Smile Anyone carry their J-frame snub IWB ??

Just wondering,

I did a search, but didn't turn up much specific info about carrying snubs IWB.

My main CCW is a Glock 36 which I carry IWB. However since having a snub nosed revolver again(Been without one since the late 60's when my Colt Cobra was stolen) I find I carry it more and more.

I have a pocket holser and a belt holster for my J-frame. Both are of good quality and work fine for most situations. I mostly pocket carry, but use the OWB holster ocassionally with a sweater or jacket.

Sometimes both pocket carry and the OWB leave something to be desired, which is why I thought of asking the board members about their IWB experiences.

I know the snub is a small gun, and some may say there is not much to be gained by carrying such a small pistol IWB.

I was thinking of something that is easy to put on and take off(clip attachment?). With the possibility that it could be used on the weak side as a cross draw when driving, etc.

Let me hear your thoughts and opinions, with some possible suggestions on specific holsters that might be suitable.

Thanks,

Jim

The clip-grip idea supposedly works. Today I have my snub in a SmartCarry, but I have a K&D Cochise Defender IWB I like and use frequently as a "dress holster".

I have a Desantis Tuck-This, a couple of soft Uncle Mike's and a clip-on from Black Hills. The softies are hard to beat for comfort and the Desantis is adjustable for crossdraw. I don't worry too much about ease of reholstering, since I figure that if I've had to take my pistol out, returning it with one or two hands is probably lower on my list of problems.

I have a Galco IWB for my 442. Attaches with a hook under the belt, is reasonably comfortable, but not easy to take off and relocate and forget reholstering. Take my experience with a grain of salt, I received my permit 2 days ago, so my experience is very limited.

I carry my snubbie with Barami Hip Grips. Works for me, but only available in right hand.

http://www.baramihipgrip.com/index.html

" Barami Hip-Grip® - Most Comfortable and Convenient Way to Carry a Concealed Weapon

The Barami Hip Grip® is the most comfortable and convenient way to carry a concealed weapon. It's recommended for use by Plain Clothesmen, Detectives, Off-Duty Policemen, Retail Businessmen, Truck Drivers, Bodyguards, Security Personnel and any other authorized citizen.

The Barami Hip Grip® is a set of stocks (replacement). The right grip panel has an "extension" that flares away from the gun slightly, creating a surface that when inserted inside the waistband (trousers, shorts, skirts, etc.) it hooks over it."

Smile Hbe Iwb

I carry a 642 in my HBE IWB and found it to be very comfortable as I'm not a thin guy and was initally a little concerned. It is a great addition to the carry options for the J frame.

I use a Bianchi Model 6 waistband holder. It's soft, comfortable, and exactly what you're looking for.
