Barsony New Brown Leather Tuckable IWB Holster for Snub Nose 2" 22 38 357 41 44 Revolvers

At first I did not like this holster, and the reason was because I was wrongly comparing it to a similar, but not tuckable, Relentless Tactical leather holster. Similar size and shape, same exact metal clip, but the Relentless Tactical holster is much thicker, with stiffer leather and with quite a bit more retention. You can turn the Relentless Tactical holster upside down and shake it, pistol won’t fall out. Not so with this Barsony holster. It’s made of thin, flimsy leather, and it has zero retention when it’s not in your pants.Well it turns out that this level of retention is really not necessary and actually counterproductive to a clean draw. The Barsony holster is “loose” by the standards of high retention holsters. The only real drawback to this looseness is that when you loosen your belt to use the restroom, you have to be very careful not to let the pistol fall out of the holster, whereas high retention gives you more peace of mind that your pistol isn’t going to fall in the toilet, lol.But I argue that this is not a substantial issue. You can easily remove the holster from your pants before loosening them, and depending on how deep your pockets are, you may find that you can securely stow the pistol in your pocket while your belt is loose. The holster even has a bit of hook shaped leather in the top corner, presumably to prevent the holster from drawing out with the gun when you are drawing from pocket carry. It’s actually a versatile and well designed holster.Although the metal clip is basically the same as Relentless Tactical holsters, it’s better because it does not have a stupid logo on it! I’m talking to you Relentless! Very dumb to make a CONCEALED carry holster with a frickin’ logo on it. Barsony’s clip is plain with no logos to give you away, just the way it should be. Then again if someone notices your concealed carry holster’s clip, it probably doesn’t matter whether or not there’s a logo on it, they gonna know you’re carrying.The flap of leather to which the metal clip is attached is a great design that lets you tuck your shirt in over the top of the gun, hence the term “tuckable.” I was a bit concerned with the stitching of the flap to the rest of the holster, but it appears to be very strong thread and it’s double stitched in that location for added strength.Holster has held up great for a few months. Although the leather is thin-ish, it’s very high quality. This thing is made to use day in and day out. I’ll update if I have any issues with the stitching or otherwise, but don’t hold your breath! This thing is very well made. Excellent buy!

I've been carrying with this holster for a week now. I carry a s&w 442 snubbie and this holster fits the gun perfect. It's not a formed holster, so I'm sure it gets better with use. Very comfortable feel, the leather is high quality and very soft. The tuckable option is AWESOME and works pretty incosnpicuously if you put the clip under a belt. The pictures aren't very clear, but it holds the gun at a very comfortable 'height' out of the waistline. I carry appendix, so I can't comment on how well this would perform in other positions. The only negative thing I have to say is that the way the clip allows you to tuck your shirt in allows for some interesting bathroom experiences. If you're not sure to keep the holster from flipping inverted the gun is likely to be on the floor of a restroom.

I have a Ruger SP101 and carry appendix IWB. Before this I carried with a Sticky Holster. This is great! Easy to put on and very comfortable. I don’t know why this should matter, maybe other “wheel gun” guys will relate. But it was just satisfying to put my revolver in real leather and it smells like leather too!

I used this product for a 1994 Taurus 357. Note... That is a medium frame gun and I ordered a small frame holster. This was my mistake, but the seller was accommodating and allowed me to return the product for one size larger. I have to tell you for the price, this is a really nice holster. I've worn it with a t-shirt and a tucked in shirt. It works as advertised and is comfortable. It's a quality leather that is supple and molds to the gun over time. It looks great and has a nice slim profile. Nothing I could find local comes close.. in quality or price. It's made in the USA, and it's something I have no regrets purchasing. I will look here before anywhere else the next time I need a holster.Edit. Several years later... the leather has broken down a bit. I don’t carry this pistol any more, but maybe a year or so after I purchased it and started carrying it on a constant schedule it started to mold too much, and the firearm sunk too deep. This made it difficult to draw, and ultimately drove me to get a new CCW, as no one made a holster for this particular gun(I needed to update anyway). I have never revisited this store, but still have the same holster. It is just in the bin with the rest of them now. I wanted it to work, but sadly it didn’t pass the test of time. It was a general standard size, so I can’t fault them too much.

As you can see from the picture there is very little room between the grip and the holster. This requires fumbling to get the gun out far enough to grasp it firmly as one should. Fumbling is not recommended when you are handling a weapon so I gave a low review. I cut the ear off and restitched and now have enough room to get a firm grip on the gun. Other than that, the holster works well.
