I was looking for leather IWB holster for my new J frame Smith & Wesson revolver and the Desantis summer heat didn’t disappoint. The leatherwork looks great.

I ordered my holster on Saturday and it was shipped from Optics Planet on Tuesday. I received it within two weeks. It was the correct holster that I ordered and it works great. I would not hesitate to order from Optics Planet again.

I was having a difficult time finding an IWB holster for my J frame. I came across the DeSantis Summer Heat Leather IWB Holster, S&W J frame 2”-2-1/4” Left hand , which fits perfectly in the small of my back. My firearm fits snug and the hammer is protected. No issues retrieving the firearm. Made with high quality materials . Overall I’m very happy with the purchase
Best Used for:
- IWB CC small of back for RH individuals
Would recommend: Yes

Purchased holster for wife. Works great in her purse. She wanted a holster that felt secure, and would not collapse in her purse. Will buy more to use in other carry methods. Thanks again Optics Planet.

Very good build quality. Comfortable and secure. Fits j frame well. However, belt clip is loose in a strap on the holster. Makes it difficult to slip inside wasteland. Clip and strap catch on belt/waistband making it a pain to put in place. Once there it works well though.
Pros:
- Build quality. Materials.
Cons:
- Hard to attach inside waistband.
Would recommend: Yes

I purchased this holster for my Smith and Wesson airweight. I've been wearing it in the two o'clock position with no issues. With my airweight their is almost no retention, but that's ok with me. The gun stays put moving/running around but maybe if I was in a ground fighting it could come loose. Overall this is one of the best holsters on the market for the J-Frame.
Cons:
- retention could be better - but its suitable
Would recommend: Yes

Perfect for my 342 Airlite TI for summer CC. A must have. It’s also very light weight for a premium leather holster. It’s a perfect addition for any J frame S$W. I definitely recommend you try it...................::::::::::::::::::::::::....................
Pros:
- Leather yet soft and comfortable

Holster has a Nice leather color. Strong metal clip, yet clip wiggles a bit. To me...Unusual, but not a problem. Put revolver in overnight as suggested, yet Doesn't seem to need a break in period. Decent retention and priced fairly.

This holster is exactly what I wanted. Fits my .38 S&W snubbie perfect. Sits at 4:00 o'clock just the way I need it to. It is sturdy and the clip doesn't move once attached. The other thing I really like it is it works with or without a belt. Perfect holster for conceal carry and keeping your firearm looking like new!
