Hi, newbie to the site here. I've got a S&W 442 coming my way and am looking for an OWB recommendation...my preference is for leather or a soft synthetic material, not hard plastic. Something reasonably priced. Please include pics if possible. Thx.

I like the Galco Concealable.

Silver Dollar Pancake?
I have been hooked on Rob's work for several years now. Comfort and great design in the spirit of Roy Bakers Pancake and his proven design.

Don't scrimp on a holster. Your life depends on concealment and good control. You get the best concealment from a pancake holster, at the expense of a lot of belt space. A hybrid loop and slot holster (folded design) is good, but doesn't hold the top strap as tightly to your side. Any holster used for self defense should allow one-hand reholstering.
A custom holster will come tight and need a certain amount of breakin, but last for years. A lot of people make good OWB holsters. I like Grizzle and Alessi for top quality design and materials, but the Sparks VM2 is the best for IWB carry.

+1 on the pancake. RGrizzle and LOBO make nice ones. Mitch Rosen makes a nice one, too.

I've had a silver dollar pancake and I now have Lobo...the Lobos are better formed to the gun...IMO.
