I went and did it again.

I want to get suggestions for a good pocket holster for my newest acquisition, which will soon become my bug after proving itself at the range. Its nothing special, just a S&W Model 442.

Looks good. I like having the hammer spur out of the way. I have a Bodyguard, which has the "humped" look, and lets you still cock the hammer altho the spur is shrouded on both sides. Frankly I would be just as happy to have it completely enclosed like (I think) yours is.

As for holsters...I always heard good things about Mika's pocket holster, so I ordered one back in April. Unfortunately for me, so many folks have done what you done that he has an 8-12 week backlog. I knew that when ordering, and he emailed me to doublecheck that I was OK with that.

Wish I had ordered a couple more while I was at it, since I am going to get a couple Colt snubbies soon. HIs site is: http://www.frontiernet.net/~akim/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Good luck.

Ok, I lied about there being nothing special about this gun. I wanted one since I first heard about it on Tom Gresham's Gun Talk before they were available. I asked one local dealer to get one but nothing ever came from that. This one was ordered by my favorite FFL for someone else who changed their mind and decided they did not want it. I kept trying to say no to it today but it, my buddy who works at the FFL, his wife, and my other buddy who works at said FFL were hitting me up to buy it and I could not refuse after they shut up and I had time to argue with myself about it. I have one holster that would fit it, but that holster is a little (read completely) worn out.

I'm perfectly happy with my galco pocket holster for my 642. Nothing fancy about it, but it works well and they shouldn't be hard to find.

Nice Heller decision edition 442.

+1 on DeSantis. I like the Superfly's concealment panel. It attaches with velcro so it can be removed. It's basically a Nemesis with an extra bit to hide the weapon.

I have carried a S&W 642 in a Mika's pocket holster every day for more than 2 years. On most days, due to needing to enter courthouses as part of my employment and the desire to not undress in the parking lot, the 642 is my only carry.

Mika's holster is great. It holds the weapon well but stays in the pocket on the draw. You have to grab the holster to remove it from the pocket at the end of the day. Simply grabbing the grip will always result in a clean draw after the holster breaks in.

While I'm "patiently" waiting on my CHL to be processed, I'm getting ready. I got a Blackhawk Size 3 for my 442 yesterday. And I got another Blackhawk for my S&W 915 to slip it into the pocket behind the passenger seat. And I use it now to have a car gun handy.
