LCR pocket holster

Postby ctb5 » Mon Dec 31, 2012 5:05 pm

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good pocket holster for a Ruger LCR?

My only real requirements are: (1) it must cover the trigger guard; (2) it must stay put in the pocket when the gun is drawn; and (3) it should be small/thin enough that you don't have to have giant pockets.

Mika makes best pocket holster available for any gun.

Not familiar with Mika holsters, A-R's recommendation, but I use a DeSantis Nemesis for my P380.

I use a Remora Reinforced Top holster when I want to pocket carry and it works great, it stays in the pocket when drawn, I tried a few holster before I found one that did.

Update: based on comments here and on other forums, I ordered a Remora holster (the 8R-UC to be precise). First impressions:

1. The outside is rubberized and is considerably 'stickier' than other pocket holsters I looked at before ordering.
2. The inside is lined with a barely-padded synthetic fabric (nylon?). There was an option to line the interior with leather, and if I were ordering another, I would probably do this for a smidge less bulk.
3. That said, the holster doesn't add much bulk. LCR pocket carry in jeans is comfortable, and concealable. But just barely, in typical jeans pockets; in pants with deeper pockets it's easy.
4. The Remora holster is sticky enough that IWB appendix carry works on friction alone. Not sure if I would trust it not *ever* to slip, but I would trust it for low-intensity activity with unstretchy material (i.e., not sweatpants). I have read reports of others carrying IWB this way. Haven't tried it myself outside the house yet.

I have a FIST K5 that has worked well. The thumbreak keeps it in the pocket when drawing.
