    I purchased this for a 3” S&W 686 plus deluxe.

    Holster fitment is perfect. I’m a holster parts snob though and replaced the parts with my own preference.

    Concealment is surprisingly awesome!

    They left some liberal space on the muzzle for a longer kydex portion for concealment aid and I appreciated that.

    I’ve been looking for a good IWB holster for my S&W 640, and finally with some research I was able to find ANR. I watched their video about the holster where they introduced their product so well that I decided to order one, it was worth the wait! I have used different IWB holsters for years and found many of them uncomfortable and bulky. Usually they get uncomfortable after wearing them for couple hours or more. I feel like this is way more comfortable setup because of the small size without anything extra added to it. Definitely recommend ANR products for others

    Perfect fit and very comfortable to wear.

    Fits like a glove and is amazingly comfortable for EDC. And if anyone needs to know, the Ruger LCR .38 model also fits the LCR .357 perfectly.

    I own a 649 and a 351c and they both work flawlessly in the holsters the clip with the claw is game changing

    I own a S&W 340 PD airlite 5-shot revolver with a 1.78in barrel. Is your Kydex Revolver Holster Creator a PERTECT for this model?

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      340 Option is on the website.

  10. Makoto Nakamura (verified owner) –

    It is a perfect holster for my S&W 642, and the fit and finish is of top quality. If anyone is looking for a J-frame revolver holster, look no further.

  11. Matt Kitzmiller (verified owner) –

    I got a holster for a S&W 340 PD. The holster is perfect. Lightweight yet durable. Rigid and flexible. Perfect balance.

    My only complaint is the button clipped belt loop. Not a fan of that at all. The metal clip was unavailable at the time of purchase and i had no other option. The button is a challenge to snap open and closed at times.

    Otherwise, it’s good to go and just as awesome as my other ANR holster.

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      The snap is a “pull dot” it has to be rolled on from the bottom > up, and peeled down to unsnap.

  12. David (verified owner) –

    Very comfortable, fit and finish are better than other kydex holsters purchased from other reputable companies. Perfect fit for Kimber K6S appendix carry. Well done ANR.

  13. Mario Chavez (verified owner) –

    AnR offer everything I was looking for in a revolver holster great concealment and comfort. Adding the claw was the best choice I made it make the revolver have minimal to no printing. It’s a plus to have Alex the owner of AnR design on Instagram Answering everyone question on a daily basis.

  14. Joshua Holland (verified owner) –

    I have 17 years of law enforcement experience, so I’ve carried a lot of guns and spent a ton on ccw holsters. I’ve only had this holster for a week, but it carries comfortably, and in the appendix position, it is all but invisible. It’s a great holster and cheaper than many others I have bought. I recommend it.

  15. Rodney Tanner (verified owner) –

    This was one of the few holsters I could find for my Smith and Wesson 19 Carry Comp with a 3” barrel. I added the claw and getting an additional claw attachment height was a very nice surprise. It hides perfectly and is quite comfortable even with a 2 pound revolver. I would definitely recommend getting one for your revolver.

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      Thank you Rodney for the purchase and taking the time to write a review!

  16. K (verified owner) –

    Which one is fit to S&W351C?

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      442/642

  17. Harry (verified owner) –

    Comfortable for all-day wear; conceals well. Would recommend to others.

  18. Josh (verified owner) –

    Perfect fit.
    Buy once cry once.

  19. Frank (verified owner) –

    Conceals well, does not print(the claw does its job), and is very comfortable to wear all day(I carry appendix) The adjustability is great too based on your body/needs. This has turned my backup gun into a primary one for those hot and humid southern days in short shorts. Highly recommend. I’m a running Kimber K6S 2” with this setup.

  20. Mike Dobel (verified owner) –

    I’ve lost track of how many holsters from AnR this makes for me. Now I can rock my wheel gun when I have to wear fancy adulting clothes. Thanks for being the best in the game!

  21. Cflks (verified owner) –

    Awesome holster!! Fit the wife’s carry perfectly and is really put together well.

  22. Chris (verified owner) –

    My 2nd revolver holster from AnR and my eleventeenth handgun holster!
    Fits my Ruger LCR like a glove! Love the black carbonfiber printed kydex!

      Thanks so much Chris!

  23. Daniel Spavin (verified owner) –

    I am very pleased with my Holster for my 38 special!

  24. Kyle Preston (verified owner) –

    This holster is exactly what I was looking for when I purchased. Not many companies mfg a holster for the 586L-Comp. Time from order to shipment was as advertised. Would purchase again.

  25. Matthew Cunningham (verified owner) –

    Super comfortable and easy to put on/take off. The claw is a nice touch and helps hold the handle in towards your body. Would highly recommend this holder for the 340 S&W.

  26. Coal (verified owner) –

    This holster is it. The beginning the middle and the end. It’s what everyone needs who also happen to have a s and w 442 or 642. Get this it will instantly rememberers your joys. I’m not good at writing or describing stuff, but you need this holster in your life

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      Thanks Coal!

  27. tyler lillash (verified owner) –

    This is my 4th holster from ANR & once again they do not disappoint. Fits perfectly & is so comfortable to wear you don’t even notice you’re carrying!

  28. Chuc Nguyen (verified owner) –

    This holster is very good. It is one of the least expensive ones out there but it is not a “cheap” holster. It fits the 586 -L Comp perfectly. I swapped out the tuckable loop with. DDC 1.5 clip. The only thing I did to make this more comfortable was to round off the corner where the mounting holes are. I would definitely purchase another.

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      Thanks Chuc!

