Will this holster accommodate a S&W 340SC or a 340PD? I'm seeing that some don't believe is very concealable, what are your thoughts, paddle or belt?

not sure if it will accommodate a 340 SC or 340 PD... But I love it on the belt. I carry a s w 38 special air weight fits perfect

I am not sure on the weapons. I prefer the paddle. With a jacket it is concealed well.

This holster is one of my favorites for function and fit though not very concealable. The belt slide is certainly tighter to the body than the paddle. This holster will not accomidate a 340 as it has a shrouded barrel and is longer than. 38 J frames. My 642 and 637 are right at the end of the holster. Those barrels are 1.875 in length. The 340 is just over 2" . My thoughts are, make sure you're buying model specific products when it comes Kydex, plastic, or fiberglass molded units.

When you wear this holster as designed, the paddle goes inside the waistband and the holster is on the outside of the pants. Your belt should be very snug to keep the paddle secure. Some people make the mistake of placing the paddle between the belt and the outside of the pants. Bad idea because there is a good chance that there will not be enough material to prevent the holster from pulling out with the pistol when the pistol is drawn. If this happens, the results could be tragic.

Yes, with the paddle holster. You'll need the glb2 paddle, it holds the s&w; mp 40 and glock 23.

A paddle holster can be taken on and off pretty easily if you need to because it slides down over your belt/waistband. Abelt holster requires running your belt through it and won't come off unless you take off your belt. I've been using Fobus paddle holsters for years and never had a retention problem and it's my go-to holster for every gun I've got.

I do know that I carry the s&w; m&p; 9mm standard 4" no prob. I believe the s&w; m&p; have same design shape with diff lengths is only difference. Can't have any attachments with holster

It may fit but would not give you the concealment needed. Tight and bulky. I personally do not like this holster. I would advise a pancake holster. Works perfect. Hope this helps

I bet it will be hard to find a paddle holster that has light/laser capabilities. You can find universal holsters for lights or lasers just not in a paddle holster.. But hope you find one! If you do, let me know

Actually, I bought the Double Magazine Pouch, Belt, Glock 9 &40, HK 9 & 40 Sold by BIGFLYSPORTS in 2012 and it did not have the paddle, merely belt loops. What was nice was that it was slightly curved and fit well when placed at hip side. I tried to "re-look" it up but keeps showing the picture of the one your intersted in which appears to be mounted on paddle only but says "belt version".After searching Amazon in Fobus, there is a RP (rotating paddle) version that looks the same for $28.36.Email Fobus for more info.

It is a great holster and the paddle holds the gun for any type of draw. I love it being left handed and not having to take my belt off to remove the holster. it fits over your belt and paddle is inside the pants to add greater stability. The holster works great with the small Ruger LCP.

I keep a ruger LCP in there and it's pretty tight without much wiggle room. Even a slim frame 9mm might be too big. The picture here is deceiving the holster only fits the LCP up to the trigger guard.

After using the Sneaky Pete Holster I'm highly pleased, this is not a small holster and it's great for the PP. I do have smaller Holsters for other weapons. The problem I had previously this is not the greatest for concealment but you can use it for other then concealment. I am pleased on my purchase, I changed my mind from my original assessment.

It is made for pocket carry. I did try the IWB approach and it works. With no way to attach to either belt or pants, I'm not sure how secure it would be. Around the house it felt good. Drawing the 238 was not a problem but reholstering could be if the holster were to shift after removing the firearm. I use IWB all the time and feel better having my holster securely attached to my belt.

Update: Please see my review on 8 January 2016: (JC_N_VA), where I have PICTURES of the very weapon in this holster. I have this holster, and IT FITS WITH THE AIRWEIGHT .38 AND THE SIDE MOUNTED LASER. I have the Insight version. You MUST first modify the holster using a blowdryer. I see that it will not fit the 38 bodyguard with crimson laser--can anyone suggest a paddle holster for that model? S&W; site is ambiguous on holsters

I have a S&W; M642 with CT as my EDC. I use this holster more when I'm wearing jeans or slacks and want to ensure no signs of carrying. Otherwise I use a smartcarry. Don't leave home without AMEX and a snubby.

The holster is a paddle type. For a concealed carry it is great. Holds my 9mm SCCY nice a tight against my body.

I just got my holster and I really like it. I put my twin 9mm S&W pistols in it. They are full size with 4 inch barrel. The keep that snapps the pistol in is ajustable to hold different size pistols.
