The Bulldog DLX12 Pit Bull holster delivers secure outside-the-waistband carry for Smith & Wesson revolvers with 3-4 inch barrels. This black nylon holster accommodates the full range of S&W frame sizes from compact J-frames to large N-frames with consistent retention and accessibility.
What Makes This Different
The DLX12 features reinforced stitching and a molded retention system that maintains weapon security without complex adjustments. Unlike basic fabric holsters, the Pit Bull incorporates a rigid internal frame that prevents collapse after drawing. The belt loop design distributes weight evenly across a 2.25-inch span, reducing printing and improving comfort during extended carry.
