J frame OWB?

[heeter3]

Like Haywood I mainly pocket carry my j's especially in shorts here in Arizona but that said I also do owb,iwb and ankle carry depending on the situation.All are possible and easy with a j and the right holster.

Back a while turnerriver found a treasure trove of Chic Gaylord and
Seventrees holsters, and he let me have the Chic Gaylord speed scabbard.
I carry my Model 642-1 in it very often. On the left.

2nd from left is a black sharkskin pancake by Rudy Lazano at Black Hills
Leather. I like it too.

3rd from left is a little Safariland Model 16 that I also like.

4th from left, when I wear an inside waistband, it is this
Delfatti with a sharkskin mouth.

5th when driving my choice is Ken Null's VAM shown with
my 642-1.

I could only dream of having a collection like that Phil.Again I am amazed as probably are the majority of the people here.

I carry a 642 in a pocket holster only. I'm a fat southpaw and it's a pain in the butt to find a decent owb holster for that or my 19 2.5".

 

[Onomea]

Heck yeah. 640-1 in a Lobo pancake:

I carry a 642 in my right pocket in a sticky holster. In the car I also carry my 36 3" on my left hip in cross draw fashion owb.

This is my rig for my LCR

Probably one of the most overlooked advantages of the J frame is the multiple methods of carry versus other guns.

I carry mine IWB, OWB, and pocket carry. They all work.

When I used to carry my M60-7 I used a Kramer Horsehide OWB Scabbard. IMHO it's the best out there! Now I use a Kramer OWB Scabbard for my Sig P365 along with a Horsehide belt and mag pouch. Just awesome!

My 642 is on my belt most often, freeing up my pocket for other things while being comfortable at the same time.

Sometimes during the dog days of summer here in Central Va I'll carry my 442 Airweight in a plain old Fobus paddle holster (with a shirt thrown over it obviously).

I am in this camp. Mostly pocket carry but depending on activities such as driving will switch to IWB or OWB if working on the farm. Sometimes I am too lazy to open the safe and get out a larger revolver for OWB.

It's hot here right now. I went to have dinner with a friend. J frame went in my pocket. His Glock 17 stayed in the trunk. J frame: always here, always ready.

FYI for you J framers, there is a Ken Null Vampire holster for sale at an excellent price in the classifieds. It's a horizontal crossdraw, excellent for when sitting down or driving. I'd buy it, but my one J-frame is a 640-1, which is ever so slightly bigger than other J-frames, and I am sure the Null holster is a tight fit.

I normally wear jeans. Pocket and IWB just don't work for me. I carry my 642 in a Don Hume JIT. Its perfect for this little gun and conceals very well.

 

[THE PILGRIM]

Sometimes I do.

 

[Old cop]

I pocket carry a 340PD in a Blue Force Gear pocket holster.

 

[cmansguns]

always OWB for me

51 plus years of concealed carry. Model 36, then Model 60, then Model 637-2 for last 20 plus years. Always Smith & Wesson quality leather (when they were made in Lillington, NC). Always strong side 4:00 o'clock on Galco stiff quality gun belt. The combination (1-1/4" Galco for dress slacks/suits - 2" for khaki, blue, black dress jeans). Speed strip in pocket for extra rounds.

Sometime back I came into a S&W M&P 2.0 Compact which turns out to be a real sweet carry gun, and I found out it fits my SafariLand GLS holster (bought for a Glock 21 Gen 4) like a glove, so now I'm trying to practice at least weekly with the 2.0 & Safariland combo to get where I feel really comfortable with the 2.0 as EDC.

Never really experienced any serious printing problems with any of the combinations above.

 

[DevilDog72]

I only carry OWB... J, K, N,1911, Glock, S&W M&P 2.0

442 in Don Hume JIT slide holster, OWB strong side, like several others have reported.
