Carry a J frame IWB?

[ab4ka]

I've been carrying my 638 in a pocket holster, but today I picked up a IWB holster in a trade and really liked carrying it there. It was very comfortable as well as it was nice to have my pocket back. Anyone else carry a J frame IWB?

All the time, at around 3:30-4 o'clock. I ordered this holster from Side Guard holsters last year and love it (post a pic every chance I get)

All the time..I hate pocket carry...

 

[The Big D]

Though I own a pocket holster it's rarely used.

I prefer strong side belt carry. It's split about 50-50 beteween IWB and OWB. FTR, it's customarily @ 3:30 position.

Be safe.

occasionally

I appendix carry J frame size guns by other makers when the situation dictates. I prefer a big service sized revolver at 3:30 if possible. The bigger guns shoot better and hit harder, but are more work to pack. To me the trade off of convenience is worth it to have the gun I would prefer to have if the SHTF. A J will be the BUG in the weakside front pocket.

If I am wearing sturdier pants (jeans) I like a pocket holster, but if in dress slacks I use Galco's tuckable IWB holster.

When I carry my 642, it tends to be in a pocket holster. However, I do have a super nice Brommeland Max Con V for my 642 that I got at a very good price. I carry with that when I can't/dont want to pocket carry, but can't conceal anything bigger IWB for whatever reason.

Uncle Mike's #36 nylon holster, usually at the appendix. Sometimes I push it around to behind my hip bone. Either way it is very comfortable, been doing it this way for four years. I've tried a half dozen other holsters and keep coming back to my $12 Uncle Mike's.

Appendix carry with a J-Frame is what I carry 90% of the time. I will also carry a second J-Frame as a BUG in an ankle holster. Never liked pocket carry at all.

When I'm wearing a cover garment, I usually pick a bigger gun for IWB, like a K frame or SIG.

The rest of the time it's a J-frame in the pocket.

I do carry IWB on occasion with a J frame but I do prefer carrying in that mode using a gun with a longer barrel. The j frame always seems to feel as though it is trying to ride up above the belt. Pocket carry is my preferred j frame carry mode.

Like stoneman I carry IWB in a Side Guard Holster 90% of the time. My pockets are for cell phones, change,knife,etc.

J-frame in Rt Front pocket ALWAYS.

[jframefreak]

I carry my 640 IWB in a Kramer holster. That's where it rides 90% of the time. The other times it's in a Don Hume OWB holster.

 

[Tracer_Bullet]

I have carried J-frames IWB at either 4:00 or crossdraw. I find crossdraw much more accessible if I am sitting or driving. IWB is about the only way I can carry one with a 3" barrel, but 2" barrel J-frames are really handy for dropping into a pocket or ankle holster as well.

 

[elcruisr]

I work in a shop environment all day and carry a J Fame in a K&D Thunderbird IWB. I also have slightly extended aftermarket grips. I can also pocket carry but prefer IWB.

 

[safearm]

I can carry a 637 in my pocket all day, but a 940 seems to drag my pants down. More often, I'll carry the 940 in a Bianchi 100 IWB and leave the pocket and ankle carry to the Airweight.

 

[jframe]

I can carry either way, but I usually carry one in my left pocket. I'm a southpaw, so this works for me. My problem is that I have to wear a cover garment to carry IWB, and this isn't always possible. I try to make sure I wear jeans that have enough pocket depth to them, so that the butt of the revolver doesn't stick out. I've got a Don Hume IWB than works very well, but I just don't use it much.

I carried a 36 or 37 for many years in the appendix position, either with the Barami Hip grip or a cheap IWB holster.

I now prefer my 442 in a Mika pocket holster.

I carry a mod 49 IWB if my pockets are too small. It has rubber bands wrapped around the wood grips so it doesn't fall down my pants leg.
