Garrett Industries Silent Thunder IWB Holster (j-frame)

Really like what Garrett Industries does here. This holster is an IWB for a j-frame. It works out pretty well. Check them out here:

Thanks for actually putting the holster on and showing the audience how it functions. You have a great overview/review format. Cheers!

[@TheOl1911]

thanks man! i appreciate it!

[@davidjanuszewski5020]

this holster belt clip is the best I have ever seen offered for a holster, a truly great concept/design...

[@TheOl1911]

David Januszewski I totally agree. The larger clips (stronger ones) are overkill and basically act like a belt loop. I think if you were going to carry a 1911 or an all steel revolver I'd up the clip to something like that. Otherwise the standard clip seems to be plenty. Also you can do the easy on/off.

[@richarddilorenzo8188]

Talk about coming late to the party…. This holster has been offered for many years. I got mine today….I have purchased many Kydex holsters, and my opinion was they’re all about the same… Garrett Industries has hanged my mind about that. This holster for my 638 J Frame is the Cadillac of Kydex….or maybe Ferrari….The fit and finish are extraordinary! This is the best example of “you get what you pay for”.

[@kylecole7068]

Just stopped by the shop today, I'm a local, and they spent all of the time needed showing me all that I needed to know about holsters for any type of carry. They showed me every option I had available and were quick about everything. Also, having it within 7 business days is prettttty nice for custom work.

[@TheOl1911]

+Kyle Cole that is awesome! I wish they would make a vid about their operation

[@kylecole7068]

+TheOl1911 I'll be sure to tell them people are interested next time I'm there.

[@tccgrad1999]

The company is based in Woodville, Tx. Texans are just friendly like that. Great little town in the piney woods of east Texas.

[@sharper9009]

IWB doesn’t have to be uncomfortable; especially if you carry in the appendix position. While many of the holsters you prefer are beautiful to look at they are not ideal for concealment or comfort. I’m 6’0 tall and weigh 150lbs; I can comfortably carry and conceal a 3” Ruger GP100 or a 3” 686 Plus. I’m able to do this because I use holsters specifically designed for this purpose. JM Custom Kydex, Dark Star Gear & Harry’s Holsters all make fantastic holsters that get the job done from a comfort & concealment standpoint. By the way I truly enjoy your channel; your taste in guns is impeccable 👍

[@paulrampon1167]

I am wearing my new holster from Garrett. The made one for my Kimber K6s. Very similar to that you are showing. Wonderful

[@paulrampon1167]

BTW the clip on my holster is on the trigger side which aids in concealment

[@ANTI-LGBTQG]

These are my favorite holsters.

[@brandonlapine5174]

Ive had 1 of these for my jframe since ive seen this video. And still love it

[@MidwayShooter]

Excellent info on a great holster. You know I got one of them J frames, love'em .

[@bprice1892]

Perfect timing. Just picked up my new 442 yesterday

[@TheOl1911]

bprice1892 Awesome, curious how is the finish of your 442? Mine is actually chipping away at the muzzle?!?!!? I find this holster system to work very well with a j-frame and most likely any 380 Pocket sized pistol...

[@humans4targets2]

I was just thinking about getting a side holster for my 360SC J frame and this one looks awesome! Great video!

[@TheOl1911]

humans4targets2 Let me know if you decide to get it, it works pretty well!

[@BERETTA9mmUSA]

Looks like another FINE holster...... The more of your videos I watch the money I spend...hehehehe, Very Good Job on this Video Ol1911, Take care and check 360 My Friend...... BERETTA9mmUSA Sr.

[@TheOl1911]

***** I'm sorry LOL, thanks as always!

[@emilyhoihoiphillips6543]

I just got a lavender lady by charger arms 32 special I need a holster i have no idea where to get a holster. Pretty sure it's a jframe so would any jframe work? Also think it's a 3inch barrel Idk. Just started shootings and I live in area I feel the need to carry now since I walk my talk alone at night and things like that and someone was murdered behind my apartment at the park I go to all the time multiple times per day/night so I want a holster that will fit my new firearm. Any suggestions would be great from anyone

[@The-Homecook-0000]

It looks like it makes the gun ride high,also does it make thick in your waste do u still use that holster....

[@wesleykish3297]

Looks like a great holster for an air weight. I use one very similar now that is all leather and this is looking like a better option. Going to check into this one, Thanks for the video and recommendation.

[@douglaselliott8298]

Clever "clip" design. IMO Garrett(and many others) should attach the belt clip 'offset' at where the retention adjustment screw(s) are. This moves the clip, 'bosses' and hardware OFF the already FATTEST portion of the gun/holster and serendipitously creates a "torque arm" effect that naturally pulls the gun's grip flush against the body. I've modified (or specified) similar polymer holsters for both revolvers and semi-autos in this way and it saves a full half inch or more of total width in the individual system, ultimately showing a far less pronounced bulge in one's belt-line.

