Back in the 70’s I use to carry a small S&W 38 special in a cheep no name brand IWB leather holster with a spring clip, in the small of my back. Traded the 38 for a Walter PPK’s and for over 25 years, I’ve carried the Walther the same way.

After a while it gets uncomfortable in the car, but works great for going to dinner, and if you’re warring a small jacket it’s very concealed, and yet you can get to it quickly.

I ONLY carry my S&W 36 IWB, a Bianchi Model 100 Professional. Very well made and extremely comfortable. Very easy to switch from strong side carry to cross draw for driving. I wore that rig crossdraw for a 6-hour drive last weekend with no discomfort. I love my little snubby and that holster. (My M36 is loaded with 158gr LSWCHP standard pressure Buffalo Bores)

I carry a 642 or 940 in a Tucker cover-up smooth leather out w/c-clip. It is easy on and off. Also pocket carry both. Iwb carry 95% of time. Also have Galco shoulder holster and smart carry. I have more holsters and options for my j-frames than for my other autos and revolvers.

+1 on the Barami Hip Grip.. the most comfortable way to carry a 642 IMO.

I primarily carry a 1911 but I also carry a 638 J frame when clothing dictates or I'm working in the shop during the work day. I can carry IWB in a FIST Kydex tuckable, pocket in a PCS Black Bird or in a chest band. I also saw an Andrews McDaniel II IWB I really liked. There are so many ways you can carry a J frame as primary or backup.

I never could get comfortable with the Barami, but I do find the Galco IWB holster to work well.

I don't have a J-frame Smith, but I do carry an SP101 in an IWB made by J. W. O'Rourke at www.gun-holsters.com. He makes one with the metal clip or with a leather snap tab.

I carried my 642 IWB in an Uncle Mikes ( Uncle YIKES !! ) until my holster came in from Tucker ( a looong time ). It was the most uncomfortable way I've carried. Don't judge carrying IWB by using an Uncle Mikes anything. The gun was poking in my side and would shift constantly. I have a Tucker cover up for J-frame. I can't imagine an IWB holster being anymore comfortable. There is a long wait. You may try Fist. Ive got 4 of their holsters and love em all.

I'm with ya there. I have many carry options for my j-frame. It just conceals better for those "hard to carry" times.

I had been carrying in a pocket holster for some months but was always somewhat dissatisfied. Not that the pocket didn't work well, it was always a little too "loose" for me.

I ordered a tuckable from Sideguard Holsters for my 442 and absolutely love it. Carrying at about 4:00, the J seems to melt into my waist. Preferred method now.
