What holster are you using for your 642?

[Bud11]

Ordered one today and plan to get my CCW with it, so I will need a holster. What are you guys using? Never had a small revolver before or carried one before. Have a model 67 currently. Bud

Mika for the pocket and a Milt Sparks Summer Special for IWB.

When not in my pocket holster, in my pocket, I carry mine in a Galco Stinger:

Galco holsters; Holsters; Gun holster, pistol holsters, western holsters, shoulder holsters, leather holster and Glock holsters

Blackhawk leather speed classic. I started using it recently, pretty happy so far. Feels good on the hip and holds the gun securely.

I also have an Uncle Mike's cheapo IWB holster. I mostly use this as a sleeve to protect the gun if I want to throw it in the center console. I have tried it as an IWB, it was ok but definitely worth what you pay for it.

I carry my 642 in a Wraith IWB holster by Seth's Gun Leather. It's about as close to perfection as I'm likely to get as far as IWB holsters, at least for me. I had them customize it with a lower ride height so the cylinder is more directly under the belt. This helps with comfort and stability, IMO. Yet it doesn't interfere with getting a good grip on the gun. It also has very good retention balanced with ease of draw. It pulls the gun butt in tight, too.

Galco Concealable. Mika round cut pocket holster. Gazelle IWB. Those are the ones I've been using most.

Ditto except I have a Don Hume IWB.

Hard to beat lobo gun leather for price and quality. Ray's pancake is a perfect rig for the snub...

For my 442, either on the ankle (BUG) in a DeSantis Apache, or in the pocket in a cheap Federal Holsterworks pocket holster.

This is what I've made for myself...pocket carry or OWB...

This is what I've made for myself...pocket carry or OWB...

Very cool.

 

[corpulent]

I've been considering the Lobo M-1 pancake.

Does anyone happen to know if it fits with Crimson Trace grips? It looks like it would be fine. . .

 

[TACC1]

corpulent,
Just let Lobo know what you've got, he can handle it.
Mika for pocket, and either Lobo or BelCharterOak for IWB. I got one
from each and I can switch if I want....'cause they're both great!
Can't beat the prices on any of the three!

A pre-Galco by any other name............(*******)

Here is my M&P 360 in an original ******* highride. I love the very high carry it offers. I wouldn't get rid of this holster for any amount less than would make both me and the offer-er look stupid. I use a D.M. Bullard out of Azle,TX for pocket carry.

Uncle Mike's pocket holster or Don Hume Jit Slide for OWB

 

[Jack-642]

I use a DeSantis - Cozy Partner for IWB, a Galco - Wraith for OWB, and a Galco - Front Pocket Horse Hide for pocket carry.

 

[russp1]

My 442 is OWB in a Blackhawk Speed Classic, my wife's 642 IWB in a Remora.

Don Hume JIT slide

Uncle Mikes pocket holster. I have no real need nor desire to carry any J-bird IWB or OWB, but I got a simple inexpensive Bianchi 6 just in case.
