Looks good. It appears to incorporate the features I like about the Phlster holster while keeping the holster small. I like the Phlster but it is a little bulky… would be interesting to see them side by side.
Nice review. I’m forever looking for a holster for my large snub N frame smith and Wesson 327PC. Kaos is terrible. Have a simple one that’s leather with a s clip for the pants it’s pretty good. Will see if Harry’s makes one.
I just got the Icon2.0 for my Taurus 856UL. I have not found that the wing has any big difference with my body size and shape, 150lbs, it did make the holster harder to take off. The holster does what it needs to do, like the clip but honestly I don’t feel that for $100 it is all that. I’m not returning it because it does work well and I already own it, but I’m certain that I could have been just as pleased with a $50 holster.
@@justified_edc I'm going to be placing my order for the pistol within the next few weeks and I am just trying to get a good enough holster, for when I drove down to Florida from New York City. So again thank you for your opinion.
@@jeffsnider7842 the biggest limitation for distance shooting on snubbies is the sights. The ditch sight and fixed front post on a lot of them aren’t the most precise sight picture but if you can get a new one with the pinned front sight and can put a dot up front, it helps quite a bit.
Let’s be honest most situations where I would feel the need to ever draw my gun is most likely going to be up close. Long distance shooting is very rare and opens you up to legal issues
@@justified_edc Only those copper JHP expand in that lower speed of a snub nose if the bullet is hitting at 45 degree angle. Most ballistic gel tests on youtube are tested if the bullet is hitting from the most optimal angle. In real world this perfect agle doesn t exist.
@@DonDeMarcoKarlsruhe all I know is Federal Punch 38 has been tested quite a bit by myself and others and does very well for what it is. I’m not really interested in carrying ammo that’s new on the market without much of a track record. Reliably feeding in my personal gun is the most important thing to me for carry ammo.
@@justified_edcHarry’s holsters makes a fantastic product. All of their holsters I have tested, the icon and singleton, are top notch. Customer service is top tier as well.
Thanks for making this video. I have the Icon original and it is perfect except it does kick the grip out a bit causing more printing. I am thinking hard on buying the new version. I am only hesitant because the new model does not accommodate my j-frame's crimson trace laser grip. I also have a P32 and with the 10rd mag, it would win over the J-frame but like you said, nobody makes a quality holster for it. Now if you could get Harry's to make something for the P32, you would have the ultimate EDC.
Yeah I can understand not wanting to give up your laser if that’s what you’re used to. I’ve never run laser grips on my j frames so it wasn’t an issue for me. And yeah I agree that I wish more companies made quality, well thought out holsters for small guns like that. I have a beretta tomcat in 32 that I’d love to carry more as a backup but nobody makes a decent holster for it so it just ends up getting thrown in my jacket pocket if I ever carry it. If anyone could tackle the job of making a good pocket-pistol holster, it would be Harry’s though.
@@justified_edclet me make this crystal clear I am not sticking up for CH6530 on his comment, but if you or anyone else makes a public video you should be prepared for negative feedback, and comment with a professional reply. That’s all I’m saying.
@@justified_edc well like I said I’m not taking his side I totally understand what you’re saying. Anyway I do like the holster but I personally can’t buy it because it’s not compatible with my Crimson Trace laser grips but I do really like the grips on the J-frame in the video.
@@almightymachine9930 1) I don’t believe you that a foam holster with a little bit of leather in the outside to look fancy actually stays open enough to reholster under the pressure of your belt while IWB 2) kydex is only uncomfortable if you’re fat, I literally carry a Glock 17 with an X300U in a kydex holster AIWB daily and it’s fine
It’s clear that you do your research and your passion for this topic is admirable. So proud of you and so deserving ❤
Thank you so very very much for your kindness
Excellent J-frame holster. I mostly carry my 442 in a Safariland 25 pocket holster, but when I do carry it appendix the Icon 2.0 is top-notch.
Absolutely!
Excellent video, I was trying to decide between the Harry's holster and the Phylster and you sold me on the Harry's.
Glad I could help, it seems like a lot of people enjoy the Phlster as well but the Harry’s is definitely my preference
Most comfortable IWB holster outstanding quality and the little things that make the difference.
100% agreed, it’s probably the most well thought out holster I’ve ever owned, period
@@justified_edcwhat is the brand dawg
I canted the monoblock on my Icon for my LCR which I carry at 3oclock and the wing still functions as designed.
That’s great to hear!
Great a snubby holster with a claw. Great review
Thanks for watching!
Agree 100% with you about the printing. My new LCR in .357 does it badly.
Love the Icon 2.0! Solid video!
Appreciate that! It’s definitely my favorite revolver holster out there

