I got one of those for my 380. Like it a lot. Got mine used. They are expensive new. They do add to the payload in your pocket.

For my M38 the original Renegade Cozy Partner ankle holster is the only way to go.

Kramer pocket holster
Been carrying this Mod 38-2 for over 20 years in this offside Kramer horsehide pocket holster.
How's that old phrase go? "Don't leave home without it"

Great setup you got there SmithNut. Very nice! ;-) I've been wanting to get myself a Kramer Pocket Holster for the longest time. What the H**, I think will order myself two holsters. One for each pocket. I too, pocket carry off-side as well. It's a rarity for me to carry the dominant side, but sometimes necessary.
Having tried several, I settled on the Uncle Mike’s pocket holster years ago. It’s far from fancy, but it works for me.

Here's Mine!
S&W Model 38 Bodyguard Airweight early 80's vintage.
The Hogue grips take all the work out of it. They are not sticky being a hard polymer. They control the recoil beautifully and are easy to get hold of in the pocket. The stock wood grips are smaller but provide no advantage in concealment.
The cylinder is filled with 158 grain LSWC.
Reloads from the strips or the speed loader did not work because of the sharp edges of the wadcutters, so I use round nose or FMC for that.
The Uncle Mikes holster does not work in tight jeans, but I mostly wear chinos. Today it was so hot my pocket and the holster got sweaty.
I put it in the left front pocket and stand around with my hand in that pocket all the time. It comes out first and it is also the fastest draw. After it is spent I drop it and pull the 45 in my strong side pancake holster, as has been taught by Mas Ayoob in his video on the Wilson Combat YouTube channel called "The New York Reload".

Simply Rugged holster.
#1 FAVORITE / POCKET CARRY
My favorite / most common holster is an unnamed horsehide pocket dealio I bought used over the internet. Been using it nigh on 15 years for pocket carry. All the contact points on the outside have been polished to a sheen.
#2 STRONG SIDE OWB
Aker 137 J-2 Bodyguard Revolver Pancake Holster, with the trigger/thumb snap retention. Better & more robust than the Desantis equivalent, which is serviceable.
(I own a Simply Rugged pancake holster for my J-frames, but it is harder to get a good grip on the butt in a hurry. The leather that comes up and gives the gun good protection & retention also retards the draw a bit. Love the construction, though.)
#3 CROSS-DRAW / AOWB
I had snubbyfan build me a J-frame cross-draw holster and it serves that purpose just fine. But I wear it more as AOWB than as cross-draw. (AOWB= Appendix Outside the Waist Band). AIWB works fine for my larger pistols, but the snubbyfan X-AOWB works better for appendix-location carry for a snubby J-frame.
Heh! I have done that in the past.
