Model 642 J frame question

[Jefpainthorse]

I keep a SW 60 in a Uncle Milke's #3 ... front pocket ...99% of my waking hours.

If I can dress around a belt gun.... I go to a bigger gun and the 60 stays in the pocket anyway. Every now and then the J frame gets carried on the belt (suits, sportcoats) ... Densantis speed scabbard....but that situation happens about 5 times a year, tops.

When I retired from the US Army, I swore at that time, unless its someone's funeral, I'll never wear another suit. So far I've been lucky

I don't understand the arguments that a J frame is too large for pocket carry. I regularly carry an airweight K frame in my front pocket. It's a much larger gun and fits just fine, at least in my experience.

Not everybody has large pockets. A pair of pants with a 32" waist doesn't have the same size pockets as a 42" waist.

I wear 30" pants.

Dude, what pants are you using? I can hardly get the phone out of my pants pocket if I'm sitting.

Carpenter jeans mostly. They have nice big pockets.

I am a little embarrassed because I am a self-proclaimed holster snob. However, for the last few months when I pocket carry my 642 it is in this POC nylon holster that used to have a plastic belt clip on it that I cut off. I think it might be a Blackhawk. If it cost $10 I would be surprised

Hi,

I really don't understand IWB and J-Frame since my J-Frame fits and conceals so well in the pocket. If I am going to IWB, it will be a Glock 19.

Thanks,

Alan

Holster draw is much faster and less chance to snag on something, at least for me.
