I've came up with a pretty good feeling and great concealing IWB holster for a J frame. I wish there was a way to make it smaller. I guess it isn't a problem, but it sure seems big for such a small handgun. What does your IWB look like?

Here's a pic of mine (Kramer IWB clip). The shirt would usually be over the gun. I figure you guys didn't want to see my hairy gut. :)

Wish I had a good one that I really liked. Haven't found it yet, so just stick mine in my pocket and go.
 
I use a $25 nylon Desantis model N87 for IWB of my 642. I've had it over a year. It's well worn but still holding up. I initially bought this holster as a stop gap while I shop for a spiffy leather one. Turns out I can't find a better holster for this purpose.
 
Pardon the crappy cell phone photo, but here's my 642-1 in a Galco "Stow-N-Go" that I use for appendix carry when I'm wearing pants that won't allow me to use my Uncle Mike's pocket holster and my 60-4 in a Simply Rugged "Silver Dollar Pancake" w/ IWB straps.

Given its low price I didn't expect much from the Galco, but I was pleasantly surprised. My biggest criticism is that it's about an inch longer than I need. While it's supposedly made for 2-1/8" barrels a 3" J frame fits quite well; when fully inserted the muzzle is flush with the bottom of the holster. I may find a local shoe repair shop and have them lop some leather off and re-do the stiching.
