Frequently Asked Questions

Will this holster fit my S&W J-frame revolver?

The HT158B Hornet is molded specifically for S&W J-frame revolvers with 2" barrels. If your revolver is a J-frame with a 2" barrel, this holster will fit.

Is this holster right-hand or left-hand draw?

The HT158B is configured for right-hand draw. Make sure this matches your shooting hand before ordering.

What does OWB mean and is it right for me?

OWB (outside-the-waistband) means the holster sits outside your pants rather than inside. OWB carry offers faster access and is comfortable for extended periods, making it popular with both duty and civilian carriers. If you prefer speed and accessibility over deep concealment, an OWB belt slide is a solid choice.

How does leather holster fit improve over time?

Leather naturally molds and conforms to your gun with use. The Hornet will customize itself to your specific revolver, tightening retention slightly and improving the natural draw. This is one of the key advantages of quality leather over rigid materials.
