How do you carry your all steel snubbie.

What holster do you guys use? How do you dress with certain carry options? I have a Bianchi IWB that I usually put in the Appendix position. But it's really not all that comfortable. I also have a OWB holster, while the most comfortable I can only use that with a jacket because it prints to much with just an untucked Tshirt.
 
I daily carry a S&W 649 in .357 magnum. It gets carried in an outside the waistband Safariland Minimalist belt holster.
 
All steel revolver

I've tried every kind of holster you can imagine and I have never been able to comfortably carry an all steel revolver except in an OWB holster. Thats why I went to an LCR and LCP using pocket carry depending on the pocket size.
 
for carrying a tiny revolver, this Don Hume rig is about the best:



I tried one of these but they let the gun poke out too much:



Of all I've tried, I like this one best:

I use a simple IWB, appendx position for my S&W J frames.

Used that holster at the bottom with the S&W 60 for over 20 years. Carried 640, 638, and 60 in that little rig.

I am left handed and carry my 2" in an Uncle Mikes 0 inside the pants holster.
It's comfortable and easy to pull as long as I keep my belt tight.
 
S&W 640 in a De Santis Super Fly pocket holster. I wear dress pants and blue jeans and it works fine in both. There is enough room for a speed strip between the layers. The weight does require a good belt but it works great.

I do not like to carry on my waist band.
 
an all steel J frame for me is on the ankle or I/OWB. pocket carry is for my airweight types as I don't like the constant beating my thigh gets from a heavier gun.
 
Mika pocket holster for my Colt DS or S&W model 36. For that matter I carry my S&W model 642 in it as well. Great holster!
 
I carry my Smith Model 36 snub OTB in a Bianchi holster - I think it's a model 75 (?). It has a thumb release and holds it tight to the body - carried on my right side towards my back. I really like the holster of all that I tried. I also carry a single "dump pouch" with six spare cartridges just in front of the holster OTB.

I tried carrying in the waist band and just wasn't comfortable with it. I have some arthritis in my arms and shoulders and the Bianchi I'm using seems to work the best as far as access and being able to draw. I'm retired so when I carry, I'm usually "dressed down" - i.e. casual, blue jeans and if in warm weather, the shirt tail is out. If cooler, a sweater or sweatshirt covers or a jacket.

I do leather work as a hobby but for what I bought the Bianchi for, I couldn't set up and make it 0 it was just easier to purchase it. I am considering making a shoulder holster to wear with jacket though.
 
Pocket hoster or Bianchi strong side own holster($5) at gunshow!
Also got a beautifull $20 one of a kind panake! Teal nice basketweave light brown leather. Gun is so small it gets lost amongst all the pretty leather! It's cool to look at.Bianchi is more piratical, is almost invisable on person
When in summer shorts, I just stick it in the front pocket.
Great revolvers!
 
This is my wife's S&W M637 with a 1-7/8" barrel in one of our family holsters. The rig rides high and the strap is rarely used, for horseback or 4x4 rough country excursions. With minimal drop, the gun is not visible with most any kind of shirt worn outside the pants...even t-shirts. Both she and I wear it in the old "FBI" position at 4 o'clock. Pic was taken before I'd set the snap in front of the trigger guard. HTH's Rod
