Absolutely +1 on Comp-Tac's CTAC.

Ditto on the C-T.A.C. Comp-tac is an excellent company to buy from with great customer service and the C-T.A.C. is a great holster.

My Concealco J Frame IWB is very, very comfortable and functional.

This may seen very basic to alot of you...but there are two kinds or designs of IWB's available.
Stacked loops which put the loops right over the cylinder...ie...summer special styles etc...= bad for a snubby. This creates way to much bulk or thickness and will put to much pressure on you..thus you may not want to wear it.
Offset loops which put the belt attachment away from the cylinder making it more stable and thinner.
Choose based on the maker/style/cant/color etc that you like.

Hope this helps............God bless Eric

I have three Fist IWB's...one kydex, and two leather (strong side and SOB)...all are great holsters...although I do prefer the leather over kydex...

I have a Tucker Cover-up for my 642. I wear it at 4 o'clock.

I originally bought it thinking I could wear it at Appendix (1:30) or Crossdraw (10:30). It doesn't do either one well for me.

At Appendix it seems to dig into my crease between my thigh and belly when I sit. Same in Crossdraw.

What it does really well is give me an easy adjustment to exactly the right angle. It is also very easy to put on and take off. It has become my "grab and go" gun/holster combination.

YMMV one hell of a lot.

I'm glad you said you wear it at 4:00. I have one ordered and prefer to carry at 3:30 or so.

I carry 2 j frames a lot in the florida heat. One in the pocket the other on my right hip with a barami hip grip and tyler t grip. I am going to publix super market now with 10 for sure and 2 speed strips.

For summer wear with a tucked in shirt the below rig works well. The edge of the butt rides even with the top edge of the belt. Just a bit of shirt blousing conceals it. It also carries with the thinner butt at the belt level and not the thicker cylinder so there is less bulk.
