Hi! 
Well I recently purchased a S&W Model 642-1 for concealed carry, and while I originally set out to carry the gun in a pocket holster, I was dissatisfied with several different setups that I explored. I just wasn't comfortable with the amount of printing that I was having, and with summer right down the street I wanted to find a way to carry my J-frame more discretely.
After quite a bit of research, I came upon a certain product called the "Barami Hip-Grip" that I've read people like. So I head on over to Midway USA where the Barami grips were in stock, and for just $20 dollars and a wait of 4 days, they found themselves sitting in my mailbox this afternoon.
Naturally, I put them on the gun! I also paired these grips with a Tyler-T in brushed aluminum. I think it makes a nice contrast and the combination is very comfortable in the hand, I like it even better than the factory rubber boot grips that came on the gun.
Here are some pics!
I really like these grips! After installation, just a few hours ago, I took the ol' Wal-Mart walk around to see how these felt. Concealed under just a t-shirt, there was virtually 0 printing. The Barami Hip Grip works simply by hanging over the belt/waistline by means of a protruding lip located on the top right grip panel. A belt is used to provide tension on the gun. No holster is needed. This may not seem like a very practical way to carry, but I can attest (as can many others) that the gun felt 100% secure the entire time. I carried the gun at about the 2:30 position, and this was comfortable for both walking and being seated while driving. The gun DID NOT move at all during this time, even though I took a good 20 minute walk around the store. When I entered/exited the vehicle, no movement was experienced either. These things simply stay put and were comfortable.
Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the Barami Hip Grip. If you are like me and want to carry a J-frame in something other than a pocket holster, and want maximum concealment in something as simple as a t-shirt and jeans, I recommend you give the Barami a try.
Has anyone here used Baramis? What are your thoughts on them? Have any pics you'd like to share?
Thanks for your time!
