J frame pocket holster

I currently have a Mika round cut and a Uncle Mike's #3 that I use when I carry my S&W Model 60 in my pocket. I find both of these work well in shorts and khaki's and I find the 60 my Sunday gun more and more. I also find my 60 being my yard work gun. Recently I have found my J frame shooting has drastically improved and I feel comfortable carrying it a little more. That said. I find when I carry in blue jeans the butt of the grip seems to print. Currently using the Uncle Mike boot grip which I find I shoot better than the Houge Bantam and the Monogrip. I say seems to print because in reality I realize that folks are so caught up with themselves that printing is really something that only those look for notice. I also realize that I notice it more because I am looking down on than someone would looking straight on. I carry a whole heap of stuff in my pockets so having a full pocket doesnt bother me. I am in search of another holster. I am thinking maybe a Mike square cut. Simply because the square shape will appear to be a wallet or phone etc while being thin but not allowing the cylinder etc to print. I dont care if its leather or kydex or ? but I would prefer for it to hide the grip. What do you use? What do you suggest?

new pocket rigs....

I'd suggest looking at the pocket carry holsters from DeSantis, Tuff Products, Galco.
I got a DeSantis Nemnesis in 2004 for my Total Ti Protector .357 snub.
This sticky rubber material works very well.
Tuff Products sells holsters with added slots of 5/6 rounds strips.
A few safety orange or black strips are never a bad idea to have when you pack a 5 shot snub.
They also fit snug in a tin Altoids mint case.

Nothing's as good for pocket carrying a revolver than a Mika. Get the square bottom one so you'll have both.

As mentioned before, leather carry, either on the belt, or in the pocket might not always be your only solution.

You have other options, check it out.
