Default Holster for 442

I have been looking for a right handed IWB tuckable holster for a s&w 442 that has a thumb break .
Desantis used to make a few models that meet my requirement but have since discontinued them.
Does anyone know of a maker of a nice leather holster that meets my description.

thanks

Your best bet is ebay or the "For Sale" section here. Most makers won't offer a thumb strap these days. Especially for the 442 due to the internal hammer. And when it's made for an internal hammer gun, the thumb strap is usually behind the trigger guard. Which I've always found to be awkward.

I have an old suede IWB holster from Bianchi that's made for a hammer gun (36,60, etc.). And it kind of works with my 442. So that might be an option if you find one on ebay.

If you decide to forgo leather and a strap, Harry Holsters and Tulster makes some excellent open top Kydex J frame Holsters.

Edit to add:

I went to Midwayusa Holster finder and found this offered by Galco. Not sure how well the strap will work out?

Default 442 holsters

I have a few that I use often. The VersaCarry is my EDC for the 442. Holds tight so I am not worried about needing a strap.
