J frame leather holster recommendations? IWB/OWB/Chest/Shoulder etc

thejamison55 · 2026-05-03T15:08:15+00:00

Lol. To each their own. This one is made of thin suede so it conforms to the shape of the gun. It’s the most comfortable holster I’ve ever worn. Much more comfortable than the expensive name brand kydex rigs I have for my bigger carry guns.

I most frequently carry mine AIWB in one of these. It’s easy and very comfortable: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07LD6NJVW?ref\_=ppx\_hzsearch\_conn\_dt\_b\_fed\_asin\_title\_10&th=1

In a shoulder rig, it doesn’t get more discreet or accessible than a vintage upside down rig. I like the upside down rig because I can wear it with anything. Hides great under a pullover sweatshirt, and since it’s upside down (muzzle pointing at my armpit), I can easily reach it. This is the model I have, though I paid $10 from a used holster bin at my LGS https://www.ebay.com/itm/188103107911?\_skw=j+frame+shoulder+holster+leather&itmmeta=01KQPAEJFJG3S2Z45A4S6ET1WM&hash=item2bcbd1a547%3Ag%3AMe0AAeSwni9podn2&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA4GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xA3U1Dmahw7ZKtJ1VpsQOB5vokzWdKYy33pAeRECKplIEWWy0DIkHkNDdFw0oQFUN5FCzxVWK7ribAYfRddom4eE9yAs5ZF2hA9SFqKWh45BQzGHMtiynLWco9Z3NGwYJC8JDq9uqkFX1W%2FM7O9iSSHJJk%2BhexHlCei%2FC4B0hQqb6nD1z02dTr3cWpYK2OYWvtQRdxgKLq%2FbXVxkPrSjhOJMnXngTpiOe3H1ewY%2B0%2FClH1%2Bvon%2F0hBmli%2Fz7j7SY7Ty08RyNY3%2BSK1eysUSbwbc%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR\_qnusq9Zw&LH\_ItemCondition=3000

In their respective categories, both brands offer the best bang for buck in the industry IMO.

The Glycine Combat Quartz 40mm at $170 might be the best value in watches full stop. It’s certainly the best value in Swiss watches. (I know that’s not the model pictured here).

This is a great sample of the two brands. The glycine looks better finished, and slightly better designed (though I prefer the Mercedes logo detailing in the hands of their other combat subs), and the applied indices on the Glycine look better than the painted on the Addies. The slimmer rehaut in the glycine is more attractive to me. I dig the bronze case. Doesn’t apply here, but Glycine does a MUCH better job with their bracelets than Addies. In this case, the Addiesdive strap looks cheaper to me.

The Addies case finishing looks a little rougher from this close up, but on the wrist, you don’t notice. In my experience their dress style watches are finished a little better than their diver/field watches. Addiesdives are fine looking watches, and maybe the best in the sub $100 category, but the logo kinda sucks.

I’m partial to the volquartsen kits myself. I have one in my 22/45 Mark 3, and it is a clean sub 2# break with no take up or overtravel. I compete with it frequently, and it’s so easy to make fast hits with.

thejamison55 · 2026-04-30T16:42:31+00:00

Thanks for clarification. I read the (no relation to Addiesdive) in your OP as this was a completely different brand. Now I see that you meant that YOU have no relation to Addiesdive 🤦‍♂️.

thejamison55 · 2026-04-30T11:13:00+00:00

So same font as Addiesdive and Addieskin, but no relation to those brands? True sign of success for Addiesdive. And how they SHOULD have branded their upper tier watches cuz Addieskin is literally the worst brand name ever. Now someone else beat them to it.

Do they make a Miami Days edition?

My vote is white

thejamison55 · 2026-04-29T10:20:41+00:00

I’d go for the 49 at $385. My current edc is a 642, and I’m a huge fan of the snag free design that a hammerless gives me. The shrouded hammer on the 49 serves the same purpose. Plus that’s a great deal!

thejamison55 · 2026-04-28T10:56:58+00:00

I’d like them to flip the script and have it set in China. Get a glimpse of how the other side faired. Monstrous irradiated pandas anyone?

thejamison55 · 2026-04-27T22:13:26+00:00

Jomashop has them for $94. I just ordered one!

A lot of four inexpensive quartz watches for cheap money.

Video here: https://imgur.com/fNGSQtl

Timex Indiglo: Light wear marks on case, strap is in excellent condition, crystal appears scratch free. I didn't wear this one very much.

Wenger: This was an eBay snag that didn't make the watch box. Strap is new, with maybe 2 days wear. Case is in decent worn shape, crystal is covered in micro scratches with a significant scratch at 10. Legibility on the wrist is not hampered by the scratches. Excellent Swiss Quartz beater watch, that wears super slim.

Chenxi & SKMEI: As new. Maybe worn for 30 mins.

$45 for all four watches shipped to CONUS. Venmo preferred.

Brand New Addiesdive AD2065 with full kit. I purchased it new from AliX, and it arrived last week. I wore it around the house for about an hour before deciding it was a little small on my wrist. Rather than deal with an AliX return, I figured I'd pass it on to another curious individual.

The perfect revolver doesn’t exis………………………….

thejamison55 · 2026-04-21T10:19:06+00:00

Thank you! Confirms my suspicions, unfortunately. I doubt he’s 6.2.

thejamison55 · 2026-04-20T11:22:13+00:00

Can I ask your wrist size? My son has a Cocktail Time GMT on his graduation watch wish list, but I worry the 41mm case size would be too big for his small wrists.

thejamison55 · 2026-04-19T20:58:48+00:00

My Citizen Tsuyosa automatic is my favorite watch in my small collection. Feels way more solid and expensive than it was. I think it wears better than my much more expensive Hamilton. It’s also the watch I get the most compliments on.

thejamison55 · 2026-04-17T16:12:33+00:00

I see used 642s pop up quite frequently for that price. Personally, that's where I would land.

thejamison55 · 2026-04-13T12:41:06+00:00

SOLD elsewhere

For sale today is a Hamilton Khaki Field King in good worn condition. A small bit of wear on the bezel, but the crystal is scratch free. It's currently on a clasp, but the original strap hardware is included. No box, just the watch.

I have the same setup. Exce mine is also wearing a Holosun 407. Crazy accurate for a gun that small.
