What are you carrying your J Frames in?

Now, my new Lobo Enhanced Pancake when on the belt:

Desantis super fly pocket holster. Its great. very easy to draw and it never comes out with the gun.

J-frames are for the pocket or for the ankle in my mind.
 
Sometimes pocket carry in a DeSantis Nemesis or one of these.

A 642-1 in a plain old Number 3 Uncle Mike's pocket holster. I've now discovered carrying my Interarms PPK in a Blackhawk! Number 2 pocket holster that is printed with "U.S.A." on the tag. The Uncle Mike's was made in Vietnam. Guess which one may hit the garbage before too long.

Nothing fancy just very high quality. Excellent retention, ride, and concealment.

This thing works great. Does not shift around in pocket.
 
Question for the clip on IWB guys. Have you tried using them cross draw while seated in a vehicle?

Yes, and it seems to work well for me.

I only use IWB and pocket holsters at this point, and the vast majority of the time I use my IWBs cross-draw instead of strong side. I don't know why, other than that's just somehow what I got used to. Also, in my case they seem to conceal better that way.
 
Anybody tried a High Noon Holsters Mr. Softy IWB low ride?

They look pretty good to me and I just ordered one.

I have the Mr. Softy for several guns. The only one I don't like is for the J Frame :(

Mine was too small in the trigger guard area, not allowing the J to go fully into the holster. Hope yours is better. Let us know!
 
For belt carry a Don Hume Jit Slide. For Pocket carry an Uncle Mikes. I didn't like the Nemisis.
 
That looks like a good option. I bought one of those holsters for a snub Model 66 a few years ago and it didn't fit worth a flip (way too tight).

Your comment about the fit makes me wonder if maybe the holster was different than the model number on the package?
I've had 3-4 of the Bianchi's and use one daily. While fairly tight at the beginning I find they will loosen up after a few weeks of carry.
 
For pocket carry, generally a DeSantis Nemesis (size N3) . . . but sometimes the Uncle Mike's Size 3 . . . all depending on the shape of the front pocket.

Both are cheap and neither will hold moisture like a leather holster in a pocket.

For belt carry, the leather "UPL" (Upper Limit) by Mitch Rosen. I bought it used on this forum. What an incredible fit and finish the Rosen has.

I've also got a Kramer IWB but it doesn't "like" my body shape . . . now if I'll just get rid of that "inner tube" around my waist I can wear that IWB just fine! LOL
