[QUOTE="TallPrairie, post: 1170524, member: 7815"] I alternate between two: * [URL="http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/"]Robert Mika[/URL] pocket holster, round cut. Here's a [URL="http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/pocket.htm"]pic[/URL]. $29.95. Awesome for concealment and comfort. It makes my 642 practically disappear in a pair of jeans. On the other hand, it's not quite ideal for holster retention (i.e., holster staying in the pocket on the draw). I have tweaked my draw stroke to add just a touch of backward arc (pull out and back) and that helps with retention when using the Mika. By the way, Mika himself is retired LAPD and a really nice guy; he will probably call you personally to go over your order. * [URL="http://www.usgalco.com/HolsterPG3.asp?ProductID=771&GunID=109"]Galco[/URL] pocket holster.
