Title: IWB Holster for Internal Hammer J-Frame
Post by: sanjuancb on March 02, 2009, 07:11:17 PM: I'm more than likely going to buy a j-frame this weekend (probably a S&W 642) and was wondering if anyone can recommend an IWB holster for it? No need to get fancy, just comfortable and serviceable! Thanks guys and gals!

Just what I want...a load gun inside my pants with nothing covering the trigger! OUCH!

Good luck on your penile surgery! :o

It's a whole new take on the old "I want an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle!" and the old "You'll shoot your eye out, kid." thang!

Post by: sanjuancb on March 03, 2009, 08:29:45 PM: Yeah, I am not too sure about the hip grips (I don't have any experience with them. Also, wearing jeans a lot kinda rules out a pocket holster (small pockets on those Wranglers & Levis). Uncle Mike's doesn't seem like an ideal, but I don't necessarily want to spend $100 on a holster either. Yes, I know you get what you pay for.

Post by: HAWKFISH on March 03, 2009, 10:22:15 PM: Umm.. as noted.. Uncles Mikes.. IWB ..cheap black ..neoprene type holsters are comfortable.. you won't remember it's there.. until you got to the bathroom etc.. then the gun can/will shift and want to come out.. unless you are paying attention.. and kinda "nuss it" so's it don't. Otherwise..I would get a Don Hume or a Galco leather.. Don Hume's can be littler cheaper than Galco's although not always.. they are top notch leather and fit guns like a glove.. so your gun won't try to fall out either. BTW.. 642 is a good choice.. lite and comfy.. I have a 638 that I love too. Right now.. it's the only other gun I carry ..if I'm not carrying a Glock.. which is still my primary carry gun. You might want to get one with a thumb strap too.. if it's not a leather on that fits like a glove. ;)

Post by: fatrabbit on March 04, 2009, 04:12:23 PM: I have one by BLACKHAWK. It was around twenty dollers and I got it at Gander Mountain. Very nice. I have the M638 and it fits very well. I'm gonna buy another one in case this one wears out ;)
