Since the Snubby revolver thread is going well, there have been mentions of some holsters that folks like, but that info may get “lost in the sauce” a bit. I’d appreciate input on good holsters for AIWB, IWB, cross draw and pocket carry. If there is already a thread dedicated to snubby holsters, I’d be happy to be directed there.
Thanks in advance.
I’m pleased with my Dark Star Apollo for j-frame. The standard metal clip is very solid. https://darkstargear.com/shop/revolvers/

Mica or DeSantis Nemesis for pocket carry. For belt (3 o'clock) I've got a couple Galco Tritons for the Taurus 605 and S&W 642. (Same holster, but I have to adjust the screws out for the slightly fatter Taurus.) Both the older style of that holster, both with snap loops. For LCRx I ordered out a JM Custom IWB something, set up the same way (snap loops, 15 degree cant). I used a DeSantis SlimTuk for the LCR while I waited for the JM Custom to get made. Worked pretty well for a $20 holster.Originally Posted by SSGN_Doc
For me it's a phlster city special in an enigma most of the time. If it's going in a pocket than it's an Aholster
Come, mother, come! For terror is thy name, death is in thy breath, and every shaking step destroys a world for e'er. Thou 'time', the all-destroyer! Come, O mother, come!
Darkstar Apollo for me too
Kramer pocket holster or a cheap Amazon belly band (taking recommendations for what guys are using here). I tried the AIWB thing but for me it printed more than a 1911. So if I’m wearing pants with a belt it’s a 1911.
I use LH and RH Kramer pocket holsters, an AIWB from Zulu Bravo Kydex and a Phlster City Special on an Enigma. Need to pick up an ankle rig for the times I may want to go that route.
I have a leather aiwb holster for my LCR from Bobby Mac that I heard about from @SouthNarc.
To this day it’s the most comfortable setup I own, I can literally lose track that I’m wearing it. Unfortunately Bobby Mac seems to have disappeared; I Iast heard from him in 2014. Plus, the Sig365xl that I just picked up with a jmck aiwb 2.5 is getting close to as comfortable and holds 140% more rounds.
I do own a jmck for my lcr; it’s really good but not quite as comfortable as the leather from Bobby Mac.
Edited to add: the aholster pocket holster is where my lcr goes 90% of the time I’m carrying it anymore.

My snubby is probably not one carried by the majority here, but is also one for which finding holsters can be a challenge: a Colt Detective Special from 1995. What I have found works for me:
IWB: FIST ultra thin kydex.
OWB: Dillon leather pancake style holster
Shoulder: Galco Miami Classic
Ankle: Renegade (the version with the leather tab sewn behind the trigger guard on the elastic holster body).
Speed strip carrier: Dillon leather vertical belt pouch
Speed loader pouch: Aholster Backtrain pocket carrier (I have purchased these and was impressed with them but have not actually used them for carry).
