Whats your favorite IWB J frame Holster?

I have a mika pocket holster that I used back when I had a smith 642. I still have it and will use it again if I buy an LCR
 
I've been carrying my model 36 in a Remora for the last couple of weeks. I love it. Because there's no clips or loops, you can position exactly where you want it no matter what you are wearing.

I'd post the link, but my firewall won't let me.

Aloha
 
I've been using a N82 Tactical with my 642 for a little while now. It doesn't look like much, but it's pretty comfortable and the price is right. Reholstering can be slow, but everything stays put and out of sight.
 
The only IWB holster I ever had for my J frame was a cheap leather one that was not reinforced at the mouth at all and would collapse completely flat upon drawing. Comfortable sure, but horrible for re-holstering. I'm so used to carrying an auto on the hip though so I never bothered to buy a nice holster for the M36. But hey if one of you has a nice one you don't need, karma it to me and I'll give it a try. ;)

I realize this is an old thread (blame northframingham for the resurrection), but be careful with holsters designed for J-frames......the LCR's trigger guard is bigger, and impedes the assumed cross-compatibility. YMMV.

I realize it is an old thread too, but I am hoping to get input on the N82 holster line. Probably looking to get one for my SHIELD & S&W 640.
 
I use an Uncle Mikes pocket holster for summer carry in a front pocket (usually wearing cargo shorts). I have a Galco summer comfort IWB holster, but I feel the leather is too bulky. It prints way worse than when I IWB carry my 1911.

Edit to add: I'm thinking I need to order a couple holsters from tattoo72.

The original I believe. The one problem I have with it is it doesn't stay tight against me so printing can be a problem. That's really the problem I always have carrying at 4:00.

I've recently starting using an OWB holster I bought off another NESer. It's a TripleK Secret Agent (Model #420). At first I didn't like the idea of a thumb break, but now I'm used to it and I feel better having it there. The one thing I'm a hair leery about is that the trigger is exposed. With the 12# trigger I'd have to go out of my way to have an AD, but the possibility is there.
