I have had several different pocket holsters in the past, but I now feel that I have found the perfect match (for me) I carry a S&W model 40-1 (J frame) in a Robert Mika pocket holster. Great combo!!

Just a couple of days ago, I picked up a new S&W 40-1 at my lgs. Despite being a little pricey, I believe it's going to be an excellent carry gun.

Hi to all, Just discovered this forum a couple days ago and was so impressed with the info available that I had to jump in and say thanks for making it all available!! Purchased a 686 no dash just the other day, and was amazed at how much info is on this forum about it. Had no idea about how old...
