I use either an Uncle Mike's #3 or a Mika depending on my pants.
I find the Uncle Mike's makes the gun look something like a wallet or cell phone -- presents a rectangular profile when it prints. Bigger pockets get the Mika.
I have been well pleased with either the Mika or Safariland #25. Safariland #25 is probably a little faster with the plastic liner, but both are fine.
VERY happy with my Raven Concealment 642 pocket holster.
El Paso Saddlery, RKBA Holsters, or Kramer depending on the pocket.

Was this a custom or something they offer off the shelf?
I don't know how people use kydex pocket holsters. When I tried one it made my leg hot and sweaty and the kydex rubbed hot spots as well.
Hated it.
Even my ultra stiff horsehide Kramer is more comfortable.
Of course I drive 6000 miles a month in the desert southwest so that may have something to do with it...

Jody do you have fat legs?The Aholster is the best pocket holster for a J I have used.
Thin, formed to your leg, draws fast, and stays put.
Not padded, but made of a springy cloth-backed polymer, with a tacky band stitched to the central area of the holster to help retention in the pocket.
Over time, the holster conforms somewhat to both the carried gun and to your underlying leg shape.
It looks cheap (and is quite inexpensive) but works well for a 1 7/8" barrel J-frame IME.
I don't have any experience with Kydex pocket holsters, just cloth and leather types, but I would think Kydex would be among the hardest to effectively conceal due to its rigid structure. (I have lots of Kydex belt holsters.)
"Therefore, since the world has still... Much good, but much less good than ill,
And while the sun and moon endure, Luck's a chance, but trouble's sure,
I'd face it as a wise man would, And train for ill and not for good." -- A.E. Housman
It took about a month to get once ordered off the website. I have tried and sold many of the other brands mentioned. I prefer kydex as it worked and felt the best for me.
