Kydex holster for J Frame (642/442)
I just picked up a new no-lock 442 and plan to make it a regular part of my carry rotation.
I have a sticky holster for it now, and like it, but wondering if there are any good IWB Kydex options for it.
Let me know your recommendations.

I picked up a G-Code but I just can’t get behind using kydex on a revolver. Maybe I’m old fashioned but I prefer leather with my j-frames. I’ll stick my Shields in kydex though.

As a rule I don't care for kydex, but I have this FIST 1K (for kydex)
that is very light and has a great clip that will not let go.

The coolest one I have seen was a limited run Vanguard by Raven. They sold out quickly ... I wish I had bought three or four of them instead of just one.

Gearcraft holsters makes nice stuff. They have “stock” stuff you can buy off the shelf or get something custom.

So what leather holster would you recommend?
I need something I can slip on and off easy without loosening belt as I have to remove the gun as there are places I go into frequently that unfortunately I can’t carry

Blackhawk has a “klipt” (I think that’s how you spell it) IWB holster for somewhere in the neighborhood of $25. It’s some kind of plastic, not as nice as some kydex options, but stays on the belt and has good retention. It’s what I use most of the time. They’re on Amazon if you search “Klipt J Frame.”

Are these places like the post office where it's a quick in and out? I just remove my gun and leave my holster on. If this is the case, look at Wright Leather Works Leather Concealed Carry Holsters & Belts | Wright Leather Works LLC
