Question Daily Carry of a Model 39

Does anyone here actually carry a M39-2? Has anyone used a Remora holster for this pistol and found it to be a good solution?
I know I'll want a good leather rig but I'm looking for a convenient "slip in and go" carry option as well.

I've foung I like the clipless soft side style as an alternative for my J-frames, but will one of these stablize the bigger pistol and keep it in place when running around the farm yard or going to the barn for chores?" Hopin' I can learn from your experiences...

Lots of the Model 39's out there, and lots of folks carrying them (if orders at my shop are any indication). My old Model 39 probably sees more use in the holster shop than anything offered by any gun maker in the past 20 years.

I carried a Model 39 while dressed in a business suit for 20 years...no holster, just tightly tucked into the waistband, Never had any problems, but I don't recommend it for all. It depends on your activity and build. It's a great gun!

Default 39's

Carried a 59 for years concealed.....basically same gun, just more rounds. 39's are no problem to carry as I have carried full sized auto's 1911's, Brownings, Smiths, Sigs, Beretta 92's and N frame Smith's for 40 years concealed. Right holster, right belt, right clothes....good to go.
