How do *You* J-frame Carry?

[crazyphil]

In addition to the Black Hills Shark Skin pancake I showed previously in
this thread, here are a few more choices for carrying my 642-1, Left to
Right:

A little Chic Gaylord speed scabbard. Back then they made quite narrow
belt loops, so the only belt I have that fits is this old Uncle Mike's Mirage.
The knife, in all 5 photos is a very sharp Piranha.

A Safariland model 16 on a James belt.

A Bianchi Lightning on a Haugen belt. Good way to carry a concealed
hammer J Frame if you want retention.

Black Hills lizard trim on a lizard belt.

A Hunter floral carved on a Carson Belt.

And a few more for carrying my 642-1 with the first three being for IWB,
Left to Right:

Delfatti shark trim IWB on a Crescent shark belt.
The knife is a Kershaw Junkyard Dog II.

Alessi's black Hard Shell Talon.

Garrity's Inconspicuous IWB on Sparks gunbelt.

TJ's black gator high ride pancake on a Culver belt.

PWL's Havana speed scabbard on a Culver belt, and
the Junkyard Dog knife again.

This weekend I carried a Model 60 in the ******* shoulder rig that came with it...Very comfortable, but the devil to reholster.....Ben

Ninety percent of the time it's my 640 Pro in a Lobo Enhanced Pancake.

If I'm feeling a bit more colorful it's my 940 in a Von Ringler pancake.

Rarely it's my "project" Baby Chiefs in a custom made-for-a-Baby rig, shown before its redo in the holster and after its make-over.

In all these posts I'm a bit surprised not to see either a Milt Sparks or a Simply Rugged in the mongst.

Love the Karl Nill grips! What are the grips in #3?
I agree about Simply Rugged - I've been pondering the Silver Dollar for my 640.

442 in a DeSantis Nemesis when I do pocket carry.

Those are "boot grips" made by Craig Spegel.

Since the Baby Chiefs Special grip frame is ⅛" shorter than later Chiefs Specials, Craig didn't have a template for them. He used his Baby Chiefs to create the right size (I sent a pair of grips that perfectly fit that Baby Chiefs so he could get the shape exactly right).

I also sent a $5 Gold Eagle to Craig, and he inset it into the right grip.

How funny.....mine is a RED bandana

I've done that in hot weather. Mine's blue too.

How do I carry a J Frame? Like a boss.

Just an opinion - the SR Silver Dollar I ordered, which was well made, required two hands for reholstering and it's footprint was bigger than I prefer for EDC.

Mostly pocket carry in a cheap uncle mike's holster.

Occasionally OWB in a Don Hume JIT slide or an Azula OWB pancake.

Carried several different J frames over the years my current one is a fantastic 340 M&P night sight no lock. Like all of them I use a sticky holster in my right side cargo pocket. I wear duluth trading flex firehose pants and shorts for work and play everyday. 100% full concealment in an enclosed pocket works great in a less than firearm friendly state.

There are times for me when pocket carry is what works. For those times, I use a Milt Sparks pocket holster.

I tried several of the cheaper options that got very positive reviews. For various reasons, they didn't work for me. I ordered the Milt Sparks and waited. I assumed I could sell it easily if I was unhappy with it. Turns out, it was exactly what I was looking for in terms of comfort, concealment, and pistol orientation in my preferred pockets. What I was not prepared for was the holster occasionally exiting my pocket with the gun.

I learned very quickly that a slight clockwise twist of my hand when drawing left the holster in the pocket every time. With a little practice, this has become muscle memory and is a very natural drawing motion for me.

For times when I want to carry my 442 IWB, I use a Lobo Offset Belt Clip.

442 in uncle mikes #4 pocket holster

 

[66snub]

In an El Cheapo Uncle Mikes clip holster, in the appendix carry position. It's comfortable, super fast in presentation, and also fits my S&W Bodyguard 380. Eminently concealable.

Sometimes in my pocket in a DeSantis Nemesis, sometimes owb in a leather pancake holster.

I mostly carry in an OWB Crossdraw built for my 642 by Robert Dorris, but sometimes, pocket carry in a DeSantis Nemesis.

Sometimes a round Mika, or a square Mika as needed. Some pants require a Nemesis or even Cargo Nemesis. Uncle Mike even gets the occasional call.
