MP Bodyguard .380 w/ GRN CT Laser: Pocket Holster???

The biggest problem is the laser guard sticks out just a bit further and wider below the muzzle I think, so most stitching gets in the way.

I currently have a Remora 2RA for my bodyguard with the Grn CT laser guard (LG-454-gh). It was pretty tight at first, but after 24 hours of letting it sit, the holster stretched out.

The remora works okay, but it's not as "sticky" as I expected, so I'm not sure if I got one from a bad batch of material or not. I can't pocket carry or keep it between shirt/pants or it comes out with gun. The holster has to be against skin for it to hold. I might order one with a IWB clip, and just keep my current one for when I need to just throw it in the console of the car, etc.

It's also a little thick. I've been trying to find something like the Desantis pocket-tuk, although the bodyguard model "w/laser" (111NAU7Z0) doesn't fit. I'm tempted to pick one up for an LC9, and see if it fits. Or try the versa carry.(I need one that is tuckable)

There are a few online for a bit more. Crossbreed can now make holsters for the laserguards, and I came across this as well: https://clingerholsters.com/product/stingray-strong-side-clinger-holster/

If anyone has any experience with a thinner IWB or pocket with the laserguard, please let us know.
 
Just an update. I ordered a desantis pocket-tuk designed for the LCP with crimson trace. It's holster number 111NAG5Z0.

It works a lot better than the one designed for the bodyguard if you have the green laserguard (LG-454G). It just came in today. The gun is snug and retention is well (takes about 8-10 shakes upside down for it to work free), and trigger is covered.

I will say that it is a LITTLE tight down front and it causes the front site to push out the thin leather at the bottom of the holster. If you were to upgrade to a BigDot or other after market sites, I don't think the holster would work. THe mouth is reinforced and makes the top 3rd flare out. Here's a somewhat terrible pic, but you can see the fit.

I'm hoping that after a bit of wear and break-in that the holster will mold to the gun a bit better and stretch just a tad bit down below. Otherwise it's back to a Remora.

i should be receiving my Mika pocket holster for green laser BG soon. never had experience with Mika, but everywhere i read about them was full of praise... they do appear thicker also but i will post pics when received compared to my Remora (for my PM9). You'd think desantis woulda been on top of making a Nemisis or Superfly for this???

They actually responded to my request. Said that since Crimson Trace never sent them an actual laser, they weren't going to make any. I guess demand isn't high enough for them to purchase a laser, and I don't think there are any model/blueguns that include the laser to purchase for fitting either.

The pocket-tuck for the LCP w/laser works okay, although I do like the feel of my remora better. I'll probably break down and buy a "2-in-1" model so I can have a clip for IWB.

I found I've been wearing my pocket-tuck more as a IWB than pocket carry, mostly due to the cut of my jeans and such.

Let us know how the Mika is, with pics if possible.
 
The Bulldog OWB size medium works great. I just did a 5 day motorcycle trip with no problems.
 
Nemesis used to come out often with the gun. I have a leather pocket holster now with a nice hook and it's much better, but i still press on the hook with my ring finger as I draw to make sure the holster stays put.
 
MP bodyguard 380 w/green crimson laser POCKET HOLSTER

Has anyone found a pocket holster that works well with the M&P 380 Bodyguard with the green crimson laser with the button on the pistol grip question mark question mark question mark???
 
I would contact the manufacturer and try this one if they say it will work. I got this one with my BodyGuard but it doesn't have the lazer. I think it has room for it though... [ame]https://www.amazon.com/Tagua-Remora-RE-4-Pocket-Holster/dp/B00NTIJW2M[/ame]
 
Jackson leather work will custom make one for you with laser, but sounds like you already found one.
 
Still wondering...

Has anyone found a good IWB or pocket holster solution for the Green laser version of the BG?.
 
if it were me I would call Remora. chances are good they will have something that will work.....without breaking the bank.

For those looking for a high-quality pocket holster for the new M&P Bodyguard. 380 with Crimson Trace green laser, hang tight! Uncle George's Holsters is in the process of making one specifically to fit this unit.

For those not familiar with these fine holsters, check them out: Uncle Georges Wallet Holsters

I've had the classic Bodyguard with the integrated red laser for nearly five years, and have always carried it in an Uncle George's holster that I love. I just upgraded my carry gun to the new model with green laser, and was disappointed that it won't fit my trusty holster. Fortunately, George is working to resolve that, I'm test case #1. Once I get mine I will post back.
 
NOW AVAILABLE

The Uncle George wallet holster for the Bodyguard 380 with crimson trace laser is now available! I've been using it for the past week, its great! George makes a fantastic quality product. I'm not associated with him or his business in any way, just calling out good workmanship when I see it :-)
