what is your fav. J frame snubby holster

[G.T. Smith]

It depends.............

Around the farm here I carry my 37 airweight in an old Brauer Bros. It rids a little bit lower than the Bianchi 5BH that I usually carry out and about. Sometimes if I have to go to events that frown on CCW, I will use the Uncle Mikes cheapie IWB.

First, pocket holsters. El Paso Saddlery first and foremost. But there are lots of choices out there depending on what you want to spend and what your style of dress is, i.e., jeans versus shorts versus dress slacks, etc.

Next, any OWB belt holster that mimics a Milt Sparks Summer Special - or just get one of those. Galco, El Paso, Milt Sparks, Mitch Rosen, as long as it's top quality leather and has those belt loops you're good to go.

IWB is a little different; I still try to get holsters that mimic Summer Specials, though, from the same folks I named.

I misspoke a little......Summer Specials are IWB holsters. What I meant was a quality leather holster with high quality leather belt loops.

I have two holsters for my Model 49 made by Simply Rugged that are excellent. I would take a look at what they have to offer Great quality, great price.

I just ordered a Galco horse hide pocket holster for those times I don't OWB. Seems to have good reviews, and supposedly you can't go wrong with horse hide. Time will tell....




This Lobo OWB is my EDC rig. It's been awesome so far.




I'm about to pull the trigger on some different grips. Not liking these rubber grips for CC.

I've got me a new favorite. After I made a pancake snubby holster for a client, I just had to make one for myself.

 

[WardenRoss]

Galco +1

 

[Jimmyjones]

My 2 LOBO horsehide offset clips IWB.

I have with and without the hammer shield, I like the hammer shield even though they get used the most for my centennial and humpback. Mostly appendix IWB under an un-tucked shirt this time of year.

 

[UNCLE PAULY]

Bianchi model 55L

I use one of two holsters for my 642 depending on how I carry.

In Summer, I pocket carry, and use an Uncle Mike's #3. Nice and thin, and only about 10 bucks.

In colder weather, I like to carry OWB at about the 4:00 position with a cover garment. When carried this way, I use a Don Hume JIT Slide and it works very well. They run about 25 bucks.

DeSantis Nemesis, mostly. Uncle Mike's #3 pocket holster when the day's pants pocket works better with it. I pocket carry the year around.

 

[M&P Freak]

Lots of good ones in here. My contribution:

Ritchie vertical speed scabbard.

 

[jlanecole]

I usually us a Milt Sparks pocket holster, sometimes this PMK...

 

[TucsonMTB]

Most of the time I pocket carry. But, every time I wear this Safariland Model 568 "Molded Custom Fit Pistol Holster" with paddle . . . I like it even better.

The funny looking, semi-transparent sweat shield was easy to add. It was cut from a thin polypropylene CD case and is sandwiched between the paddle and holster using the original paddle mounting screws. If you don't plan to wear this holster under a bicycle jersey for hot rides in the Arizona, you won't need a sweat shield.

I've not packed a J frame in decades but when I did it rode in a Bianchi roughout IWB.

 

[45A]

Nice craftsmanship snubbyfan. I have used a IWB Targua but seems a bit thick.

 

[Lt JL]

A Renegade ankle holster, or a couple of rubber bands wrapped around the grip, and carried Mexican style. Some other old timers will remember that.

 

[duglasfur]

RKBA Holsters for a great pocket holster that is $45 shipped. I like it the best of all the pocket holsters for a J-frame snubbie. The side facing away is just a featureless, curved piece of rough side out leather.

Foreground is an R Grizzle Leather Georgia Snap holster in horsehide for an OWB option in cooler weather.

 

[Boyd Crowder]

I have a Uncle Mike's Sidekick holster

 

[eyegots2no]

Those Uncle Mikes Inside The Pocket holsters ("ITP") are great but UM started having some quality issues when they closed shop in Idaho and began having them made in Vietnam. The stitching up near the trigger guard was just not right.

I do not know if they ever resolved that.

Blackhawk picked up the location, employees, etc. upon UM's Vietnam endeavor and began making the things that UM had been making.

There were not any issues with the Blackhawk ITP size 3 holsters.

I would lean toward Blackhawk to save you trouble IF you buy one.

 

[mrrick]

Very happy with this.

I recently bought this and am very happy with it.

I put the belt on the outside and it stays firmly close to body.