I probably won’t buy one just to compare but if I can find someone who has one and wants to loan it I’d be happy to do a side by side comparison
Which Phlster model were you referring to?
@@bmaxse city special.
Great review. Been researching holsters for a while today. Looks like this is the one. Ordering now. Thanks.
Awesome! Happy to help 👊🏼
Very thorough review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! 👊🏼
Wish they made one for the Ruger Sp101
That would be cool, maybe down the road they’ll add more models to the lineup
Nice review. I’m forever looking for a holster for my large snub N frame smith and Wesson 327PC. Kaos is terrible. Have a simple one that’s leather with a s clip for the pants it’s pretty good. Will see if Harry’s makes one.
Have you tried the hamre forge clip grip boot grip? It’s amazing too. But obviously not good for sweaty days so a holster helps.
I haven’t tried one yet but I’m very curious about them. I may reach out and see if they’re interested in me doing a review on them
Just an update: they are sending me some of their clip grips for review!
I just got the Icon2.0 for my Taurus 856UL. I have not found that the wing has any big difference with my body size and shape, 150lbs, it did make the holster harder to take off. The holster does what it needs to do, like the clip but honestly I don’t feel that for $100 it is all that. I’m not returning it because it does work well and I already own it, but I’m certain that I could have been just as pleased with a $50 holster.
If the wing isn’t doing anything for you, try adjusting the ride heigh of the clip to be more in line with the wing.
Make a holster for the smith and Wesson 327 snubby performance center please
Fantastic review! I'm waiting on my Icon 2.0 to arrive. New sub.
Thanks man! Hope you like it 👊🏼
Awesome setup nice revolver
Thanks man!
My preference is leather or suede holster, Sticky holster works as well, but NO Kydex for me personally
I’d love to hear your thoughts as to why. I pretty much exclusively run kydex now
@@justified_edc
I simply think they are uncomfortable, I have worn and returned them all. For deep concealment I use Smart Carry holsters as well.
What kind of quick strip is that you showed
That’s a Neomag RASC, there’s a link for it in the description 👍🏼
I like mine well enough that i wish that he made models for more models.
@@lawriemountain I think they’re planning on doing more models in the future. Not sure what the timeline is though
Thanks for the video, you think it would fit the SW MP340 J frame, either way appreciate your opinion, Thanks
@@mchoch4576 I’m not sure off the top of my head, but they have a full list of compatible guns on their website

Snubbies excel in close-range situations. They are the best tool to get you out of, shall we say, entanglements.
They definitely still have a place in modern CCW that not many people seem to appreciate
I can hit a 2x2 metal target at 115 yards with my LCR .327 FM 4/6 average. Snubbies only have 1 limitation and it is not the gun.
@@jeffsnider7842 the biggest limitation for distance shooting on snubbies is the sights. The ditch sight and fixed front post on a lot of them aren’t the most precise sight picture but if you can get a new one with the pinned front sight and can put a dot up front, it helps quite a bit.

@Justified EDC any thoughts on Barami hip grips with Tyler T-grips?
Never used them
PRICE ???
Links are in the video description as always
Harry's Icon 2 is the best for the J frame.
@@lawriemountain 100% agreed!
@justified_edc i carry an Icon 2 everyday for work, and ordered a lefty that I'll start working with when I get home. Mexican reload here i come.
@@lawriemountain hell yeah that sounds awesome

The only problem is that it doesn't work with lasergrips.