[@l8tbraker]

Totally agree. I'm a thin guy, and that bulge is huge on me. (The holster, I mean, LOL.) Anyway, 2 wider spaced clips work much better for me.

[@douglaselliott8298]

l8braker- I'm 60, my waist size exceeds my inseam by 15", and I wear suspenders. The dual clip designs quickly proved problematic to angrily frustrating for me in respect to easy on, off, and position adjustability. A proper weight leather belt is the best defense against 'sag' IMO. But if it works; wear it.

[@Lee-rq1ek]

I know I'm a bit late to this discussion, however, if you would take a look at Garrett Industries website, you'll see they do just as you want. www.giholsters.com/category-s/361.htm I have two of their holsters, one for the 1911 and the other for a S&W Model 4566. Both carry the heavier handguns extremely well.

[@newhampshirebound8551]

Very nice holster. I never saw leather lined kydex. I want one. Nice vids. I love revolvers. Subbed.

[@TheOl1911]

NewHampshire Bound Thanks so much!!!

[@UrbanArmed]

Wow, that is one nice holster.. nice and quiet...

[@TheOl1911]

UrbanArmed it works pretty well, i would not hesitate to buy another one for a micro/compact gun.

[@amacro11]

I've had one of these for a few years and it has not shown signs of wear etc it's for a 3 inch 1911 and although it is expensive I believe it's worth the money

[@TheOl1911]

amacro11 very nice! I also feel they are worth the money. Also the lead time is very reasonable (7 biz days). Pricy yes but I believe they work very well. I know of someone that uses their duty holster (D2) and states it is serving him very well. Good customer service as well.

[@tchambers807]

Hi there, just curious if the leather has kept the finish on the gun looking good after almost a decade? Garrett still selling them so that's a good sign. Thanks for the review!

[@bt465]

From what you know are there any other companies that produce a same product? Unfortunately giholsters don't do custom attachments ☹️

[@eduardobabroff]

I have similar holster, but didnt work for me, mine does not has an adjustable clip, so i got me a remora holster and it's work really good. I'm so glad it work for you, by the way good video man.

[@TheOl1911]

eduardobabroff thanks my friend!

[@edge4006]

I like the design, great video.

[@TheOl1911]

edge4006 thanks!

[@navyman8903]

That's a classy looking holster sir.

[@TheOl1911]

navyman8903 thanks man!

[@flyontop]

Great video... I have a M&P 340 and really liked the way you presented the holster. Seems like a great add on to my EDC system. Could you please say the name of or type of clip on yours? I couldn't figure out which one it is on their web site. Thanks in advance!

[@TheOl1911]

flyontop that holster had the standard clip. DO NOT get the heavy duty clip as it was way too thick and did not work well. That is more suited for larger firearms that are heavier.

[@SweetWillyJonez]

Another good vid on what looks like solid equipment!

[@TheOl1911]

SweetWillyJonez its good stuff, thanks!

[@Dawnseeker2000]

Very nice craftsmanship.

[@grasscutter1963]

As always, enjoyed your video. Boy, I have been gone to long from here, I have some catching up to do on your videos. LOL

[@merdog7179]

that's a great looking holster are they backed by a warranty of any kind? thanks for the video

[@unkalpaddy481]

Excellent video & review. Nice work! do you think this holster would work on slightly longer/larger revolver, like those old .32 webleys? Have come across any j-frame this holster doesnt work well with?

[@J0j0m10]

Good vid. Picked one up for my S&W Shield.

[@TheOl1911]

j0j0m10 I think it would work well for the Shield.

[@gcogs2296]

Looks like a great holster. Do they make this for the Kimber K6S 2 inch?

[@TheOl1911]

I believe so... Look them up on Google

[@gixxxer1k]

which model holster is this? they offer two models of iwb for j frame in silent thunder. solo and revolver are the two options. they are both for the j frame revolver but on their website. the one you have looks more like the solo, thanks

[@TheOl1911]

I think this model is not offered anymore? I'm sorry this holster was sent to me so I'm not sure what model it was. This is an older vid...so I think they were making these differently back then.

[@mr.debusey774]

Thanks for all your videos;; I am getting this

[@mikelagmay3275]

You sound like you are not so happy about the incog, is it just because of the weak clips or it's because of something more? Please let me know cause i'm thinking of ordering one for my glock 19. Thank you!

[@TheOl1911]

Mike Lagmay I haven't been carrying the G19 as much now and as the month goes on I will probably put the G19 on hiatus until Fall. But in regards to the INCOG I do not like the mag caddy attachment as it prints big time and I've been made a few times already. It was embarrassing and I had some explaining to do, LOL. The clips concern me somewhat but not really...not yet. It seems to stay put but I can't help but think one day they will loose all their rigidity and when drawing I'll draw the holster out. Probably not but its on my mind.

