What Revolver Holster Carriers Are Saying
Revolver Holster FAQs
What is the best leather holster for a J frame revolver?
For pocket carry, the Nemesis is the most popular option we make, and it fits the S&W J Frame in 2-inch and 2 ¼-inch barrel lengths. For belt carry, the Mini Scabbard is a minimalist leather holster that rides tight to the body, and the Cozy Partner is the IWB choice with a memory band that holds the mouth open for reholstering. All three fully cover the trigger guard.
Will a revolver holster fit different barrel lengths?
No. Cylinder width and barrel length both change the mold, so each holster is marked for specific frames and barrel lengths. Check the product description for your exact revolver before ordering, and contact us if you do not see your gun listed.
Do you make revolver holsters for appendix carry and open carry?
Yes. IWB models work for appendix carry and strong side carry depending on where you set the belt clip, and OWB scabbards handle open carry and range use. Cross draw options exist for anyone who sits or drives with a firearm on the belt.
Are these holsters available in right-hand and left-hand?
Most DeSantis revolver holsters come in right-hand and left-hand versions, and the Nemesis is an ambidextrous holster that works on either side. Draw orientation is listed on each product page, or check our FAQ page for more.
Can I carry a revolver with a red dot?
Some optic-ready revolvers will fit models cut for a red dot, though availability varies by frame. Check the product page for optic clearance, or reach out with your specific setup and we will tell you what works.
