Whenever I hear "very high quality holster", Matt Del Fatti is the first name that comes to mind. There is a picture of a sold j-frame pocket model in the classifieds. I've never owned one of these pocket models, but I'll bet they are very nice.

Thumbs up Here's my set-up...............

I've tried several rigs from the Desantis Nemisis to the Galco Horsehide pocket holster. My favorite by a landslide is my Bullard out of Azle, Texas. This is very reasonably priced and "broken-in" when it arrives. It is very closely fit to my M&P 360, but doesn't "hold" the gun when I pull it out. It re-holsters good, also. I think it was around $35.

I have a Rosen pocket holster and like it. $50 and Dillon Precision usually has them in stock.

Leather pocket holsters have two big drawbacks that quickly caused me, after trying a nice one, to go to the Uncle Mike's-style nylon ones:

1. The cost of them is ridiculously high; and,

2. They beautiful molded-to the gun look makes them "print" as obviously as a naked gun in the pocket, which sort of defeats one of the purposes.

I've tried to find one that is flat on the front and releases the gun while staying in the pocket. Haven't found one yet.
