New Barsony Natural Tan Leather Pocket Holster for 2", Snub-Nose .38 .357 Revolvers

Extraordinary highest quality materials and workmanship. Even little details like anchoring points for stitching well thought out and delivered. Unlike other pocket holsters I have owned, this one allows me to re-holster inside my pocket. I own the 1 1/8 inch barrel 642 and this fits fine. Works in my cowboy wranglers and suit trousers. Pocket holsters are primarily used to 1) provide safe carry w/o any opportunity for trigger to snag while in your pocket; and 2) keep your pocket from being leak on by gun cleaning fluids or abraded by barrels and sights in direct contact with the cloth. This does both superbly. I don’t understand the comment about “printing.” If you carry a revolver, that’s going to happen regardless of what holster you use. I am a very satisfied customer, and will look at Barsony first from now on.

At this price-point, this is a very good product which I strongly recommend. (There are higher quality pocket holsters out there -- one brand begins with "G" -- but they are 2x to 3x the cost of this one, so comparing this directly to a $70 shaped, horse-hide holster is not fair). I selected the Ruger LCR option, and it works very well with Ruger LCR, holding it securely. (And I appreciate that there is a bit of extra leather in the grip area, which I easily trimmed back with scissors to my liking to expose a bit more of the grip and frame during drawing). The "hooks" work very well, keeping the holster in both 5.11 jeans and cargo shorts when gun is drawn. (It appears that some reviewers don't understand how this type of holster is supposed to work). This is larger than most "sticky" holsters, and may be too large for some pockets that have a pointed rather than squared shape, as some reviewers have said. As other reviewers have stated, you can trim this to a certain degree, or you way want to use a smaller sticky holster in narrow pockets (and replace it every year when it loses it's sticky texture!). But after putting this item in a few different pairs of pants, I think the manufacturer absolutely nailed the size (at least of the model I purchased). I can't comment on durability because I just started using it, but at this point I have to say, "Well done!"

Great holster. This is for my wife's S&W 642 Lady Smith and it fits well and functions great. This is designed to mask the outline and presence of a handgun in your pocket, not make it invisible. It fits well in my dress slacks and jeans when I carry it, but it is not invisible. It looks like a wallet (which may be considered 'invisible' for some since it doesn't scream GUN). Any way, the holster with the gun in it slides in your pocket easily. Drawing the handgun from my pocket is smooth and easy and the holster stays in your pocket, but it is very difficult to remove from your pocket (which I presume is by design as you don't want to present a holstered handgun when it's needed). All in all, a great pocket holster for the price, well built, nice fit around the revolver, and remains in your pocket when the weapon is drawn.

Very glad to find an affordable, American-made holster that can be employed by a lefty. I put a good quality leather treatment on it (I am in Florida and the rainy season is upon us), so will see how it holds up to humidity. It does hold the pistol well and, unlike some nylon holsters I have had, does not allow the pistol to tip forward or backward in the pocket. One note--It is much larger than some pocket holsters, so I have had to try it with different pairs of shorts and pants to see if it will carry properly.

I used this as a holster for a Taurus 327. It works very well. It is not a thick leather that stays open for reholstering. It is also not a high dollar holster. I would buy it again

Good holster and beautiful quality held my gun really good. I’m a five foot two size man and the holster in my 29 x 30 inch pants was very in satisfactory to say the least. However I ordered A barsony Inside the waistband holster that is leather and I will Be a little bit more pleased with this one. This is my first time conceal carrying so we will see. I usually Open carry my glock 17 with about 2 spare magazines. Lol

Beautiful pocket holster and my S & W Body Guard snub nose revolver fits the same as pictured. I like that I can wear my CCW in a front pocket of my pants. I haven't been able to draw the gun out of the pocket holster without the holster coming out with the gun--I don't know if I just need to practice drawing from this holster or will have to hold the bottom of the holster with my supporting hand while drawing the gun with my shooting hand. The natural leather is gorgeous and the holster is well made; although the leather is not thick, I haven't noticed any problem with imprinting through my slacks when using this holster.

The holster fits well in the pocket and is well constructed but the fit for a ruger sp101 is a little loose and the gun slides all the through it making it hard to grasp the hand grips when trying to retrieve the pistol from your pocket