  29. Andrew C. (verified owner) –

    Holster shipped after 6 weeks, which was expected for a custom color kydex. I ordered left hand with claw, and I received a right hand. The kydex shape is nearly symmetrical and the claw is reversible, so I switched them around and it works for LH. The holes on the claw are wider than the screws, so it is only held in place by tension and wiggles around if you don’t tighten enough–the retention is adjustable only beyond that point. For $70 (nearly $100 with shipping and custom color option), I’m a bit disappointed in the “engineering” and how those parts fit together. Spare longer T-nuts for use with the claw would solve the wiggle, maybe I was sent the wrong size?
    I use soft loops or DCC clips on all of my appendix holsters. An option for plastic belt clip or DCC metal clip would be nice. I’m going to buy a DCC clip for this one, and some longer T-nuts if I can find them.
    The og woodland Kydex does look badass, and fits my S&W J frame perfectly. The claw helps with tucking it into your body. Two claw sizes were included, and I’m using the thinner one. Not many other companies are offering custom color patterns for J frames. This will be my go-to and only belt holster for my S&W 642 pro series.

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      Customer Service can send you some paper thin bushings that stop the wiggle, if there is wiggle. You just need to email them through the website contact page.

    Great holster for my Taurus 605. Couldn’t be happier.

  31. Mario (verified owner) –

    Another quality IWB holster from a name you can trust. Smooth draw, carry safely and with confidently. Claw helps keep holster close to appendix.

  32. Chris Reid (verified owner) –

    Very nice holster. I hit it for my S&W 340 pd. Fits great and very comfortable.

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      Thank you Chris!

  33. Joe Grillet (verified owner) –

    This holster is great, most options for jframes and revolver in general are leather or cheap plastic and have bad belt attachments. This one though is quality kydex with nice belt attachment options definitely making it worth the money.

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      Thanks Jon!

  34. Dylan Todd (verified owner) –

    Doesn’t come with the metal clips shown in all the pictures. Great holster other than i now have to source the belt clip I want.

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      Dylan, it’s an add-on that is selectable and purchasable when you built the holster. We think you just missed the selection and chose the base model clip. We also sell them on our site DCC MOD 4.

  35. Seth Bricker (verified owner) –

    I got a sp101 holster and before it arrived I was thinking of ways to tweak it somehow so that it would ride better for a short guy like myself… I didn’t have to do shit. The arm that the soft loop attaches to has that pivot point and that was the game changer. I didn’t even know that shit existed. It’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s shit like that, that makes your shit stand out, and there’s maybe a few other companies that also innovate.

    Everyone else seems like a shit ass clone.

  36. Ryan G (verified owner) –

    Fits like a glove and comfortable to wear. Will recommend these holsters from the mountaintops.

  37. John (verified owner) –

    Fudd technology meets modern holster offerings. With the power of my .38 special I can rule the indoor ranges. On a serious note, it’s nice that someone makes a solid Kydex offering for my 642. Ive tried a couple others and they all seemed like half baked ideas/afterthoughts. The AIWB claw makes the thing ludicrously easy to conceal and overall an excellent design. Worth every penny!

    • Alex Costa (verified owner) –

      Thanks John

  38. Justin (verified owner) –

    Purchased for my SP 101 and the fit is perfect. The model option only lists .38 but fits the same for .357. I would recommend ANR holsters to anyone.

  39. Ian (verified owner) –

    I got a claw iwb holster for my sw 442 in blood red fit was beyond perfect, even the adjustable retention it was set to was perfect. Got my holster way faster than their lead time stated. Definitley my go to kydex shop from now on.

  40. KO (verified owner) –

    Love it.

    I wanted an IWB option for my J Frame. The fit is perfect. Highly recommend.

  41. Mario Chavez (verified owner) –

    AnR offers everything you need in a revolver holster great concealment and Comfort. Adding the wing will make the revolver Have minimal to no printing. P.s Alex is always on Instagram answering Everyone questions. That’s awesome that the owner of AnR design take the time to talk and answer his customers question even if they ask the same question 1000x but he takes it in good stride.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do KYDEX holsters work well with revolvers?

Yes. KYDEX provides consistent retention around the cylinder and trigger guard, won't deform over time like leather, and is completely moisture-resistant. Each revolver holster is precision-molded for the specific frame size and barrel length.

What is the difference between J-Frame and L-Frame?

J-Frame revolvers (like the S&W 642 and 442) are small-frame snub-nose revolvers ideal for concealed carry. L-Frame revolvers (like the S&W 686 and 586) are medium-frame revolvers available in barrel lengths from 2.5" to 5", suitable for both carry and range use.

How do I select the right barrel length?

The configurator shows all available barrel lengths for your selected revolver model. Choose the length that matches your specific firearm for a precise fit. Barrel lengths range from 2" on J-Frames up to 5" on L-Frames.

What is the optic cut option?

The optic cut option provides clearance for revolver-mounted optics or red dot sights, allowing you to holster your revolver with the optic installed.

Why does this holster use DCC Mod 4 clips instead of standard clips?

The DCC Mod 4 Universal clip is a heat treated steel alloy belt clip with high clamping force, specifically chosen for the revolver platform to provide secure, stable IWB carry despite the cylinder's wider profile.

Which models are Quick Ship?

All Smith & Wesson J-Frame and L-Frame models and Kimber K6S models are Quick Ship with 9-12 business day lead times. Ruger and Taurus models are custom mold with 3-5 week lead times.

What warranty is included?

Every ANR Design holster includes a free Lifetime Warranty on the KYDEX® shell — automatically, on every order. No registration, no added cost. If your shell ever cracks or breaks under normal, intended use, ANR Design will replace it. The warranty covers the original purchaser only. Hardware, cosmetic wear, and damage from misuse are not covered.
