how are you guys packing your n frames?

[donniedee]

just orderred a IWB holster with hammer guard from lobo gun leather looks like a tank of a holster to pack my 27-2 3.5 357mag in with cargo shorts and untucked shirt or covershirt, post pics of how you guys carry your hand cannons around in the summer time, its hot here in texas

The only way I pack my M27 is in the box. Way too heavy, and bulky for me to CCW on a daily basis. I usually carry a 2" M60, but when I feel I want to carry a .357 I will go to my 3" M65 K-Frame. Shoots the same bullet as the N frame, quite controllable with practice, and is a hell of a lot easier to carry. Just my .02 cents.

I have one of those very holsters for my 625 mtn gun, and it also works form my 22 thunder ranch. I carried those in the muggy summers of VA and FL. Enjoy the holster I know I do.

Lobo, with twist: non-snap loops and angled to duplicate the positioning of my weekday 1911 and G19 holsters.

Remora reholsterable no-clip IWB - keeps sweat off my 3" 625 and stays put in my waistband for a very small investment.

I know it isn`t cool ,but I carry a 629 3 inch in a fanny pack.
I`m 66 years old and no longer care about fashion, only function and a fanny pack does the job for me. It also is less conspicuous than a holster and if you really want to hide the fact your carrying ,put a camera logo on it.
One other good thing about it is you don`t get sweat on the gun, and you can carry some spare ammo-not as if your gonna need a reload with .44 Mags.

I have NEVER packed with a IWB holster. Maybe I am missing something? My snubs have always been a front pocket deal. Now that I am retired and ride the boonies a lot on our quad I just carry whatever I want in a holster in my storage box. A couple buddys I ride with carry with a holster on the belt. A few times I might OC with a holster a lighter .38 under a jacket or coat and my buddys dont even know I do. Here we can OC plus I have a CCW anyway. Personnaly, I dont OC much, maybe in the boonies, but I dont like to rub the publics nose with it just because I can.
I do carry a 4" 24-3, a 5" .44 spec converted HD, and once in awhile a 29-2 5" or 4" 25-5. I have two nice holsters that fit them all. I also just bought a new/old ruger 5 1/2" flat top .44 special and think after I work it out that it may become my main boonie gun. Havent took a picture of it yet, but here is the catalog picture. Havent even shot it yet!

I used a Galco summer comfort for a N-Frame .44 4" Cannon. But that was in Texas winter during R&R so I had a untucked hoody. Its not comfortable in a vehicle. but was ok besides that. Honestly found it to hide better than my XD 40 with a small of the back holster.

Amen on that. Of course mine is a 325 Night Guard, which makes it a bit easier.

I just received one yesterday for my 325NG, five days after ordering. I will not be canceling my order for a VMII, but this should be functional. It did ride up a bit after sitting down about 4 hours, and I hesitated to wear it on a 3 mile walk. I will post more on the Remora thread after I have evaluated it for a couple of weeks. At $35 shipped, it is a real value.

I haven't found anything comfortable for my K frame let alone my N frame, too heavy, Dirty Harry I'm not.

Maxpedition gear these days. Can't "pack" during working hours but do handle monies for my business. Easy to pack anything short of a 105mm howitzer with these products. I have two, an "Operator" laptop case (I hate that name) or a Jumbo single shoulder pouch.

EASILY carries a 627 or 1911 with LOTS of spare ammo, knife, light, etc. When driving it gets slung over the passenger seat headrest. Took some practice to get to the weapon quickly, but situational awareness is your biggest deterrent anyway imo and this system works well for me.

On those days I do CCW, I usually carry either a 686+ 2.5" in a Galco OWB pancake or a Colt 1911 in same rig. NEVER got into IWB for some reason, just uncomfortable for me. YMMV.

I have a little too much baggage for an inside the waist holster, so I rely on a Simply Rugged Sourdough pancake holster on the strong side. It fits me well with either my Model 57 or my 3 1/2 inch Model 27-2.
