I have carried the J frame for close to 40 years from the old model 36 to the new ultimate carries and the newest FE X. I have the glock 30 &19 and a few other options as a semi auto carry if I go in to the big city.
In the Winter when you have the jacket I have always carried in OWB leather. Summer Carry is always an IWB , have tried the suede holsters Bianchi etc - to loose retention for me. I have a couple of kydex (yes, I am the guy who bought a red FE one- thats all that was left) so the FE holster I do like it and have been using it for the 642 ultimate carry as the holster was blanked and molded with a full lug J frame as in the picture , it works well except it is the thumb push to unholster the gun if inside the belt the minimalist approach on the design is excellent . I have used another kydex which also works well and it carries the FE X beautifully. When I head for comfort the leather is excellent with the ulti lock that clamps around the belt. I know there was another similar thread on this but I was also looking for IWB options with a more comfort. Guns in pic are empty
If this is a duped thread and the mods want to move it please do.
