Smith and Wesson snubbie (j-frame) Inside the Waistband kydex/retention holster?

[sprice]

I've noticed there's other holsters like this for glocks but are there any for a s&w snubbie?

 

[sprice]

anyone?

sprice,

I have never seen one, though that doesn't mean there isn't one. Just curious though, why kydex for IWB carry? Most folks use leather. I know I do. It seems like it would be awfully abrasive. No offense intended.

Edit - Google shows several variations of kydex for J Frames, so they are out there. Check Uncle Mikes.

it's not the kydex part that matters- it's the retention. Kydex is just usually retained though that's why.

anyone have any info?

I saw a blackhawk with retention at bass pro but it was OWB

Grandfather Oaks makes a decent one called the Hidden Companion for $35.

I use one for my Model 60 and really like it after I modified it. I cut down the top so that it ended just at the top of the cylinder, moved the leather strap further to the rear, just behind the cylinder, and put another retention screw in the rear top to tighten it up.

Hoffners holsters makes a kydex highride ITP holster.

DeSantis Scorpian can be had for $48-$63 dollars, depending on where you shop. I'll be ordering one for mine in the coming weeks.

Blade-Tech

Oh man. I love my kydex inside the waistband holster. I had to search long and hard for one to fit my 3" S&W Model 60. Check out Blade-Tech. They make all kinds of kydex holsters for revolvers of all kinds (and semi-autos too).

This is the holster that I use. It holds the gun very snug because the holster is modeled specifically for my gun (or whatever gun you want).
