Show Off Your J-Frame Leather!!!
What are you carrying your J-Frame in and would you care to share picures? I'd love to see OWB, non-concealed options you use, but interested in all.
Thanks-

My Model 37 in an OLD Hunter holster from the 1950's,back when their carving was equal to anyone's. It's propped up on a Mika,which is the one most often used.

My 3" 63, alongside, fits it perfectly, too.

Those are all fine pics of holsters and carry options. My standard M60 carry is in a blue jean rear pocket, available in right or left hand. I know... I know... I need a mo betta carry rig for safety reasons.

Wow - some great carry options you all have.
Fat Tom - I'm partial to carving and like the looks of your holster. Whats the back like - high ride, cant, etc.?
Jeff45 - Now that's what I'm talking about! Love the looks of that holster. Add Fat Tom's carving and it would be about perfect!
OK Hog - I'm doing the same as you right now.....
How about everyone else?
Thanks,

hard to decide sometimes!
Around here in the boonies I carry that 37 in that old Brauer Bros. nearly all the time. Traveling, I like that cross draw on the right. Sometimes in town the Uncle Mikes is a good choice.
I like the Brauer Bros. about as well as any J frame holster I have owned. I'm gonna hate the day that It wears out,  Oh well I'll probably be gone by that time anyways
Have a good evening folks!
Gordon
Hey John, recognize any of this stuff? Thank you.

Here are three holsters for a 3-inch barrel 60 Pro that I attached to a recent posting.
The first is an IWB Bianchi #3, the second is DeSantis Speed Scabbard, and the third is a Milt Sparks Versa Max II. All three holsters work with and fit the 60 Pro perfectly. The Bianchi was found on eBay for about $25. The DeSantis was also purchased on eBay - brand new in the package for about $45. Both are very functional holsters and well made.
Milt Sparks holsters are in another league. This one is horsehide and sharkskin and took 6 months +/- to receive after first placing the order. But, it was well worth the wait. I've had three Milt Sparks holsters and each one was a beautiful piece of art.

How long did it take you to get it after you ordered it? I put in for a order on one a 6 hours ago and haven't heard anything back yet. I resubmitted my order just incase it did not get there the first time, I see he has it listed as having a possible 6-8 week wait time.

When I ordered I received an e-mail invoice a few days later. I paid via PayPal. I received my holster about 5 or 6 weeks after that. I remember being surprised that I had gotten it earlier than anticipated. Your order may be different, though.
I'd suggest waiting a few days for the invoice to arrive. However, you may want to contact him and make sure he knows you only wanted to submit one order, not two.

I got my invoice from him about a day or two later. I paid via PayPal, but I contacted him about the cant on mine, and once we got that sorted out, it was almost eight weeks to the day that I received mine.
I echo what CO said, I'd make sure he knew you only wanted one holster, and not two.

Well, no one has posted this combo, so I will. I replaced the OEM grips with Hogue Monogrips that cover the backstrap, and the holster is a PWL 120/TS for the J Frame

Chipmunk - That may be the exact holster I invision crafting for myself. I'm having trouble picturing that at 7:00 - are you a southpaw? I'm a right hander and if I put that at 2:30 or 3 it would be about perfect. Care to share any details of how you crafted it? Love your workmanship! That leather has character! Thanks for the post.

top: Bianchi 55L "Lightning" works great for Bodyguard, Centennial and Chiefs Specials. It's my most frequently used holster.
middle: Bianchi 5BH
bottom: Bianchi 100 "Professional" IWB which also makes a great clip on pocket holster when I wear my favorite pull-over or overshirt.

Galco Summer Comfort or a Mika round pocket depending on dress. Usually the Mika, but the Galco makes a better picture...

My old LAPD off-duty rig. This holster was made for me when I was on probation by a neighbor of mine in Burbank. The 442 inside was also used as my "duty gun" for buys when I worked narcotics. It was shoved into my left-front pocket, sans holster.

All of the photos of your rigs are fantastic! I've been eyeballing various holsters for a while. The pictures of your actual working holster/gun combos beat the stock holster manufacturer photos any day of the week!
