Default No Pocket Holsters for Bodyguard .380 with No Laser?

Other than the nylon Desantis Nemesis or the ultra loose Uncle Mike's, are there no pocket holsters for my gun? I want a hook on it to prevent it coming out with the gun, which used to occasionally happen with my old Nemesis and 642. Desantis has the Sof Tuk, which may be better, but I've never tried it. I would prefer a quality leather holster. Galco and any other one I have seen only makes them for the crimson trace model.

KBM, are you trying to stay away from wallet holsters?

Yeah. Not interested in shooting from inside a wallet like holster. Just want something not so loose and will stay in the pocket. Prefer a hook type style over the sticky remora holsters.

Galco holsters have the hook. The Remora sticky works well with jeans and shorts but may come out w/the gun when wearing dress slacks. I prefer the Remora b/c the muzzle end is closed preventing pocket lint from getting into the barrel.

Check out 'Big Daddy Holster' and Concealment Specialties'

I have one from each and they work with my M&P BG380 no LASER.

My son lives close by them and has done business with them. I've been in the shop with them and they are nice folks. I've never bought a holster from them, but the ones I've seen in the shop seem pretty well made.

I recall Hickok45 mentioning them in one of his videos specifically about pocket holsters. Said that was his favorite (although I am sure it was an old video).
I checked out the site and they do seem to have a few good different styles for various carry options.

I know this is an old thread, but there is a holster company here in Oregon that makes a wide variety of holsters out of both leather and fabric... Barsony Holsters in Hillsboro, OR.
I have several of their holsters, and every one has been well made and fits the handgun they were ordered for.

Ambidextrous Pocket Holsters | Concealed Carry | Made in the USA

I also get their fabric magazine pouches, with a Velcro flap and belt clip to keep my backup magazine clean when engaged in dusty outdoor activities.

I have, in my right-front jeans pocket right now, a .380 Bodyguard ( no laser ) resting in a leather Ruger branded pocket holster made for whatever Ruger calls their .380 auto pistol.

Fits like it was made for the Bodyguard.

I am carrying my Bodyguard in a leather pocket holster stamped with the Ruger logo that is made for Ruger's .380 pocket gun.
It fits my Bodyguard like it was made for it.
There will be a better selection of holsters made for the Ruger, so shop for one of those.
I will say that about a sixteenth of the barrel and slide sticks out of the bottom of the holster, but it's not a big deal.

Sorry about the double post, folks.

Bob Mika. It doesn't need a hook to stay in your pocket and draws clean. Great quality and very fair prices.
