I have been trying to carry my 642 (j-frame smith) in a High Noon "Mr. Softy", but I guess you get what you pay for sometimes, and i'm not pleased with the holster at all.

The holster is not formed to the gun, and the gun is constantly trying to "squirt" out the top. There is a retention screw, but it's not much help.

I am in need of suggestions for a straight drop holster with decent retention. I don't mind paying top-dollar, but I would rather not wait 6 months to get my hands on one.

I'm not intersted in a smart carry, and I frequently carry it in a pocket holster, but in a high-stress situation, I think I might have trouble getting a fistful of gun out of my jeans pocket.

Raven Concealment System and Comp Tac have appendix holsters.

I've looked at Raven and Comp-tac's stuff, and I have an mtac for my 19. But, as small as the 2" j-frames are, I think a simple, quality straight drop IWB may be all I need. The gun is so short, I don't think cant is necessary.

How about the Comp-Tac Two-O'Clock for $65, as found here?
