I carry a Bodyguard model 38 and have been happy with this holster.

Works very well for me but after about three years of nearly everyday carry, it's been a little hard on the finish. Lost some blueing off the cylinder. The holster is fairly stiff and a little loose. Makes it comfortable and an easy draw but the slight movement eventually takes a toll on the blue.

Takes a couple of days to mold to your gun,
then perfection.
Products Overview Page of Mika's Pocket Holsters

For $10 the Uncle Mike's is pretty good,
but they will wear out. And you can't re holster
like you can with the Mika.

The Mika is #1.

Mika. It's exactly what it needs to be and nothing more and nothing less. The perfect pocket holster. I have a stiff leather holster that is just too stiff to conform to my pocket and it's too hard to get the gun out. The other synthetic types are too bulky. Get a Mika. I have one for my 49 and one with velcro for my 49 that goes into the gun pocket on my motorcycle leather. I've been carrying on and off-duty for over 26 years and the Mika is my recommendation.

I've been carrying a 642 in a Wild Bill's leather pocket holster for about four years and have been happy with it. As with any gun that's been carried a lot, there is some finish wear. I accept that, and move on.
