Appendix carry kydex holster for K frame 2" recommendation

[baird]

Howdy all. I have been getting more into carrying my 2" model 12 and 64 and would like to find a kydex holster that carries fairly low in the waistband. At least for me and my body type that is the most comfortable and concealable.

I have found it difficult to locate a holster like this and would really prefer to see photos to save myself some money. I'm sure we all have made those mistakes before.

Thank you for any assistance.

I would definitely recommend JM kydex they make revolver holsters. The other company I have experience with is ANR kydex but I don’t see they make for revolvers.

CUSTOM AIWB Holster: JM Custom Kydex

+1! I don't carry appendix, but I've got IWB holsters from him for my 3" and 4" K frames as well as for several autoloaders (including the Walther PPS I've got on right now). On another forum I'm active on, there are a lot of folks who carry revolvers AIWB and they're enthusiastic about his holsters. It's a good company to do business with.

CUSTOM AIWB Holster: JM Custom Kydex

I have a fully vertical (no cant) AIWB for my 3” Model 64 from JM Kydex. Seems to likely work well for your ask - the balance point is well chosen, so stable at AIWB. I would describe it as medium low ride using soft loops, but that’s something you might be able adjust a bit.

In my holster, there’s plenty of K Frame grip to grab.

Fine holster but I find the weight of the 3” steel K Frame better for OWB. No reservations about JM Kydex however.

I see their holsters are for 2.5” k frames. This is a problem I see often. I don’t want the extra 1/2” of holster. Especially poking me with appendix carry.

Ahhhhhh Bald1 is right!!! I saw 2” but it was for J frame my bad. I agree I hate extra holster length. I want bottom of holster flush with muzzle with a little fold over for protection. I’m carrying my 686 2.5 inch right now in a DeSantis cut for a 3”. It’s bugging me. Thinking of ordering custom length from Kramer or similar.

They're pretty good about customer requests. I'd email them and ask, they usually respond the same day.
