FAVORITE J FRAME HOLSTER

[crazyphil]

My J Frame is a 642-1. I carry inside waistband (IWB)
occasionally, crossdraw when driving all day, and ankle
holster rarely. Most often I carry outside the waistband
(OWB) at about 4 O'Clock. I like a high-ride pulled in close.
Usually covered with an untucked T shirt.
Here are some of my favorites:

At Left, Black Hills Shark on a Crescent Shark belt, Piranha knife,
Bianchi speed strip, Barsolino hat.

2nd from left, Chic Gaylord speed scabbard on Michaels "Mirage"
belt, Piranha knife, and 3rd RSM cap.

3rd from left, TJ's faux gator on Culver gator belt. The knife is
by Benchmade.

4th from left, Black Hills lizard trim, Culver lizard belt, Piranha
knife again.

5th from left, PWL (Price Western Leather) re-creation of Chic
Gaylord's speed scabbard on Sparks gunbelt. Spec. Ops. knife
by Smith & Wesson.

PS I prefer black (obviously) with silver gun.

This old Hunter cross-draw has carried a variety of "J" frames for many years. It's still my favorite

Just received this from robbt last week, it's my new favorite now!! It's a vintage Hunter (1950 or 60's) with floral carving.

I like those blue stocks matching your knife.

That is until I make my next favorite.

On a regular basis I don't carry a J-frame anywhere but in my front pants pocket. Since the fire I had to obtain a new one and my LGS got me a Galco Mod-Pro 158B which is a black, soft material, not leather, and works like a charm. If I go to belt carry I switch to a 2" K-frame. I actually have several belt holsters for J-frames (they were not lost in the fire, just not available to me presently) but I just think it's silly to carry a J-frame where I can so easily carry its big brother.

Hopefully a favourite J frame holster is one with performance that eclipses all the rest even if it is a bit plain-looking. Rather than the other way 'round .

Side Guard Holsters Quick Clip IWB. Been using it pretty much every day for probably 6 or 7 years now. A little worn, but still works well.

Gould & Goodwich leather slide. Fell off ATV twice and J-frame didn’t move. Cheap, simple and lightweight. Easy to reholster.

Model 38 with a Remora pocket holster in my right front pocket has worked for me for years.

 

[MetalMan]

I am currently carrying my 2" Model 60 in a Milt Sparks VMII made for my 3" Model 60-15.

I have ordered and am awaiting receipt of a Mika "Waistband" IWB holster for the 2".

I haven't seen reviews of this holster but I already have a Mika Pocket Holster that I'm very pleased with.

S&W revolver in S&W leather...OWB...has always been good for me for years. Model 36, then Model 60, then Model 637 for the + P. Comfortable, "old friend" feel, I know where it is, how it performs (holster qualified at local range) and I am with Red Nichols as posted above...."Favorite?" May not look like much, won't win any BBQ presentations....but I like it, and equally important, I can use it.
