lcr & sof tuck or dual carry?

[old fart]

i just got a 9mm lcr, i don't have much money left for a holster. i want to carry as soon as possible, and will buy a better one in a month or so. so far my choices i can get are the desantis sof tuck or desantis dual carry. are these good and which one would you get if it was choice? thanks

I have a Soft-Tuk which fits my Kel-tec Pf-9 and SIG P290 (though I never use it with my 290 since I have a nice hybrid holster for it). It is OK, not great, but it works. If I was to do it again though I'd get the Pocket-Tuk instead. It is almost the same holster but the clip is removable to use as a pocket holster as well. The Soft-Tuk may be slightly better as an IWB holster (I don't really know since I don't have both), but I wish I went for the versatility of the Pocket-Tuk. In your case, since you plan to replace the Soft-Tuk with a better IWB holster down the road a little bit anyway, I'd definitely go for the 2-for-1 capability of the Pocket-Tuk.

I agree. The pocket tuck gives you a little more versatility than the soft tuck. It's relatively cheap and will let you try different modes of carry before you invest in something more expensive. After trying mine out I removed the clip and use it for cargo pocket carry in the summer.
