Holster options for the SW 642 Airweight?

Hey all,

I recently purchased a 642 for my wife, but find that Im going to carry it too instead of my Glock 22. Feels great btw..anyhow, the only real holster option Ive found is the DeSantis Nemesis holster and while its great and works well, I was wondering if there was anything else out there or something that you guys use?

Thanks

Steve

If you are looking for an OWB, check out Bluegrass Hosters. I have one for my 442 and it rides high and tight, so you can cover with a t-shirt and no one will know it's there.

For pocket carry, Mika holsters are good as mentioned above and I also really like my RKBA leather pocket holster. Low price on both and they work well.

I have a lot of J frame pocket holsters but the one I use the most is from Elite Survival Systems.

For pocket carry of a 642, IMO nothing beats a Mika. Holster stays in pocket when you draw and it does not print "gun."
