Holster for new S&W 442

[russp1]

As I've talked to more people about this, most are saying to stay away from nylon holster's like the Unkle Mike's and to stick to leather. Some site gun finish wear, some how the nylon will wear. What's the opinion out there?

Good question...
I don't have enough experience for a comparison, but from what I've read and heard, it's my understanding that a properly fitted holster is better for the guns finish and causes less wear, regardless of interior lining...So with that said, it would seem like a custom fit Leather Holster would be the best option in that regard.

I have a custom Leather Sourdough Pancake coming soon for my 686...can't wait to try it out.

Anyway, when deciding on a holster for my 642, the "internal retention feature" was what determined my selection for this particular revolver...as I covered in my earlier post, I like that it makes the revolver from being drawn by someone else very difficult.

I have used the Blackhawk speed scabbard in the past and like it. I have also used a Winthrop OWB too. Both are pretty good.

Buy relaxed fit or loose fit jeans so you can pocket carry.
