Mark,
I prefer to carry my EDC revolver in a Mika pocket holster in my strong hand front pocket. I have a Mika for each handgun that may be front pocket carried. I'm not as much worried about speed as concealment and having it with me when I may need it. OWB is a very handy holster choice if you can conceal it.

I have a leather pancake holster for my 9mm that holds very close to the body. It does well even with a loose-fitting T-shirt. The pistol is only just under one inch thick though. Probably not going to be the case with a revolver depending on which one. I think the smaller ones come in at just under 1.5 inches thick. Might be ok.

Also in my past experience the Smith Bodyguards had horrible triggers. But maybe they have changed
I handled a Bodyguard as well. Did not seem to well made to me. So, we passed on it.

Al,ou
I haven't had too many other brand pocket holsters, I think one is a DeSantis. I don't remember who put me onto Mika holsters, but it was a personal recommendation. Bob Mika makes each one for your order rather than generic size ranges. His form to the gun very well as time goes on. They also stay open in the pocket to allow for reholstering pretty well.

I have the DeSantis Gunhide Superfly pocket holster for my CC semiauto. The fly panel hides the outline of the pistol/holster. From outside the pants pocket it looks like a square wallet in your pocket.

To back up a bit, A couple of the revolvers in the pics I previously posted are beyond my price range. I just thought it might be interesting for some of you to see the asking price on those models. Sometimes, like when I bought two of my Henrys from them, they came down a pretty good amount on the price because I paid cash. If/when I make a choice, maybe they'll do the same for handguns. Will have to see.
Unfortunately, I'm getting a bit of...let's say "Domestic Resistance" re: the purchase. 🙄

Can understand. My wife and I came to an agreement of a spending gap, without discussion a purchase with the other of $1,000 or less. After I told her that I spent $750 for a Henry, she wanted to reduce the spending gap to $500 or less. I honestly don't know what the issue is about a firearm. She purchased one herself. I guess it is the amount. I once mentioned to one of the owners of a LGS about having enough firearms. He said that it is no such thing. When the safe gets full, buy another safe. Well, I did purchase a small safe.
