I just bought a nickel model 37 and looking for a leather OWB. I typically only carry autos IWB but I find small revolvers awkward to draw from IWB. Who makes a good low profile leather OWB with no thumb strap?

My two favorites are simply rugged and Ritchie
The simply rugged sourdough ( I have a couple) is very low profile built to last a lifetime you hardly know the gun is there |

I have a Simply Rugged pancake type for a J frame. Works very well for me.

Milt Sparks PCH holds the gun really close to the body

What’s the difference between pancakes and a Mini-14? Pancakes hit the spot.-dvanblaricom

There is a PCH and it’s a pocket holster. https://www.miltsparks.com/pocket-holsters/pch-ri/ Attached File Attached File |

I used a Don Hume belt scabbard thing, don't recall the model.

I bought a 1791 recently for my no dash model 60. Seems to work out well for me.

I ended up ordering one of these cheap Don Hume holsters to try. It seemed like everything else I could find was going to give me more holster than gun. Heavy, double thickness leather, thumb breaks, tensions screws, etc. They seemed like overkill for a 14 oz j frame.

Any opinions on Galco for this? I’ve been happy with their Concealment models for autos, and I’ve been meaning to pick up a pair of holsters for a J.

Every normal man, at times, must be tempted to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

I have been very pleased with a holster I got from WhiteGateLeather on Etsy. Top grade leather- rides close to the body.

Interestingly enough, 1791 makes some very nice rigs for not a whole lot of money - I have had a few, open top OWB rigs, work quite well.

So be cautious with that. |
