J Frame Snub Owners: What is your favorite EDC Holster?

[usmcsgt]

I pocket carry and it depends on what kind of pants I have on. For suit pants I use the Mika round; for Levis the Mika square; and for large pocket cargos I use the DeSantis Nemesis.

Yep, Mika is the best pocket holster for a 2 inch, have worn one from him for past 15 years, just ordered two new ones last week from him - he's getting up there like all of us and don't know how much longer he will make them. He's former LAPD as was his brother- very good guys.

Mika Pocket Holster with my S&W 342 right front pocket, after about three minutes , it just disappears.

I have 3 different ones I like but seem to carry the 1791 leather IWB the most.

Yes, all the Bianchi leather is now "Hecho en Mexico". And no longer the high quality it once was when it was made in the USA.

There is a company in San Diego named Triple K. Not KKK, Triple K . It's a family business, their name is Krasne. They've been making holsters for quite some time now, and their stuff is all made in USA. I've gotten several holsters from them and their stuff is of very good quality and priced quite well. They have very good customer service as well. They've been doing police equipment in California for quite some time. I think their products are easily as good or better than Bianchi. They also do grips and magazines for a huge variety of guns. Lotsa weirdo grips and mags for stuff I ain't ever heard of.

I agree. Humpbacks are da bomb.

Model 60 no dash with a Desantis Nemesis pocket holster in the front pocket of my blue jeans. I ALWAYS wear blue jeans. If not wearing the jeans it means I'm going to court, a wedding, or a funeral. I do my best to avoid all three scenarios.....

Grips on bottom gun are super. Where'd you get those?

How does that ammo carrier work - looks like a moon clip? Does it hang from your belt or what?

 

[Long2guns]

I use all three of these DeSantis products for my 642; the pocket holster is fantastically handy for hot weather. Ankle and pancake holsters were issued to me 20 years ago, and they are still in use daily.

+1 for the Lobo Enhanced Pancake. I have one for J frames and one for a 3" K frame, both of which are very solid. Although I have also been very pleased with the Don Hume H721 O.T. (Open Top) belt slide pancake holster. It's not as elegant a design as the Lobo, but is pretty much immediately available at a very reasonable price.

 

[KenTheHunter]

I carry my S&W 49 in an old Galco pancake holster.

Bianchi Remedy OWB and a pocket holster

Smith & Wesson J Frame 442 642 637 IWB Holster - USA Made - Fits S&W Revolver 442 642 637 - Klipt IWB Holster by Blade-Tech Holsters, Inside Waistband Concealed Carry (Right Hand) https://a.co/d/fD9N34S

I really like this for IWB. The clip is off-center at the narrowest part of the J-frame. Smart design.

Just a question of curiosity here ...

What is your favorite everyday carry method & holster?

As for myself, hands down, I love the (front) pocket carry method & holster. Certainly, my Scandium / Ti 360 PD makes it an obvious choice due to its ultra-light weight and compactness.

Albeit, my S&W 360 PD has an exposed hammer spur and you would think it's a hindering feature for pocket carry, but I have overcome this issue through daily training and drilling myself to death to block the hammer spur with my drawing hand's thumb.

As a result, I now have a draw that is smooth and consistent; however, I do believe that a well-designed holster will help mitigate drag and enable you to have a smooth draw.

My favorite holster is the Mika Pocket Holster. It works extremely well as there is virtually no hang-up when drawing the spurred revolver from the pocket. I am probably the in the minority here, as I prefer the SA/DA snub over the DA-only snub. There are many reasons for this, but I am sure that I am one of the very few who do.

I carry a 638 in a Mika. Works quite well

I carry a 637 AIWB in a Harry's Holsters Icon 2.0.

S&W 442 Airweight in an IWB made for me on probation 40 years ago. Still works.

What manufacturer is the moonclip holder? Do you know if they make a similar holder for speedloaders?
