Can a J frame airweight with the smaller factory sized LG405 criimson trace laser grips be concealed with a pocket holster in a front jeans pocket without showing? Or is there a J frame IWB that is out of sight under a belt line. Thanks

A third yes. There are some out there, but I was never very impressed with them and concealing below the belt line, so I kept no info or links. Why won't a normal IWB holster work? You can't wear a cover garment?
Here is another option.

Mika holsters are great for this. Depending on your pocket's depth, however, you could get a little grip showing. Depends on what pants your wearing as well as their size. It's very doable for most though.

I gave a call today to Robert from Mika's holsters and ordered a pocket J frame one. Was $21.95 delivered not bad.

The cheap Uncle Mikes pocket holster works fine for my "always" S&W 642. The gun is light enough and small enough for everyday carry. I usually carry the 642 even when I am carrying a larger gun. It's faster than a reload.

+1 uncle Mikes #3 under $10. I have 3 holsters for my J frame. This is my favorite.

I carry my model 60 in a Rough Out pocket holster of course I have made them to work with the CT grip.

Srigs, have you experimented with a snap on discretion shield for your pocket holsters? Could be a nice option to have. Some of my slacks print a bit but I'm playing with the idea of adding something to disrupt the outline.

I like the idea. I wear a Mika in lightweight pants, but prefer my SGH rough out when the pants are heavier b/c it secures the trigger much better. I'd use the SGH more if it had a "discretion shield."
