Default Pocket holster for Model 60 3 inch

Hey guys, I’d like to get a pocket holster for a 3” model 60. I would like a remora, DeSantis Superfly, or other similar sticky material, just something lightweigt. It looks like the 3” barrel is a problem for some of these. Which model Sticky holster do you use with a 3” J frame?

I swear by the Mika Pocket Holster. Over the years I’ve tried/tested a few but nothing compares. This is my 2” M60 but each is custom made for YOUR gun.

+1 on Mika holsters. I’ve got a few of them and love ‘em. Simple, elegant, and they work!

Yup. You already got the best answer. Mika.

I have a 3" M650 that uses the same Nemesis holster as my 2" M36. It does not protrude the open toe by more than 1/8"

The Mika is my favorite BUT.

Look at kalamazookids 2nd photo. The standard Mika cut hinders getting a grip on the firearm. I trimmed mine down and used nylon thread and a heavy craft needle to resew it. Now it is a great holster. Pocket carry is not a place to tolerate an iffy grip.

My Nemisis got flattened with wear and comes out of my pockets. They are a good holster but I would buy a new one every now and then if it was my daily wear.

Plus, you can either specify a round bottom (as pictured), or a square bottom, depending on how your pocket is shaped.

I have the exact same revolver (M60 2"), and Mika, except for the square/flat bottom to fit my pocket shape.

I carry my 3” model 60-3 in one of Mr. Mika’s pocket holsters. I highly recommend you try one for your 3” model 60.

Have tried many holsters. Kramer works for me.

A DeSantis Nemesis is what I've used for over 20 years. The two guns I've EDC'd have been a M60-7 (2") and now a Sig P365. Pocket carry a 3" and you will need Jeans or pants with deeper pockets. I find LL Bean "Double L Jeans" have the deepest pockets of anything I have found - and the plus is that their Jeans are excellent and wear like iron!

I have found that the Nemesis for 2" J frames also fits a 3" J frame very well. Both barrel lengths ride at almost the same height in the front pocket of my LEE traditional fit jeans. The 2" muzzle doesn't reach the open toe at the bottom, but the 3" just exceeds it by 1/8". Mine is at least 20 years old and maybe they have made some changes over the years.

Thanks for all the replies. I tried a DeSantis Nemesis N38BJ, which is made for a 2” J frame. I love the feel of the holster, and the gun draws really well. My 3” 60 sticks out of the bottom a little too much for me, however, so I am still looking. Is there another model of DeSantis Nemesis that anyone uses with a 3” J?