[@derekschmidt1639]

Does it come in khaki or white

[@millatizzy9674]

The best ive seen for a j frame... 85 bucks is a little steep... But it looks quality!!! Im sold. Thanks for the video. Their site doesnt have a drop down for "gun models" do i just type in s&w j frame? Or do i need to give actual model number..? It should fit a 637, 642 442 and mine which is a newer one the 437.. Black airweight with fde combat grips.. I love it.

[@ACMAGNUM1]

Very nice holster. nice, informative video.

[@brandonlapine5174]

Theol1911 im really thinking about getting one of these for my j frame, do you think this would work well for appendix carry too?

[@cjunior125]

Cool holster! Would you recommend for appendix carry?

[@TheOl1911]

For a j-frame yes this holster will work for appendix

[@dlsslj]

Great Co great people I have one for my g26. Thanks bud for video

[@invictus497]

Do you think it would work well for the L frame smith & Wesson 686?

[@TheOl1911]

Invictus497 I don't know... maybe not. I think for something like that you need two clips to support the weight.

[@BowmanBassFisher]

This would probably ride real nice in the appendix carry as well.

[@TheOl1911]

BowmanBassFisher I have not tried it in that mode of carry yet. I think it would work really well with a 380 type micro pistol.

[@jjking316]

I love the holster especially the clip design. But the price just doesn't do it for me. I use a Foxx Holsters hybrid and a Little Foxx and I love them. Especially for $4o shipped

[@TheOl1911]

Gun Slinger It is very pricy for sure, almost $100. But I do feel its worth it. But I'll check out the foxx.

[@OzarkNick]

Looks nice.

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

Nice. 2021 $90, usually ships in 2-3 weeks.

[@OzarkNick]

I'm looking at their site, which version of the hook is that?

[@TheOl1911]

OzarkNick its the "Standard Clip" but I think I'd like to go with the HD Wide Clip, that's just me though as the standard clip works fine. I just like the extra strength as I want that extreme rigidity.

[@OzarkNick]

***** Thanks. Just ordered a Desantis Sof-Tuck to try my Taurus 85 in. I might have to give one of these a shot too.

[@TheOl1911]

OzarkNick nice, let me know how that works. I know of another guy here that use the Sof-Tuck for their Mustang. Said it was decent and gets the job done.

[@OzarkNick]

***** Hey, been using my Sof-Tuck for the past month. I did a video review, it's up on my channel if you're interested.

[@Garrett12362]

I'm considering one of these for the old glock model 40 hahahah. Perfect carry gun lol

[@wbwills2]

You will Love it. I carry a K frame in the stx (not 2.0 version)OWB with leather straps and snaps. Straight drop 3 o’clock. Under a T-shirt .its slick on the outside and conceals nicely. They don’t have it on the website anymore but they make a version with a soft back. Three layers. Suede against the skin, neoprene moisture barrier, Herman oak leather against the gun. Hermann oak and kydex on the front. Solo and fusion are the names. Both of those are IWB. saw your comment and figured it might be something you may be interested in. When Mrs. Garrett emailed me back about the two holsters she did mention you lose a little retention. But against the body, behind the belt you get some friction tension.Give them a call. Very easy to work with.

[@l8tbraker]

I like the concept, but I'm not so sure about the execution. It looks like it's sharp around the edges. In any case, the single clip in the middle thing doesn't work for me. Makes it look like I'm wearing a colostomy bag or something. Much prefer the wide spaced 2 clips format.

[@xteledude5726]

Realize the reply is a year after this comment.. GI also makes a revolver holster that has an offset mount.. the holster sits tighter without the bulge from the clip. The edges are finished nicely, better than other Kydex holsters I've seen and used. They offer a pretty wide selection of clips.. I find that the wide gripper clips does a fantastic job, holds the holster in place all day, unlike the typical FOMI clip I never need to adjust it and never worried that the holster is going to work it's self off my belt, even after a long car ride. I'm a big guy and am impressed with how comfortable the holster is with my K6 revolver..Certainly think it's worth looking at the options available..

[@TheBoxingCannabyte]

Think I might pick up an OWB (I like my J Frame carried in OWB, my fashion sense is fucked but it does allow for that hehe)

[@chgofirefighter]

How do you compare this holster to the Silent thunder solo? Thanks, nice video~

[@robertarc5055]

Is the clip metal?

[@TheOl1911]

No it’s polymer.

[@N98858]

Thanks...

[@leerx7015]

thanks, getting...

[@ambroulard]

Great,,,, except you can't find it Anywhere...

[@budburr66]

Green????????

[@roy-nk4vq]

Nice holster, but I hate the clip.

[@johnmead9012]

7:56 would've been way cooler if you shot an accidental round at that moment lol
