How do *You* J-frame Carry?

[kmonroe99]

Carried J-Frames for a long time. Currently a 640-1, I carry AIWB with a Lobo Offset.

Pics of my 642 & 638.

Which grips are those?

Thanks

When I carry a J-frame, it is a 642 in a Mika pocket holster.

Got blue bandanas and now red bandanas..... are we about to see a turf war?!?!?

I don't prefer bobbed or no hammer models unless it is a Model 49 or 649 which has enough jammer left to cock but not enough to hang up when drawing from a pocket.

Lately, this one...this way...

Another vote for a snubbyfan original.

Model 649
Front pocket
Mika pocket holster

Similarly, as an LEO,a 642 loaded with Nyclads, in front LEFT pocket in a custom MIKA holster.....

And ALWAYS as a backup. Never as a primary.

Primary being a Sphinx SDP in a JM Custom Appendix carry.

Why EVER carry only ONE firearm?

What if one hand is busy fending off an attack, as I have experienced? Better to have something handy for the free hand.

And since most of us on this forum, have several firearms, why not make use of them.

In my experience, one is often NONE!

Pocket with a uncle's mikes inside the pocket holster.

Many times the pocket is a sweatshirt or jacket pocket as a backup.

Pants pocket for home carry.

Cheap, cheesy and yup , works well for me .
Sometimes hooked in the front pocket .
Sometimes IWB up front ,about 1 o-clock.

I pocket carry a 649-2. For suit pants with vertical pocket openings I use a Mika round; for Levis I use a Mika square; for large pockets I use a DeSantis Nemesis. You will need more than one holster for pocket carry depending what you are wearing.

I grab the grip of that Airweight and hold on real tight!

Model 442 in an Unc!e Mike's pocket holster, or a model 60 in a High Noon leather paddle holster.

642, in front pocket, no holster. Also, occasionally in a IWB holster

 

[message_board_expert]

none

Likewise a Chiefs Special in a Don Hume Just-In-Time belt slide. When I want carry a J frame more discretely it goes into a very thin soft six ounce leather IWB by Kirkpatrick Leather.

I use these ,Uncle Mike's,GunMate & Galco for my snubbies.

 

[MCorps0311]

These are some of my snubbies. The SP101 is a 357 Mag. 3"

Pocket all the way, baby.

Good, practical alternative to holster carry; certainly among the better posts so far. In fact, it may be the best. Shows creativity.

Thanks for kind words , the idea was from my East Texas Blacksmith grand paw , a simple but wise man .

After trying several leather holsters , pocket and IWB that didn't work for me I remembered where and how he kept his S&W handy and concealed .
Wally Mart had a Bandana package , one each in red , blue , green and black for $9.99 and the light went on ... do what the old man did . It works for me , helps with printing and most people "see" a folded bandana ...
Helps keep revolver clean and keeps pocket stuff out of / away from revolver in pocket , which is important .
I think of "bandana carry" as a sort of " Sneaky Pete" thing ...
What you see isn't what it is ... that's sneaky .

I have a night stand revolver also and keep it in a folded bandana , I know it's there but it stays out of "sight" .
