Now that winter is almost upon us, I need to switch from a pocket carry with my 642, and go to something more comfortable. Was thinking of a shoulder holster. Had one years ago, for a 44 mag Ruger, and liked it quite well.
Any ideas? I read so many posts, where others say they have a ton of holsters in their dresser drawers. Don't want to go thru the trial & error, if I can get away from it.

I pocket carry most the time, but I have tried various shoulder holsters. Of them, the upside-down variety are my favorite (Safariland & Bianchi). I think Ken Null still makes the "CitySlicker" which is similar but plastic.

The Galco Executive is really nice and it's comfortable, but it's expensive. I'm sure there are other good ones, but these are the ones I'm familiar with.

I have an Alessi bodyguard with a pull through snap...great rig, probably the best there is for a j-frame....but I have to say, a bit much for so little gun...
 
The Alessi bodyguard is the best shoulder holster that I've tried, but the Ken Null plastic shoulder holster is easier to conceal under a sweater or shirt.

The Null holster is secured with a clip on the offside and works well with Airweight revolvers. The Alessi bodyguard is much more comfortable to use with heavier firearms than the Null holster.
