I need a very basic clip type IWB holster (nothing too expensive) for my 340PD (also to be used with a few other J-Frames). I want something made of thin material (leather or nylon) that makes the gun sit somewhat lower below the belt line. I have had IWB holsters for some of my autos that sit too high, and as a result the gun can almost pop out when concealing it in the front near ziper when sitting down. I do not want anything that clips onto a belt with snaps or loops just something that I can slide into a pair of pants/shorts. I looked at one by Shooting Systems that looks to fit my needs but am helping for more opinions. Thanks for any opinions.

I use one by F.I.S.T. for my little Glock. Good quality and reasonable price.

Get a pocket holster. Belts are for bigger guns.

Contact Sideguard holsters for a pocket and belt holster.
"TAGUA" makes a great little IWB that won't break the bank...about $25.00. They come in two sizes (Medium & Large). A J-frame seats well into the large size, encasing the trigger and trigger guard. If you want the gun to ride a little higher, then select a medium. These are ambidexterous, not firearm specific, leather with steel spring clip. They collapse when the firearm is removed. There is always one on my pants, off-side/crossdraw whether I have a gun in it or not. The large also accomodates all Glocks and other similar size autos.
As for the advise to carry a primary weapon in the pocket....I will offer this test. Imagine that you are in a location where SHTF. I don't know about anyone else, but the first move I make will be toward cover/concealment. That may entail crouching behind/under something. Try crouching behind an upturned table, bar, etc. and drawing a firearm from the pocket. I shot a course one time and started with gun in pocket, the first cover was a 55 gallon drum. Could not draw without revealing parts of my body that I would rather not have shot. Immediately stopped carrying primary in pocket; it's always on the belt now. Same goes for reloads. Just MHO.
