I carried my 637 in a leather pocket holster until I notice corrosion on the trigger guard. I bought it because I thought it would resist sweat, but apparently not.

Since there are numerous choices of J-frames, a guy really needs numerous choices of holsters to carry them in. Guess you can probably guess, I prefer belt carry and quality leather.

I rotate, depending on the weather (light-weight or heavier clothing) and situation...P-365 (.380) or a P-238 or a S&W 632UC. Carry each of them in Alabama pocket holsters.

When I can't carry a gun, I pocket carry a J Frame alloy Bodyguard. With a pocket holster, Galco leather. The sights are hard to see, but it is better than a stick. And it WILL shoot, one just has to really work on trigger/follow thru. 
I have been carrying a model 38 in a uncle mike's #3 in my right front pocket for years. In today's world it is best to be prepared for the unexpected. On a side note , I hope that I never have to use it. GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

Stainless does not mean rustproof.
Back in the 1970s we had lots of cops who thought the stainless steel revolver did not require care like the blue ones.

My answer is about the same as my first answer a few years ago. The 442, bobbed 37, and 638 are lightweights and one of them is always in my pocket. The 3” 36 or the Stainless 60 are waistband guns. Often I carry 2 J’s. Depending where I go, I’ll only carry one J and add a high cap Nine in the waist.

My daily carry j frame is and has been a model 640 since 2016 or so. I mostly pocket carry it in a Mika holster. I do occasionally carry the 640 on my waist in a Simply Rugged pancake, but I think it defeats the purpose of a j frame.
If I need to carry something more. I use my 1st generation Shield in .40 s&w. My backup in either case is another j frame, a 642.

It seems much of the "fast draw" comments are based on obsessive Internet esoterica rather than a real need for fast draw. This is not the made-up old west of TV and movies. I'm not trying to convert the compulsive and the concealed carrier hobbyists; that's a wasted effort. Who can truly say these folks are as prepared as a purely rational person who doesn't live eat, and breathe potential (dreamed of) gunfighting?
