IWB Holster for S&W 642 .38

Would appreciate any help on a good IWB holster for my J-frame snubbie. I want to carry in the small of back, drawing with left hand.
Prefer leather. Thanks.

Whatever you decide on, make sure it isn't a clip on....I use a clip on with mine but I carry at 3:30 over a belt and have no issues with the holster coming out with the gun, but with SOB, sitting down may cause it to pop out of your pants...

with a Fist, Inc...#41 SOB (with a clip)...as with all their clips...you can't pull the holster out with BOTH hands...it will not budge unless you release the clip by pulling it out from the pants/belt...

Stay armed...stay safe!

My MIKA POCKET HOLSTER carries my M642. Fast draw, secure carry and not expensive at all!

+1 on the Mika. It stays in your pocket when you draw, and does not print.

Why the small of your back. I believe many on here will discourage that method of carry. I ordered a "Tucker cover up for J frame" for my 642. I havent got it yet, but it has been highly reccomended.

I don't carry a J-Frame IWB. To me the gun is designed to go in a Pocket or on the Ankle.

If you absolutely "must" go IWB with a J-Frame I would look at carrying in the "Appendix" Position. Mitch Rosen makes one called the "Workman" that is good for deep concealment, no jacket needed. It's a "Tuckable".

I have to agree with using a MIKA POCKET HOLSTER with the S&W642 . I carry the 642CT everyday and I can say it's a pure pleasure to carry in a MIKA

+1 again for the Mica. I own one and love it. Works great and cheap.
