I have used a hip grip with a T grip for thirty five years. The first ones Barami made were right hand only. You had to use the left factory stock. I carried a model 38 bodyguard w/grip as a BUG in an ankle holster, belly band, pocket holster and iwb. I prefered to use the appendix position when I carried inside the waist band. I gave my wife my m38 and I now carry a m638 with a Barami and Tyler.
