Buying a Holster for a N-Frame Revolver
The N-Frame is the designation for S&W’s large-frame revolvers, designed to handle heavy-caliber cartridges like the .44 Russian, .44 Special, and later the .44 Magnum. The initial N-Frame revolvers were introduced as .44 Hand Ejector models in 1905, evolving from earlier large-frame designs of the late 19th century. The “N-Frame” term itself wasn’t used by S&W until later, but collectors retroactively apply it to these early large-frame hand ejectors.
An excellent N-Frame holsters should be:
- Secure – The reason you’re buying a holster is to securely retain your weapon when not in use. hand-molded revolver holsters snugly retain your weapon using heavy duty, double-reinforced-stitched leather beveled for comfort and safe retention.
- Comfortable – Some people may wear snub-nose revolvers in a pocket holster or IWB for a concealed carry, but the most popular type of holster for the longer barrel N-Frames is the OWB belt holster we offer. It’s by far the most comfortable way to carry all day, either on your weak side or your strong side hip, depending on which type of draw you prefer.
- Durable – We only use leather from the highest quality American sources. Our heavy native steerhide is designed to last for generations. We stand by our craftsmanship with a Lifetime Warranty. Additionally, we care about protecting the bluing of your revolver with a close-bottom design and soft interior resistant to tarnishing or scratching.
Depending on your planned usage, you may also care about buying a N-Frame holster that offers:
- Accessibility — The RVH-5.3 leaves the weapon easily accessible to you at all times, with NO added retention devices like thumb-breaks or trigger guard hoods. This is particularly important when using your weapon for personal protection or for frequent use on the range.
