Post up what you have, what you used in the past that worked or didn't work, and pics of your rig if you can.

Not IWB, but I just gotta mention this...

No photo of me or my bride, but the Birami Hip-Grip is a neat piece of gear.

If you think on it a while, you might discover that it is dang near about the 'bestest' driver's carry for whoever is strapped behind the wheel.

Guys can wear jeans, 1 3/4 belts, and have about a couple hundred years of carry do's and don'ts history.

Our ladies are just beginning to get into that. Most of the emphasis has been on off person, glove compartment, purse, etc., carry.

For discrete on person carry, as opposed to purse carry, for your lady, the J-Frame and Birami may prove to be about as good as its gonna get.

Think about it. Defense options isn't just for males, but there hasn't been much study, or print directed to our ladies.

J-Frames are pretty good stuff.

I have used a GALCO j-hook tuckable IWB in the past. I prefer pocket carry tho.

I do carry this J-frame as my Sunday carry an awful lot of the time. I use the OWB Galco concealable pancake most of the time. The other is a Galco tuckable. It does no have to be tucked so regular IWB. There are better holster if you are wearing it all day every day. The OWB is ver comfortable. Other is OK>
My opinion & YMMV

I've been using a Tucker "Cover-Up" for years and am very happy with it. The clip is adjustable to allow for any degree of cant you like. This also allows the clip to be adjusted so that it doesn't rest against the cylinder, which helps lessen the width. http://rlcompanyusa.stores.yahoo.net/coupforjre.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Though I normally carry my J-frame in a pocket holster, occasionally I do carry it in a High Noon Holsters tuckable IWB "Split Decision". It carries well. The thickness of the cylinder can become uncomfortable occasionally, and I prefer to IWB a single-stack semi-auto. But the J-frame/HNH combo works well when I need it. Also, because the J-frame grip is so small, this configuration does carry very discreetly when tucked, except for the slight bulge around my belt line. Concealed better at 4 o'clock than 3 o'clock if tucked.

I am just waiting for my License to arrive in the mail. I picked up a Crossbreed supertuck IWB holster for my S&W 642. Ive carried it around the house and been to the range with it to test it out. Works great, hides the J frame revolver very well.

I use a Dillon OWB for snubs:

Its made by Mitch Rosen.

I'm having an IWB made for my 638 by Mika's Pocket Holsters, 12-16 weeks waiting time. I'm anxious to get it and try it out. In the meantime, I'll be using a Blackhawk Serpa or a Destantis Pocket Holster. I wear guayaberas most of the time and expect the IWB to be really good. But, neither the Desantis and Serpa print at all with a guayabera.
