Anyone carry a Model 60?

[Goldfinger]

Wondering what the best or most comfortable IWB holster would be for a Model 60. I'm sure you have your favorite. Let me know. I'm thinking about buying a NIB Model 60 this week and I'm going to need a comfortable holster. I might even consider a shoulder rig if I can find a comfortable one. Leave our suggestions for me.

Thanks.

For one of my J-frames I have an IWB from Bell Charter Oak (look up Lefty on the S&W Vendors site) and I love it. Fits the gun like a glove and disappears when worn.

Front pocket. Never have found any IWB that felt good and I could actually sit down or drive with. Must be my perfect (or imperfect) body.

Uncle Mikes - simple and clips to anything I'm wearing. Since my 60 is more of a summer carry item that often means weaker or no belt shorts. The inside-the-pant has enough grip to stay in place IWB.

all above are good recommendations, personally every firearm that I IWB gets a MS VMII.

I love my Model 60 and especially now that the weather is scorching hot. I have a IWB Safariland holster and it shrouds the weapon nicely and has enough material to keep the hammer from poking into your sides. I can wear it with a belt or with out as long as the shirt covers your weapon. My Uncle Mike's is also a good alternative that is cooler and more flexible as you bend and move when driving or lounging.

I carry my 60 in a Galco Tuck-n-go. Its an IWB that I can tuck my shirt into. All you can see is a tiny part of the clip that holds on to the belt.

It was about $30ish as I recall. Similar to the stow-n-go, but the clip is hidden, and you can tuck your shirt in over it.

For many years I carried a 36,37 and a 60 with the Barami Hip grip. Tucked in the front of my pants about the 1:00 position we logged many hours together with nary a problem.

My model 60 is my go to concealed carry. Simply Rugged make a great holster that can be IWB or OWB. Can carry all day and never know it's there.

A Model 60 in a Bianchi "Professional"works well for me...

The only shoulder holster I trust is the K.L. Null City Slicker. Very light rig and extreamly comfortable. I am alive today because of that rig.

I use the DeSantis Clip grip on my 438. It is a boot style so you don't need a Tyler T grip adaptor.

The IWB by the guys at Backwoods Leather in Virginia Beach VA are awesome. They use a wide metal duty clip so the holster holds solid. Perfect for a J-frame.

Galco Royal Guard IWB works for me. Or a Desantis summer heat, which is about half the cost but not as nice and sturdy.

A good OWB choice that is very comfortable and that disappears underneath an untucked shirt is the Galco Concealable Holster (CON158B if your are a righty). Wear it a 5:00 and you will forget about that hunk of stainless steel on your hip. Much more comfortable than IWB.

I'm glad to see this thread, for I too would like a proper holster for my sweet 60-4. !0 o'clock position, I,think, so I can get to it while in the car. Maybe not, 'cause I'd hate to give it up for having shot the BG that wanted my wheels.

If you can't find it on Lobogunleather or Bell Charter Oak's site, they don't make it...the one thing you should look for on an IWB is an offset clip to reduce bulk....metal clips or snap loops are your choice...one is easier on and off, the other is a bit more security...

I use this one I got from the Dillon catalog for about $15 if I rember right. It is used a lot for about 10 years now. I can forget its on.

I carry My Model 60 in a Older Desantis IWB Holster No problems with comfort during all day carry,I use Milt Sparks Summer Special's for My other carry guns but I purchased the Desantis used off eBay several years a go for $20

I've carried a model 60 for most of the past four years. When wearing loose fitting pants, I usually carry inside the front pocket (DeSantis pocket holster). I have a set of the original combats grips with a Tyler T-grip. Makes for a good grip without a lot of bulk. I also have a Bianchi "professional" that I use for IWB. I usually have at least one speed strip in my pocket.

BTW, the model 60 (not the magnum frame 60-9) is a pretty good carry gun. Some think it's a little heavy, you will like the heft when shooting. The magnum frame model 60 (60-9) is a great J-frame (I've had one for 16 years), it's just a little longer. It's great for IWB carry.
