Currently 36-1 in Bell Charter Oak Chicago Rocker worn cross-draw. May go with same maker Summer Heat for t shirts and really hot weather. The Rocker does conceal with guayaberas and polos.

Use the desantis pocket holsters for the 638 and P-32. May pick up an LCR and try with cut down Uncle Mikes #3 pocket holster.

Don't know how the leather will hold up in the dog days. Lefty Lewis' work is superb but the Rocker doesn't have enough of a sweat shield. My 36-1 was refinished in matte however so rust shouldn't be a big issue.

Summer carry is my 60-15 in a Milt Sparks VMII Horsehide. As the holster is typically carried directly against my body during warmer months, I find that the horsehide construction does a good job of minimizing sweat penetration. I am so happy with this holster that I currently have another on order for my Kimber Ultra Carry.

All of this being said, I'm still pretty anal about wiping down the gun daily with a Rem-Oil soaked rag.....

2016 era 642-1, Altamont grips, tyler-t grip in a SAS Custom Holster for aiwb carry. I cannot stress how much I LOVE this setup for the 1 - 2 o,clock carry position.

2010 era 642-1 in a Aholster.com pocket holster. This is my next favorite way to carry my J's.

Put them both together and you have a damn fine carry regimen.

The summers in S.C. can get hot. I usually appendix carry my 649 or M60-9 in a horsehide Lobo clip AIWB. However when doing work outside this setup means a sweat soaked gun and holster in no time. If I am in town I switch to pocket carry in a Galco horsehide holster. If I am at the farm, OWB is the order of the day. l need to get a nice leather field type holster for the M60.

Speaking of J Frames, does anyone else feel their draw speed suffers when they switch to any grips beside the "Magna" style? I also think switching to an autoloader slows my presentation. I must be old and soft in the head.
 
Same way I always carry them-

-in a sticky pocket holster for khaki shorts/pants (these pockets conceal it) or my Carhartt work pants (I leave the butt sticking out of the jeans-style pockets for a faster draw, i.e. open)
-Wright Leather Works Predator Pancake open or concealed, been doing this less since my edc is usually my 4" 64 open in an el cheapo Bianchi thumbsnap
