New S&W 686+

Hey everybody. It's been quite a while since I've posted. I reinstalled the app yesterday and it's good to be back :).

I recently bought a S&W 686+ with a 3" barrel. I made a few modifications. I had night sights installed, Wolff spring kit, internal lock removed/plugged, and added VZ G10 grips. This is my favorite handgun I own. It shoots so smooth and is incredibly accurate. I load my own rounds for it and I'm smitten.

Can anyone recommend a leather concealment holster? I have a Galco for open/winter carry and it works great. I'm looking for something I can use for concealment.

Thanks in advance for the info and here's a picture of my new favorite. Y'all have a great weekend.

Beautiful revolver, there.

For the holster, are you considering IWB, OWB, appendix, shoulder carry?

Thanks amigo. IWB appendix if I can make it work.
can't contribute ref holster but want to say that I bought a 686+ w/4" barrel for my Wife - a very good pistol (we've left it stock)

I've got a couple of holsters from Jackson Leatherwork. (John Jackson, owner.) Fairly sturdy, good basic features, good prices for well-made products. I'd recommend him. Might not have your specific model of gun listed, but it would be worth asking if he could do the project.


A couple decades back, I had a "Pocket Softy" pocket holster from Mitch Rosen, for a S&W J-frame revolver. Was impressed. Probably the best-fitting holster I've ever used, even if "only" a pocket model. Good-quality stuff.
