How do you conceal your J frame?

[MikeJ]

I'm exploring different methods of carrying my 640 .357 concealed and would like opinions from others on what they feel is the best method. If you carry IWB please state whether it is in the 1 o'clock, 4 o'clock etc. position and also what holsters have worked best for you. Thanks, Mike

I carry mine OWB with a covering vest or jacket. I use a Galco Speed-Master opentop. This is me & mine:

I used to carry IWB about 4 - 5 o'clock. Lately tho, I've been carryng my mod 60 in the pocket.

In the pocket...............

I carry my 340SC .357 mag in the pocket and although it is amazingly light, it feels a bit "lumpy" at times, especially while sitting or kneeling. At present, I carry it in an Uncle Mike's size 4 soft, flexible fabric pocket holster, but I'm looking to upgrade to something a little more "concealable." Since I wear almost exclusively Docker-style pleated trousers, it is almost invisible when I'm standing or walking.

Fabric IWB at 3:00 under a jacket, vest, or just shirttail out. I'm "big boned" so it disappears really well even in the summer in shorts and a t-shirt.

Barami Hip-Grip, under a T-shirt in the summer months, under a jacket in the winter. It works really well for me.

I keep the 640 in the pocket mostly with an Uncle Mikes pocket holster. Works well. I also use a DeSantis IWB at 4o'clock or so. That hides great with a t-shirt. If its cool out i will wear an overshirt. All in all I love the 640

IWB @ 4 O'Clock seems to work best for me. Holster depends on type of covering garment. Winter in Fl. = Sweatshirt or light jacket =OWB Galco. Summer= T-Shirt=IWB sans holster. It is not for everyone I know, but it works for me. I never could fit a J frame in my Levis pocket, or the pockets of my hiking shorts either, there is just not enough room. Ankle holsters feel are also out for the same reason.

Good luck in whichever method you decide to try.

1:30 position with a Barami hip grip for my S&W 37 and 60. Never had it slip out or fall down.

Left front pocket in an Uncle Mike's holster.

 

[Standing Wolf]

I pack my pre-agreement Smith & Wesson model 60 in a Kramer inside the waist band holster at four to five o'clock. It stays put, doesn't take up lots of room, and lets me sit in chairs comfortably.

 

[Fed168]

Pocket holster from Wild Bill's, or in a fanny pack.

 

[Mannlicher]

If I am carrying a J frame, its because clothing style just won't handle anyhthing bigger. I carry in the front right hand pants pocket, slipped in a Sam Andrews pocket holster.

 

[denfoote]

I carry my Taurus M85UL IWB in a Galco WB290. I position it right in front of the strong side hip bone.

[mikey357]

...I carry my "Always" gun, a Smith Model 442, in a now out-of-production Bagmaster "Fanny pack"...mostly for the convenient "on and off"...can't carry at work, unfortunately, and the fanny pack is a lot more innocuous to leave in the vehicle than a paddle holster and gun--!!!....mikey357

 

[Litlman]

Uncle Mikes left front pocket. When riding the mt. bike it's in a small waist bag by Uncle Mikes. I think that it is a gunmate?

 

[dsgrntldPW]

1 o'clock in a Galco Scout j-hook IWB for my 638, 37 and 640. Only concern is it's not really accessible when driving, but I have my KP-95 for the truck.

 

[Lancel]

My Taurus 731UL is most often in a Fist #K1 IWB at the 4:30 position.

I usually use a flat-buckled GI elastic belt as an "underbelt" and the forward strap of the Fist is a snap strap (per my request) so I can secure it to either the GI belt or to a pants belt.

(The inner belt keeps my weapon secure even when my pants are down - eg. toliet.)

Right front pocket with an Uncle Mikes.

Leather front pocket, or ankle holster by Triple K.

 

[Okiecruffler]

Depends on my fashion statement

Lately been carrying IWB at 1 o'clock in my new Don Hume holster, great stuff, can't recommend them highly enough. Sometimes in the right front pocket in a holster I made from an old wallet. And if I were allowed to carry at work, probably in my fanny pack.

I am back to carrying my 640. I prefer a Galco IWB at the 4 o'clock position or a jacket pocket.
