Recommend a good J frame pocket holster

The $9 Blackhawk from Walmart works for me.

I have a couple Simply Rugged pocket holsters for other guns, they are built for that gun. I bought a Galco, cause they had it at the store I was at. I haven't carried it alot, so dunno.

A SR may be a better fit, and take up less room in the pocket.

Do you want it to be pretty or do you want the best? Answer: MIKA!!!

 

[RacingSnake]

Seems the Mika is very popular. Do you guys not find them too bulky?

I haven't tried one but they do appear to have a lot more material than a leather pocket holster.

Wife made this corduroy holster for me a couple years ago, in my pocket every day.

They're not too thick. And they're a lot better than any "hard" leather pocket holster I've tried. They're a little bulkier than the thin "suede" type holsters but they also stay in your pocket when you draw the gun. I won't buy any other pocket holster after getting my Mika(s). Only problem is that I had a black one and I fell into the Swift river in NH and the dye bled through the pocket of my khaki pants.

Thanks Lawman

This photo gives a little better angle on how thick they are, or should I say, aren't.

This next pic shows the area where Bob puts a thin, flexible, insert
between the layers that helps, immensely, with re-holstering.

I use a Blackhawk #3. It is relatively inexpensive and I bought one until I could decide on which "nice" one to buy. Well, that was over a year ago, and I still have the Blackhawk #3. Works well for me.

I rotate between a uncle mikes and a mika round cut. I wonder if I should have gotten the square cut instead. Think the square cut would look more like a wallet. I relize no one notices the lump in my pocket. Then again the butt is the only part that really prints differently than wallet would. I realize the gun prints a lot more looking down than it does from someone looking forward at me. Always in the search for something new

This thread made me decide to get a new pocket holster...
Got the Nemesis for my Model 60 from Amazon. For my purposes (uniform pants pocket) it works quite well. I like the rubbery surface - grabs the pocket and keeps it all from shifting. No problems drawing, either. For a little less than $20 it was worth trying.

Redemption Pocket Holster

We make this pocket holster for J Frames and the Bodyguard .38.

Uncle Mike #3 or the Galco depending on mode of dress. The Galco seems to work better with light dress slacks and Uncle Mike w/blue jeans or chinos.

 

[lawandorder]

Glaco works for me also.........

............this one has several years of daily carry and is holding up great.

Ryan Grizzle makes an excellent pocket holster. I have been carrying one for over two years and it still looks like new. Gave one to both of my sons as a gift and they are happy too.

I think the best solution is no pocket holster at all. I use two alternate methods for pocket carry. The first is the Barami Hip Grip, and the second is the original Clipdraw. Both of these allow the grip of the gun to be above the pocket, facilitating a quick and easy draw. No chance of a pocket holster coming out with the gun. Alternatively, the guns can be inserted in the waistband; belt or no belt. Cover is provided by a tail-out shirt. I use these quite frequently, even for a short trip to the neighborhood stop 'n rob.

No muss, no fuss. Simple. Effective.

Except for the whole "untucked shirt" thing......

Mika hands down get you one!

Snubbyfan made me an excellent holster for pocket carry with a Native American Motif. Beadwork embedded on "out" side. I love it!

I'm sending him my knife for a Shealth.

Got your sheath done, sending it your way on Monday.
