Model 36 - carry holster

[chief38]

After 37 years of carrying a 2" Chief Special Revolver, the #1-best holster I have found so far is the Kramer Belt Scabbard in Horsehide. Along with one of his Horsehide belts and cartridge carriers, its an unbeatable combo for me. When I dress a bit lighter, or when the mood strikes, the DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster is hard to beat. I have a closet full of holsters for this particular carry gun (at least 30 - 35 holsters) and even including the ones I have had custom made by Milt Sparks & Bruce Nelson, I will still declare the Kramer rig #1.

Most of the time I carry in a pocket holster, though every now-and-then but especially if I'm doing any amount of driving, I use a crossdraw holster made for me by Tom Dyer at Saguaro Gun Leather. I like his work and I like him.

Thanks again for the replies. The info on all the options is great. I am checking all the leads. I believe I have found what will work for me. I am saved of alot of trial and error. Thanks again, Bob.

Check out Dillon's Mitch Rosen leather pocket holster. I've used it for two years now. It is wet molded and rough side out.Very reasonably priced at $50.00. TC

You want a custom made in America (Alabama) by an American (from New York) holster for a M36. This is what I use:

J.W. O'Rourke Leather Products -- Holsters, belts.

I have a Model 36, 5 shot, stubbie that I may carry conceled. Any good holsters or ideas for carry will be valued. Thank you, Bob

Bainchi md 100 pro iwb is what i used for my 637 snubbie. I loved it and took a lil to break it in but was worth it. I could carry it out of sight or with my shirt tucked behind it. Also cover the trigger nicely imo. hope that helps ya

Last time I saw an Uncle Mike's PH it was made in Vietnam. No thanks. I'm done with "Uncle Ho".

THANKS for the info, I am done with them.

I just went with simply rugged holsters and have heard they are great, but don't have first hand knowledge!!!

When I carry my 638 it's in my pocket in a Galco Pocket Protector that I got direct from S&W (and it has the S&W logo on it).

The Model 60 snubbie (just like the M36 except it is all stainless) is my 24/7, everyday carry.

Always carry it in my right front pocket in a Bianchi "Pocket Change" holster. I've tried Uncle Mike and a no name "rough out" leather, but the Bianchi is my favorite.

I guess I've been using this particular holster for about six years now, every day. You can go all day and forget you are pack'n.
