Great little pocket holster from Ace Case.

Always looking for a better way to carry my pocket pistols, I ordered two of these little buggers right away. They came today, and since I had a snow day from work, I decided to give it a carry test. I couldn't be more satisfied.
My biggest concern with most pocket holsters is that despite their advertising claims they still print "gun" in even the loosest fitting clothing. I've tried all of the Uncle Mike's and several others, and with the exception of a generic wallet I got from an auction a while back, I've never been happy with them. Since the reason I carry a pocket pistol is that it is small enough to be unnoticeable, I want somethng that will mask all outline of my gun, and still be small enough to fit in my pants pocket. This is it.
What makes the Ace Case holster so good, it that it is made of very durable cordura material, and has a reinforcing band around it that makes the holster very stiff. Placed in the pocket, it prints "wallet" if it can be detected at all. The liner is smooth, and the gun slips in very easily, and is held in place by that tight, stiff band.
Oh yeah....and it cost six bucks!!!
This holster is just about perfect for the J-22. I also tried it on several other pocket guns, including the Raven, the Galesi, and the Lorcin L-25. Perfect. NO print, easy to access and draw, fits in both the front and back pocket of jeans and Dockers, and protects the gun well. It also worked very well for my S&W 38 snubnose revolver. Althought the grips project from the fabric, they do so at an angle that is unoticeable in the pocket.
The holster did not work so well for my Jimenez JA-380 and my Davis P380 though. These guns are thicker and fill the entire holster, and subsequently printed their outline in my pocket. Their outline is barely detectable, but that is enough for me not want to use it with those guns.
