I need a holster to stop butt (of gun) from flopping

[Hanu]

I've had a couple of different hosters for my S&W .38 airweight but nothing seems to keep the butt of the weapon from flopping around. Any suggestions?

Sounds like you need a real gun belt.

The holster is only part of the solution, but the main way to insure your gun is tight up against your body is to use a real gun belt. More than anything else, the gun belt will make it easy to carry, a heavy gun seems light, a light gun seems weightless.

IWB always seem like a pretty good fit for me.

Get a good belt and a kydex holster.

You need a new belt, not a holster.

says who?
he didn't evet tell you what kind of holster he had, assuming he needs a new belt does him no good.

When you hear hoofbeats, expect horses, not zebras.

To the OP, two questions:

1) What type of holster are you currently using, and

2) What type of gun belt are you currently using?

This will solve your problem. Make sure to add at least an inch (i suggest 2) if you carry IWB

While I'm currently running Kydex myself and have been for a few years, I think there are probably a larger number of good designs available for the J-frame in the steak wrapper section, if only due to market demographics...

Not if you beat the horse to death already!

Even when I pocket carry I wear a good heavy belt. I have carried guns in cheap holsters with no problems...so long as I used a good belt.

Check out a Bianchi 7/7L (small frame) for owb strong side hip carry. Excellent thumb retention strap, no wiggle and easy draw; have used one for years. May need to stretch the retention strap for a custom fit (wet and pull to fit). Straight up or tilt carry slots.

You'd do well to respect her and her words...300 INGO posts or not.

You're correct. It could be his holster, this issue is usually due to wearing too light of a belt in my experience which is why I made that statement. I guess we will need more information as to what his current carry setup is.

PM slowhand
He makes custom holsters and I had one done that works great

it was primarily a joke, as she would know she quoted me a few times in a row. and it's the internet.. for you

the Don Hume JIT works great for my my 340pd, and I bought a belt at the greenwood mall around the holiday from a leather shop out of Moorseville, Hilltop leather. But even with a TJ Maxx belt the JIT held it tight to the body for me.
