I am wondering what is your guys favorite inside the waistband holster. I have a Colt King Cobra 2019 3 inch model, and I am trying to find a decent holster for it. Wright leather works is what is my top contender atm
What's your favorite inside the waistband Handgun Holster

I have never carried a revolver IWB before, but it sounds uncomfortable to me. I use Uncle Mike's cheap little soft suede holsters for my auto's. They are cheap & flimsy, but I am a big believer in my comfort and they work for me.
If I were to ever pack a revolver IWB, this one looks pretty comfortable.
They make good holsters, but the tanning has an annoying tendency to transfer into your underwear on hot days when you're sweating. I had one for my Walther PPS, but I don't use it anymore. Vedder makes really good IWB holsters, but I couldn't find Colts as any of the options.
I kind of agree with Rob. A revolver IWB sounds a bit uncomfortable. Someone here probably carries a revolver IWB, they may be able to make some suggestions.

I was thinking it was doable as a iwb. I have one own and it drives me nuts it feels like it's just flopping on my side....but it could be just a ****ty holster

Anything is doable and I'm sure some guys with IWB revolver experience will be chiming in. I do want to carry my Ruger SP101 when I retire, but I'm going to get me some of that purty OWB leather @Acmemfg carries his revolvers in.
Tim has proven on multiple occasions, that a quality OWB leather holster is not only beautiful, but it will snug up high & tight and will be concealable with proper attire.

I do carry my s&w performance model 442 iwb. The King Cobra has a 3 inch barrel, and it weighs 28 onces which is 4 onces more then a glock 19. Only issue is the cylinder width since its 6 rounds.
So what owb holster are you talking about?

Clinger V3 Stingray, very comfortable with my little Kahn CW9
That's impressively lightweight for a revolver.
Oh dude, if you haven't seen some of Tim's holster pics you are in for a treat... Hopefully he will see he has been tagged in your thread and will post some excellent examples for your revolver. They are impressive.
In fact, he has several of the Colt snake guns himself and carries them in some awesome leather.

IWB Holsters
I currently have a leather IWB holster and have used it for years. The problem I have with it is that it is very bulky and not very comfortable to wear. In the AZ heat, I would like something lighter and less bulky for IWB use. Recently, I met someone who took a Gunsite Academy course last...

Is that for revolvers Jim?
Hi guys. Heard someone call.
Leather revolver holsters? A quality maker can set you up with a rig that is comfortable, concealable, secure, and won’t bleed on your underwear. All holsters here are available for the 2019 King Cobra.
1. The Colts pictured here are a 2017 Cobra with a Ryan Grizzle Georgia Snap 2 and 2019 King Cobra alongside a Wright Leather Marshall.
2. El Paso Saddle Crosshair shown with the KC. Nice rig, softer leather than most. Still does a fine job as an EDC holster. For range work...the soft-ish leather can make frequent reholstering a bit tedious.
3. S&W Model 66 and Model 629 with Ryan Grizzle’s Workin’ Man rigs. Great as an all purpose outdoor holster. Carries nicely under heavy clothing.
4. Sam Andrews Saddle Holster shown with a S&W Model 442. Maybe the standard by which all other similar holsters may be judged.
....Still wanting the IWB?
5. Ritchie Leather Nighthawk with the 442. It just does it correctly if you MUST have an IWB rig.

I want deep concealment, so mine are the tuckable models. I have a little Kusak Old Fashioned, real nice leather. and a Vedder light tuck, a Kydex, both are comfortable, the Vetter has what they call a claw, a piece that extends to the back side, perpendicular to the grip, and presses on the waistband of trousers behind the belt, to keep the gun butt in toward the body more. It tends to conceal a little better, but comfort goes to the Kusak.
Only kind of?
This means no whitey tighty's?
Yeah. Kinda.
I'm at an age where stains like that make you think you've had one of those accidents....
. I like the coffee tanning from WLW.Don
If I got one of those stains as high as my holster I would be worried.Yeah. Kinda.

I carry my S&W Airweight Bodyguard J frame IWB without a holster, supported by Barrami Hip grips, no longer made, but sometimes found NOS. DeSantis currently makes a similar grip. Probably the most comfortable carry I have.
No. But a few revolver holsters were mentioned.
