Santa was good to me..... Bodyguard holster suggestions?

**jmarshall** · December 26th, 2010, 03:21 PM

Dad got me a S&W bodyguard in .38 Special..... anyone have a suggestion for a holster?

Looking for IWB, OWB, and/or a shoulder rig....

Thanks

IWB: Crossbreed Supertuck or QuickClip, no more options needed.

OWB: Any leather pancake will do.

Shoulder: Skip it all together and get a pocket holster (DeSantis Nemesis), you will end up pocketing the gun 100x more than carrying it in a shoulder rig.

Congrats, great all-around gun!

Crossbreed was a pretty much given but wanted to check...

Only reason I said shoulder is cause I am gonna need one for with my tux at my best friend's wedding

Ankle?

Come on dude, you rarely get to play the roll of bodyguard... go all out. Under a tux... full size semi-auto - even if it's a 9mm.

Thats the other thing I was wondering about.....can you swap out the actual holster on a shoulder rig? To where you just buy one rig with interchangable parts?

Forgive the question, but I have never seen a shoulder holster in person.....

if we can swap out pieces and parts of a shoulder rig I might carry my Sigma under one arm and my glock 20 under another

I've never seen a shoulder rig that has interchangeable holsters. By the same token, I don't think I have ever seen a shoulder rig with a Kydex retention style holster. They may exist; I have just never seen one.

I typically get the generic "this holster fits..." model and adjust it for a particular gun. More often than not, you can find an adjustment point that fits multiple guns fairly well.

2 gun shoulder rigs are different. The strap setup is totally different than a 1 gun shoulder rig.

I would go with a 1 gun rig that has a magazine holder. The gun will be on your weak side (cross draw), the magazine holder on your strong side (grab across with your weak hand).

Here is some relevant trivia:
