How do YOU carry your J-frame?

[TheDogFather]

I carry a S&W 649 Bodyguard. In colder weather, when I can wear more concealing garments, I carry OWB in a Galco pancake holster. In warmer weather I use a Galco Royal Guard IWB. I also have a half-assed non-descript pocket holster that I use occasionally but I don't trust it as much as the two belt holsters.

I have a 442 in nickle that I carry occasionally in perceived-lower-risk situations. Usually I carry an auto.

In hot summer, I pocket carry in a Mika, since I usually dress with shirt tucked in fully. I have tried at least a dozen pocket holsters. The Mika is the best and among the cheapest.

I am not a fan of so-called "tuckable" holsters", as they are not designed for men of action, such as myself.

When I can shirttail-out or cover with a fleece vest, I use a IWB Milt Sparks SS. This is a Very well made and comfortable rig.

I also carry the Smith around my property (a generally safe rural area) where full concealment isn't a big concern. OWB in a Kramer leather paddle. This rig is exceptionally comfortable. Comfortable enough for yard work and other chores around the ranchette.

I carry a S&W 642 and S&W 60. They both fit in my IWB Bell Charter Oak leather holster or in my Uncle Mikes IWB synthetic soft fabric holster. I also have a Fobus paddle holster if I have a baggy enough and long enough shirt/coat.

Not at all. ... My carry options are 4 non revolver handguns. I like mags.

+2 on the Mika pocket holsters, very well made and affordable. I also have a hi ride Bianchi. The nice thing about pocket carry is if you sense something alarming you can put a hand on your gun without drawing any attention to yourself.

True, just a very long wait for them. Mine took something like 7 or 8 months.

My every-day carry piece is a J-frame 640. I use a High Noon Holsters "hidden ally" IWB holster and I carry at 6:00 in the small of my back. I'm right-handed so I ordered a left-hand holster. Its comfortable and conceals nicely. I also carry a pair of Bianchi speed strips in my right front pocket to give me two quick reloads.

Do you just hook it on the belt and use it owb?

My S&W 640 .357 Magnum sits in a custom holster IWB on the left side small of my back,sometimes when I'm just walking my dog I'll carry it up front at 2:00.

Dual shoulder rigs from Ted Blocker. The second gun is not for a weak hand only shoot, it's to balance the weight and because I doubt my ability to reload faster than drawing the second gun.
I hate stuff pulling my pants down and I can reach these when I am seated.

S&W 442. I use an uncle mikes in the pants holster with the clip cut off. The material its made of is thin and flexable enough to be comfortable and also acts as a protective sheeth while keeping the gun from slipping down the front of my pants. It also works in my pocket and stays in there if i draw. You should give it a try, they're cheap so if you don't like carrying with it you'll have a sheeth to store it in. Size 36 is perfect fit to a 2" 5 shooter and its symetrical so right or left will both work if your cutting the clip off. Good luck finding what you like!
