Defensive Revolver for EDC

[nammac]

I do want to find nice leather holsters for my smith and wesson mountain guns

Classic guns deserve classic leather. They're just meant to be together, like peas and carrots, or whiskey and beer…

642 is currently riding in leather…. Very comfortable at about 1:30 or so…

If it was OWB that would be full fudd! Hahaha. Great looking setup! I need new grips for mine though.

Mine is currently wearing Crimson LG-405 boot grips, adds a bit of cushion to the backstrap, right where the web of the hand lands.

Otherwise I really like Altamont boot grips for the j frame. Like these:

As a lefty the laser grips don't really work for me. I'm waiting for these to come back in stock.

What on earth is up with that logo on your holster? Looks like two children pressed up against a shirtless bald guy's chest. Friggin Epstein special, right there

Ya all but a few of mine are boltron or kydex....shhhhh dont tell anyone. I will loose my fud cred

Naaaaawww. Even I have some Kydex holsters. The last two I bought from GunfightersInc. were both Kydex (and Nylon blend).

What holster of theirs uses nylon? I have many gunfighters Inc holsters and don't recall anything but kydex.

Their Kenai Chest Holster. I've got one for my S&W 629 Classic and another for my RIA 1911 10mm.

From their website: We settled on a blend of Kydex and Nylon for excellent retention characteristics, weatherproofing, and lightweight. The Kenai Chest Holster is a perfect pairing with a modern firearm such as the Glock 40MOS or a classic big-bore revolver such as the Ruger Super Redhawk.

Hmmmm…. Guess this is full fudd….



From the late 1980's, that's a Triple K thumb break holding a mid 80's vintage Taurus 85. Back when they were direct knockoffs of S&W's. That thing has such a great trigger.

Only problem with leather owb holsters is the telltale squeak when combined with a leather belt…

Ah the 80s... When people were trained to put their finger on the trigger while drawing their weapons...

What revolver do you trust the most for daily carry?

 

[orygun]

Uncle Mike's has upped their game!

That's what I thought! I have an Uncle Mike's kydex for a J-frame and I thought it looked familiar. However the Uncle Mike's mounting system is not at all this clean and compact.

 

[orygun]

What revolver do you trust the most for daily carry?

A 3" 357 J-frame, mostly because it's the only one I carry fairly consistently. But every DA revolver I've ever owned has been in the same camp, with one temporary exception. Before @Cerberus Group fixed my 329, I would have carried my Ruger 22 with more confidence.

Your lost me at tortoise......

Your lost me at tortoise......

I hear tortoise revolvers have a hare trigger

 

[Dirty Cary]

My holsters have lifetime warranties so I'm not terribly concerned. I shouldn't say it's Kydex though as I don't know for certain. It's some kind of plastic. All I know is they are comfortable and retain the gun very well.

Probably made out of recycled Glocks.

 

[nammac]

What revolver do you trust the most for daily carry?

I personally like and trust my 642. But it's also had about 2K rounds put through it. Goes bang every single time and more accurate than me.

Don't ponder, go for it. They're a bit snappy, but with the right grips, shouldn't be an issue.
