Default IWB Holster Recommendations

Hey guys, I recently just purchased a .357 60-14 (My first pistol) I absolutely love it and have been searching for an IWB holster for it. I'm sure it's just me but it seems that many companies don't make a wide array of Kydex holsters for this particular pistol. I'm sure I'm looking in the wrong places but I would love to know what yall have and recommend. Thanks for the help and sorry for sounding like a rookie, I hate rookies.

Not Kydex, rather leather....

Shown many times before, my 60-15 in a Milt Sparks VersaMax II.

Most comfortable IWB that I own.....

Try Alien Gear. I have three of them and they are great. Everybody was a rookie at one time.

Have you worn Kydex IWB before? I have a variety of both Kydex and leather and am not thrilled with the Kydex against sweaty skin. I prefer leather for IWB and have found either Don Hume (brown holster on right) or Sideguard (natural holster on left) holsters to be excellent for the J frame IWB. The Hume rides higher on the belt whereas the Sideguard sits lower with the stocks about belt level.

I got a Theis Holster for my 60-15. Very well made custom leather and kydex holster!

Simply Rugged makes a leather pancake holster for the Model 60 that can be worn either on the belt or with the purchased attachments as an IWB as well. The holster can also be worn crossdraw. Very versatile. You can check them out here;

If you're set on kydex you might want to check out JM Kydex. I haven't used their products, or any kydex holsters (yet) for that matter, but their products generally come highly recommended.

If you're interested in trying a leather holster, I can recommend Side Guard Holsters, Milt Sparks, and Kramer Handgun Leather from personal experience. Kramer doesn't always have the best reputation for customer service, but they have good gear. A Side Guard Holsters Quick Clip IWB has been my primary way to carry my 642 for probably 6 years now and it's a great holster. Excellent value, but the wait time can be long, I think about 12 weeks.

I'll throw another option out there: ballistic nylon.

I prefer them for J- frames. Currently use one from DeSantis (Pro Stealth), but they have other options
Inside the Waistband Holsters, Springfield Holsters, DesantisHolster.com

I am currently waiting for a Remora to try:

I highly recommend High Noon Holsters.

Great selection. Great price. Great quality. Great service. And great warranty. With them you can go simple, or you can go fancy, with exotic leathers. They have everything. My philosophy with concealed carry is quality, and minimalist. With that in mind, I actually have their cheaper version of leather holster. I’ve liked it so much, I’ve bought THREE of them over the years, for various guns. It’s probably the lightest version of a QUALITY leather holster you can find, and probably the cheapest price too. As you go up in features, the price goes up, but still very reasonable holsters.

High Noon also sells Kydex holsters. Some people love these, but I don’t have any experience with them so can’t really comment.

I went with a Garrett Industries Silent Thunder IWB Revolver holster for my Model 60 3". It is a leather lined kydex. I also like how low it sits on my belt and that I can cant it.
