Frequently Asked Questions
Will the MD-5 fit my specific J-Frame revolver?
The MD-5 is designed to fit J-Frame revolvers with barrels up to approximately 2.25 inches, including popular models like the Ruger LCR, Smith & Wesson 442, 642, and 340 PD. If your revolver has a mounted light or laser, Sticky Holsters offers modified MD-5 variants built to accommodate those accessories — the standard MD-5 is not recommended for use with attachments.
How does the holster stay in place without clips or snaps?
Sticky Holsters uses a proprietary high-friction synthetic rubber exterior that grips the fabric of your waistband, pocket lining, or holster pouch — no clips, loops, or hardware required. The more pressure applied (such as from your waistband), the more secure the grip. Most users find it holds firmly during normal movement while still allowing a clean, deliberate draw.
Can I use the MD-5 for pocket carry as well as IWB?
Yes — one of the MD-5's standout advantages is its multi-position versatility. It works equally well as an IWB holster, a pocket holster in loose-fitting pants or a jacket pocket, or even as an ankle holster with an appropriate ankle sleeve. This flexibility makes it a great single-holster solution for carriers who change their carry method depending on dress or activity.
