I have three holsters that I use with J-frames.

Most used is an Uncle Mike's pocket holster.

Next is a pocket holster made by Wild Bill's Concealment Leather. It's too big for my pants pockets so I use in a coat pocket.

A more recent acquistion is a Galco IWB holster. It works very well with my M60, but I haven't used it too much. Pocket carry is just so easy compared to messing with belt loops and another shirt, or jacket, to cover a gun on the waistband.

Mika pocket holster or a Siver Dollar Pancake from Simply Rugged Holsters. Both came recomended by users of this forum.

After trying many systems, I have weeded things out until I now use the Mika pocket holster for concealed carry.



When you first get it, it seems bulky, but within a few days it conforms to the gun and your body and pretty much disappears.

It is not rigid enough to rub on you or project bumps, but is stiff enough that re-holstering is very easy.

On top of all that, Robert is a "super" guy to deal with and I highly recommend him.

I generally carry an old mdl 36 in mine with standard S&W grips and a T-grip adapter. It's been there so long that I don't feel dressed without it.

There are fancier and more expensive holsters but no better ones for the money.

I agree with the the Simply Rugged pancake holster too.

I use one of them when the belt carry mood strikes.
Another quality holster for the money.

Mine is the Galco SSS (Side Snap Scabbard). It's quick on/off without having to un-do your belt.

OK, thats a great holster. I assume its the exiotic or whatever they call the non-cowhide holsters.

My favorite by far is my Galco SOB. The gun just vanishes (except when driving).

My experiences, most of which have been unhappy, relate to me not being able to guess beforehand if I like a holster of if I can use it. I've pretty much given up on anything inside the waistband.

Some other issues to consider: open bottom holsters allow you to use other barrrl length guns. Then new and ugly fiber optic sights tend to hang up in those. Closed bottom holsters somehow seem to accumulate lint, crumbs, and even water if its raining.

I use a Mika IWB and a Mika pocket holster and like them both. My OWBs are from Ray's holsters. Good products at about $45 with the shipping. I have one for my J frame and another for a 3" K frmae and I like them both.

Galco CON158 for OWB; Galco UDC158 or Active Pro Gear 11-42 for IWB.

My M60 and 642 love each holster.

Be safe.

I really like this OWB Askins style from Blackhawk. The link is LApolice supply, because that's where i bought mine. If not in a pocket, this is the way to go..

Well . . . my Model 37 no dash blued Airweight resides in my $12 Uncle Mike's pocket holster . . . and it is ALWAYS with me, so I guess it is a winner. BUT . . .



BUT . . . my '64 Model 36 no dash nickleplated beauty is carried in a REAL NICE Mitch Rosen burgundy holster. I got it via a forum member last year.

Nice leather for lefties is hard to come by but man, what workmanship, AND what fit! I've never experience such a perfect holster. (Now . . . if I only could afford his belt! This Ross gun belt is nice BUT . . . )

Here it is . . . photo made tonight, per your request . . .

Pocket carry for my j-frames. Depending on the pocket shape and size the holster is a Mika round, Mika square or Uncle Mike's. DM Bullard's leather pocket holster adds a bit of retention for my around the house warm-up's and pj's.

Great thread;

What I didn't see mentioned here were ankle holsters and surely I can't be the only one that uses one. I have come to rely on my Renegade cozy partner ankle holster. I have tried just about every affordable one on the market and since 1999 have been using the same Renegade I paid 50.00 for. When not ankle carrying I use a mixture of Mika pocket holsters or a local leather maker pocket holster, as another poster stated it really depends on my method of dress as to which pocket holster that I use. I also have a Galco IWB that is popular.

I am stating the obvious here but in almost 20 years of carrying a gun every day I haven't found a more accessible, adaptable and RELIABLE platform than a 5 shot j-frame.

One thing to add, I own several j-frames in different barrel lengths, weights, metals and cost. My most used and favorite is a 637-2 airweight chief special that I paid 120.00 LNIB. I had the hammer spur removed and put a set if vintage diamond RB wood grips on it with a Tyler T grip and it all but disappears in any holster it is in.

My Galco SOB. It is the most comfortable holster for any gun I have ever used.

I am looking for one for my Glock 26 now.

I'm expecting my Mika pocket holster to come next week. For OWB I tried a JMG holster. For $40 you can't go wrong. Hugs nice and tight and is very comfortable. Oh yeah, he puts a sweat shield that extends close to your body to make it even better. http://www.jmgholsters.com/default.htm

Try this Barami Hip Grip. It makes your j-frame disappear and you forget it's there. I'm wearing my j-frame now, sitting in my LazyBoy. I've used these for 30 years or more. They're cheap at around $25. I have three or four sets of these grips. Have never broken one. They are great.

The pocket holsters are either round or square bottom. How do you decide?

The round style fits both round bottom and square pockets. It's the one I use the most. The square style holds the weapon more upright in square and/or oversize pockets.

Robert Mika said a round bottom will work in both styles of pocket, the square doesn't work well in round pockets.

Makes sense.

Check your pockets and see what you need. Mika's holsters are inexpensive enough to get both.

After several major brand name holsters, I've settled instead for a "hand made" holster maker. My latest J frame holster took 2 weeks delivery time. Here: http://www.gun-holsters.com/h_pages/..._revolver.html

When I had mine, and after next week when I get another one, I use a pocket holster or a Galco tuckable.

The round bottom works a lot better for a front pocket carry.

My Model 60 often resides in a leather Galco pocket holster; however, I recently broke out my Bianchi 9R Agent upside-down shoulder holster, and have been using it almost exclusively for the last few weeks. It is far more accessible if sitting or driving, and is still comfortable.

I'm with s&wchad; get the Kramer Pocket Holster in Horsehide. Very comfortable to carry and very well concealed. Drawing is smooth, quick and holster alsways stays in my pocket. Kramer is in WA state. http://www.kramerleather.com/

I must have at least 5-6 J-frame holsters; the Kramer is the one I carry.

My 2 favorite J frame holsters; Like 310 pilot, I use a vintage Bianchi agent inverted shoulder rig. I have worn it on 3 cross country Jeep trips to Colorado and have never had a problem with it. The Renegade ankle holster is, in my opinion, the most comfortable ankle holster made. I lost mine to a friend who is visiting the big sandbox.

I find I like the deSantis Thumb Break Holster. Positive retention with a tensioner and strap. I am active and I'll not have the weapon bounce out while I'm about. I have the deSantis for all my carry handguns, with the exception of the LCP.

My wife uses a deSantis Pocket holster for her 642. It has alittle hook cut in to help with the draw.

I really like my Safariland it fits my 642 with laser grips quite nice. I use a cross draw motion and the ability to cant the holster makes that much more feasable. Thanks Larry
