Concealing a 4" K Frame

[dakrat]

who in here CONCEAL carry a 4" K frame regularly and what holster are you using? Cold weather is upon us and a little bit of printing is fine. I have used pancake holsters in the past such Galco Combat Master. I didn't like wearing it as it rides too high for my short torso build. What is your favorite?

I use an El Paso pancake for a standard 4” M&P revolver and have for years. I do, however, like it because it does keep the handgun rather high on my belt. For that reason it’s might not suit your needs.

When I started my career in 1968 we were required to be armed off duty & it took awhile to save up $85 for a Colt Cobra. In the interim my Colt OP was carried in a belt holster for almost a year.

4" is doable for me..... but I prefer a 3" 66 or 65 at 4-5 O'clock. 5'8" 165

I've got a Milt Sparks Summer Special...... Spegel sq. butt boot grips.


Depends on your dress...... outdoors with a coat/jacket I like a shoulder holster or cross draw....... unzip and grab butt!!!

I sometimes carry a 4” Model 10 IWB in a Simply Rugged Sourdough Pancake with IWB loops. Very comfortable and I can remove the loops and carry it outside the waistband when I open carry it around my ranch.

OWB in an azula and appropriate cover garments.

My K frames ride in a Kramer OWB Scabbard, horsehide. Not cheap solution however.

When I started my career I carried a 4” Model 19 in a Threepersons style holster under a sport coat every day, but it’s pretty easy to conceal a K frame with a sport coat. I carried the 19 in a Galco high ride type holster off duty for a short time, then I got a used Model 36 for off duty.

I use a Don Hume H721 open top pancake style holster for my Model 19 - 4". They also have a thumb break retention strap H721 holster.

K frame carry

I second on the Kramer Scabbard. Doesn’t ride as high as a pancake. Also the Kramer MSP Paddle. I posted photos of a Kramer Scabbard for a commander so you could see the belt loops and construction. If you still want a traditional pancake the DeSantis speed scabbard is excellent.

I carry a Mod. 15, sometimes, and Mod 64 with a 4 inch barrel during the winter months.
Mostly because its nice to carry the gun that I enjoy, and a K Frame is just that.

I have used both an old Hunter holster, and a Pancake style holster, that carries high, and slightly canted to the rear, depending on where I am, and what I am wearing.
Open carry, as well as constructional carry are both legal here, and while I dont open carry. I try to hide my gun, but most times i dont really care if my carry gun shows a little bit..

The primary holster for my model 65 is an original Roy Baker pancake holster. I am talking of a 1970s specimen.

I 19-2 in a IWB Galco suede. 4 is more stable than a 2.5". When I take it out for what ever reason, It is a bear to get back in. Years ago I gave up on L Frame IWB.

The Threepersons is a good holster. I prefer the Sunday holster as it holds position better on the belt. I wear a 4”, N frame just behind my hip.

Check out Nixon Leather on FB. All his work is custom and I've found the prices to be competitive and he does excellent work. I love mine.

4 inch K frame is not easy to conceal, but it can be concealed.

I use a Lobo Leather IWB Belt Loop to comfortably carry 4" K and K magnums. I added the hammer shield (inner and outer) as well as full horsehide options. Very comfortable to carry all day long with a suitably stout belt. Fast to access and easy to reholster one handed.

I use Bucheimer Concealer holsters to carry my 4" Model 10's. Very comfortable to wear and carries the revplver securely.

I use this Don Hume for my 4" K frame. Pretty comfortable once in a spot you like, around 3:30 position for me.
