DeSantis Mini Scabbard OWB Leather Holster for Pistols and Revolvers - Open Carry Gun Holster for Men & Women, Quick Draw, Discreet, Compact & Adjustable, Fits 1 3/4" Belt

Just to paint the picture for you, I am a 63 year old retired Fire-guy, weigh 230lbs am 6'1" tall and carry all the time - everywhere. I am an explorer and spend a lot of time in the desert.. way out away from everything. My needs were for an OWB (outside the waistband) holster that was readily accessible in use, practical, comfortable and durable. AND I didn't want to spend a hundred buck on it. This holster fit all my needs and then some. I bought this for my S&W MP Shield 9mm. This is my first concealed OWB carry holster. I tried IWB holsters before and I just can't see tolerating that every day. OWB works for me since I usually have a sweatshirt, wind breaker of open shirt covering my weapon, and OWB just makes sense for my application and activity. I have only had this holster for less than 2 weeks but have worn it every day and every waking hour during that time. I could not be happier with it. It holds the weapon close to the body, so printing is not an issue and frankly I can't believe that there is another holster out there, at any price, that prints less than this one. The angle is ideal. I initially thought it would be awkward because it does sit pretty high but after I got it, all my doubts were erased. The position and angle of the holster work perfectly when drawing the weapon and stays out of the way when not needed. The fit and finish are excellent. The leather, while thin', is very rigid and fits the weapon like a glove. I did not have to adjust the retention screw out of the box but if needed after break-in, the option is there. Nice. The stitching and finish of the leather are outstanding. When shopping for this, I almost ordered another holster because it had a thumb break and I was very concerned with the weapon falling out when running, kneeling, etc.and liked the idea of the thumb break retaining the weapon, but again, this holster eliminated of all my doubts. It holds my weapon very securely regardless of my activity. I am very happy with this product and highly recommend it to anyone with similar needs. I will be buying another one for my wife as well. Thank You DeSantis! - Charlie

Nice product. gun fits snuggly, but won’t slow a draw. Comfortable to wear on hip or back.

This is a first rate holster. It fits the gun perfectly. It holds it securely. It releases it smoothly. It has the proper can't so the grip nestles tightly against your side. It finished plainly, no frills, but it's well made. If I were to pick nits, I suppose that the back side of the belt slide could have been finished better. It's a very well made product which will be with me a good long while. Buy it if you need a comfortable, unobtrusive way to carry a side arm. Good stuff.

This is my go to winter OWB concealment option. Its a no frills, no thumb break, gets the job done kind of holster. The frame retention is great and can be adjusted if need be. I will never again carry a Kydex OWB holster. (I still use Kydex IWB) Pros: Light weight Low profile, easy to conceal Good frame retention Nice clean leather look Rides against your body easy enough Cons: No adjustment in the cant. Its a heavy cant and I actually like it but if you want a straight up or adjustable holster this is not for you. If you do not wear an undershirt tucked in the position of the holster will cause your rear sights to dig into your side if you are fat, as I am but I still love it and just wrap my shirt under and its fine. All in all my OWB holster search is over. Reasonably priced, no frills, gets the job done minimalist holster. Use: Smith and Wesson M and P Shield - Conceal Carry, Backpacking, Hunting Time in Use : 3+ months.

Nice holster, my glock 43x is covered just wearing a regular untucked tshirt with this holster, awesome for walking the dog or going on a short hike on a nature trail. The retention is adequate I have sprinted and jogged with this holster and had no issues.

Good fit for m&p shield plus. Seems to be good leather.

I purchased this for my S&W model 638 J-frame. I have Crimson Trace laser grips on my 638 and it fits great in this holster. The holster has a retention screw so you can adjust the tension to your preference. This is a very nice holster with good leather and stitching. Excellent fit to the gun and it doesn't ride so high that it puts the gun in my arm pit. This makes it quick to draw from and easy to re-holster to. It fits well, albeit snugly, over my 1-1/2", very thick, EDC belt. If you read the paperwork that comes with it, they say not to use any kind of leather conditioner. I'm glad I actually read that because I almost automatically use leather conditioner on any new leather. I would recommend this holster for anyone who EDC's a J-frame.

Fits my "J" frame perfectly after trying 10+ holsters !! Most are loose or lack rigidity to keep it tight against the body, this fits and feels perfect. Nice quality leather with adjustable tension so it slides as easy or hard as you want .

Have been looking for a G48/TLR6 leather holster and have a really tough time finding one…. Especially in Canada! Took a chance ordering the G43/43x holster, and sure enough due to the opening at the barrel end, the G48’s longer barrel/slide will fit with retention staying 100% functional with only about a 1/4” protrusion out the end of the holster (my front trijicon night site is just short of catching on the end of the leather; can modify if needed). Leather is thinner than my 2 Bianchi’s (1911 and Model 29), but OK for a more concealable type holster.
