I have always had great results with the DeSantis Nemesis. So much so I have never tried any other brand.

I carry either a 2" J Frame or an LCR in a Nemesis -- the same holster works for both.
I tried an Uncle Mikes first, but it wouldn't stay in my pocket. Came out with the gun. Kind of embarrassing during CCW qualification.
The Nemesis stays put and works well.

I carry my Model 640 in a Sticky that fits both my casual slacks and my Carhartt jeans. Always has stayed in the pocket, and allows the gun to slip right out. Removing it from the pocket is simply a matter of placing a forefinger alongside the cylinder and it comes out without difficulty. The only mod I made was to notch the upper rim to allow my second finger to contact the trigger guard to allow a positive grip. I recommend 'em.

I carry my 640 Pro in a Remora IWB holster. Once you put it in your pants it doesn't move. When I first got it the only problem was I kept thinking it would fall out of my pants. I bought the one without the reinforced top and it holds tight against my body with no printing.

I prefer the Nemesis. I own two. Wouldn't have bought #2 if I didn't like the first one.

IWB & OSW At Times
I never pocket carry. I live in the Tucson area so most of the year here it's T-shirt and shorts. I needed an IWB holster that keeps the entire gun (including the "handle") from touching my skin. I suspect those who dress in humid climates would prefer this too. For those times I use a N82 Pro. (Don't like having to twist the weapon to remove it but....can't have it all)
For our "winter" wear when a very light cover or when wearing a T-shirt under a sport shirt it's a Comp-Tac Minotaur Neutral Carry holster. ( IWB)
For fast to the store and back home it's the Sticky. (inexpensive)
The Remora is similar but some posters say it "feels like its slipping" but doesn't. I haven't had such a feeling with my Sticky.
I do use a Comp-Tac Minotaur OWB also during our "winter" months at times. Its a pretty close concealment with a short sleeve sport shirt. All of these hold the pistol's grip close to the body.
Always appendix carry except with the OWB Comp-Tac Minotaur. No choice since it's canted with no adjustment. It is my OWB.
Frankly, I don't favor that FBI cant. I feel it was for not "offending" anyone when talking to them in their homes.
I'm a retired detective and that's not "under cover". The public knows we are police and a pistol, handcuffs, spare magazine(s) along with a little larger than the tiny flashlights something always
shows.
Also, I've always felt the FBI cant causes un-natural stress on
wrist, elbow and shoulder for the draw. Appendix and cross draw
is comfortable. (For me)
G'luck and shoot well.
