What are you guys using for a pocket holster for your revolvers? I have been carrying my 642 in my own crappy milk jug holster for a while but I am carrying the j-frame more now and would like a proper pocket holster. I'd like kydex but could be talked into leather.
I was just made aware of the Aholster Backbone pocket holster. Looks neat.
What's your recommendation?
Safariland #25. Easily obtained, not very expensive, fast, and works with lots of different snubs.
Just a Hairy Special Snowflake supply clerk with no field experience, shooting an Asymetric carbine as a Try Hard. Snarky and easily butt hurt. Favorite animal is the Cape Buffalo....likely indicative of a personality disorder.

For the soft holsters, the desantis nemesis has the best cut around the trigger guard. Unlike the other sack holsters you can't really pinch the holster onto the gun with your middle finger during the draw stroke with the nemesis.
For leather I like the Kramer which has a easily repeatable release if you draw directly up and rake it against the front of your pocket.
On kydex... I have tried the grandfather oak model and gotta say that shape around the bottom edge of the cylinder quickly became uncomfortable rubbing against my thigh. I can see that might be an issue with the aholster you linked. Also that open design will just allow more fuzz to get in.

My favorite pocket holster is a DeSantis Superfly, which is similar to a Nemesis but has an anti-print panel, which significantly enhances concealment by making the bulge less gun-shaped.
Kydex is not a good choice for a pocket holster. A pocket holster is not anchored to a belt, and needs to release the gun easily.

I have the second one. It's kydex. I like it.

I just ordered one of these as recommended by LSP972. On the website it list two different weight leathers being used in the holster but again as I understood to be spec'd by LSP972 I asked for the whole holster to be made out of the lighter weight of leather.

I could be too picky... but the problem I found with that model is that section adjacent to the trigger guard would sometimes foul my initial grip.Originally Posted by UNK

Mika's has a good reputation. I personally use a horsehide pocket holster for most of my pocket gun duties. Rough side out, and one or two shaped hooks to keep the holster in the pocket on the draw.
Yup.
Among the most comfortable and softest, plus makes less of a bulge than any of the leather examples.
I have examples for J-frames in leather and synthetics from Pocket Concealment, Alessi, Null, DeSantis and a few others, and the Mika is the one that has gotten the most use.
