Looking for a pocket holster for my 642

SubNine · January 19th, 2009, 01:05 PM

I plan to use my 642 as a BUG, and have been looking into a pocket holster. I want one that makes it appear that I have a wallet in my pocket, and not a holstered pistol. I usually carry my wallet in my front right pocket, but may have to move that to my rear pocket. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I bought a DeSantis Nemesis on Saturday for $19 but I already don't like it. It will be ok as a scabbard for the 642 when my girlfriend purse carrys but as far a pocket holster is concerned it is kind of bulky. Maybe a kydex would be better.

In my opinion, for the best value and function, get a Mika: Mika's Pocket Holsters - Custom Made Pocket Holsters, Waistband Holsters, Vest Holsters, Tactical Pocket Mirrors And Much More.

I agree.

It won't look like a wallet, but it won't look like a gun either.

IMO, for the best investment and function, get a Kramer.

I bought my husband a Desantis Superfly, which has a textured, "almost sticky" (not gooey-sticky) no-slip surface to help keep the holster from sliding around. He will on occasion wear the holster in a large jacket pocket, so the the texture has been handy keeping it in place. The holster comes with a removable flap that creates a "wallet" look.

Another vote for Mika. Square and round versions shown as bookends in this photo. An inexpensive Uncle Mike's is used in small pockets and the leather DM Bullard fits my warm-ups and pj's pockets nicely.

+1 on Mika, not pretty, but very functional and for the price you can get both round & square bottomed ones. The DeSantis Super Fly is also a great holster.

You get a lot for the money in Mika's holsters. I find them a little too bulky when compared with other pocket holsters.
