Desantis Pocket Holster, J frame snubs are BUG guns IMO.

I carry my 642 in a Wraith IWB holster by Seth's Gun Leather. I had mine special-ordered with a lower ride height so the cylinder is more in line with the belt. Excellent quality, very comfortable, secure but quick. Probably about as close to perfection as I'm likely to find in an IWB holster.
I also just ordered a Quick Clip IWB holster from Side Guard Holsters. I wanted something that was quick on/off but still carried the cylinder in line with the belt. Their holsters are very good quality and reasonably priced.
I believe they're both quoting 2-3 month delivery times.

Speed Safety spring holster worn cross draw or a pocket holster. My Model 37 backs up my Glock 22 at work and my 3 inch Model 13-3 or tapered 4 inch Model 10-5 off duty.

I must have tried dozens of holsters over the years.
Even the nylon ones, which I learned to hate with a passion after they destroyed some of shirts by abrasion.
These are the best I have found. Good old Don Hume Model 715 IWB.
Perfect fit,comfortable and holds it's shape for reholstering.
Price is great too..under $30.
Just got one for my SW9VE too and it fits like a glove.

I use a Simply Rugged Silver Dollar Pancake holster for OWB and a Side Guard Tuck clip holster for IWB. I like both of them a lot.
I've been using a Ritchie Stakeout for a while now and am very impressed with the quality and function. The wife is outta town with the camera, so this picture will have to do.

Pocket - Uncle Mike's pocket holster
Belt holster - my soon-to-be-delivered Lobo Enhanced Pancake Holster with 0 cant
Appendix IWB - clipdraw (universal model - not the one made for the J Frame). I found the universal model holds the J more firmly in place without side to side movement. Pic:

Me, a 442 OWB in a Blackhawk Speed Classic. The wife, a 642 in either a Remora worn IWB or a PistolWare PT2; depends on the wardrobe for the day.

Usually an Uncle Mike's pocket holster. Other times in this Lobo:
Is that a Warwick bass that the gun/holster is sitting on?

Options and chang
Depending on what I wear and how long a day things can vary.
R9 Bianchi shoulder holster. E bay has some for the J frame. Avoid the elastic on old holsters of different makes. Desantis 01 belt holster and pocket holster.
If it is a long day I may switch from belt or shoulder holster to a pocket carry. Have a bag or something available to change out in a rest room. Twenty hours is a long time for any method of carry. I also have a case available for travel where my CCl is not honored.
The J is a 640 Tyler grip adapter and Grasshorn Stags, another 2 1/2 " K sometimes teams up with it in a Simply Rugged custom. Also known as the new York reload.
Having a pair gives more options.

I've used a number of different brands of Pocket Holsters and prefer the Mika's.
Square or Round Cut all depends on the pocket style I'm dealing with.
Because I have a wonky back I stay away from Inside the Waistband (IWB) holsters when it comes to revolvers.
Below is what works good for me.
For back-up purposes (BUG) I use a Glaco Ankle Glove.

I have a few nice leather pocket holsters but they add way more bulk than nylon.

I agree, that's why I prefer the Mika's.
Even with the "thread band" on the exterior, the vlnyl Robert uses for the outside layer & the cloth used on the interior,
the Mika PH still comes in pretty thin, especially when compared to the Nemesis or Uncle Mike's.
