IWB holster for Speed Six?

JJ45 · October 9, 2019, 02:42 PM

Thinking of carrying my Ruger 2.75 inch, 357 Speed Six IWB

I have a Simply Rugged Sourdough pancake that conceals very well under sweat shirts and such but prints a bit under a T-Shirt. This holster is marked S&W K so SR sells this model if you order it for the Ruger. No problem though as it fits well.

My question; The Speed Six is no light weight at about 33 oz unloaded so some who carry a lighter snubby may not be familiar. Does anyone carry a similar weight and barrel length revolver IWB? If so, what holster would you recommend? Also, do you favor appendix carry, X draw or strong side hip?....Thanks, JJ

Shtf gear before they became black arch made an IWB hybrid. I bought one and my speed six will fit in it, but its a little loose.

This guy makes them too for the gp100: https://www.concealmentsolutions.com...k_mamba_ce.htm

I'm thinking might as well just go with one for a Smith K frame holster for 2.5"

I carry the same sized Security Six OWB when I'm in the woods. It's a very heavy piece and fat too. No way I'd want to carry it IWB.
