I have a nice Bianchi OWB for my older S&W .38 chief's special (i.e. model 36), but I haven't had much luck with some of the IWB I've looked at. So, it's time to take the plunge at purchasing one online.

I really like the AKJ Concealco IWB, but I haven't been able to see one with the thumb break for the j-frame models. I understand the merits of how the TB may slow down draw, etc, but for me it's a requirement (and I'm already used to it with the Bianchi).

Does anyone have this IWB holster for a j-frame with the TB and can post a picture? Or, can you at least verify that the TB slips behind the hammer? I'd appreciate it.

Here's a pic for reference:

Have you tried contacting Concealco directly? They might be able to send you a photo,or answer your questions. I have one of their IWB's for my SP101, but no thumb break on it.

That's normally the first thing I do - start with the company. However, according to the website, they're a pretty small operation and fully admit to being more dedicated to producing their product than answering e-mails, given that it's too easy to become quickly overcome with e-mail inquiries. It sounds harsher the way I said it instead of they way they say it. I respect their honesty. Figured it best to start here first.
