I used to have a three-inch S&W M36. I may get another.

I also have a 640 Pro and it's a great shooter. It handles .357s well enough, but for actual carry I default to the incredible lightness of being that the 360PD provides.
It's my primary carry and always with me. I prefer AISW carry but can ankle carry if that's all that dress allows.
If it came to actual shooting I'd like to have this in the break front Don Hulme on my hip:
For better concealment but slower draw I can use this rig:
If I'm going to carry the model 69 .44 L frame I'll probably carry the 340 Pro in a left hand holster on the weak side to counteract the weight. I have also carried the 44 in a cheap Uncle Mike fabric holster AISW!
Not leaving the semi-autos out I have a 4040PD that is nice to carry concealed. Just the same as my 3913NL or my 3914LS but more power with the .40S&W. Here's my Shorty Forty in shoulder rig, It's still half a pound lighter than the .44 ( w/ 2 extra mags):

NEGATIVE Pocket Carry or Ankle Carry !
Real Life experiences has proven to me these are dangerous carry positions.

No. When I'm not in pocket carry mode, my 60 no dash is secure in a strong side high rise pancake, or a paddle that allows me to easily crossdraw when seated.

Here is my S&W Model 642-1 (no lock) with Uncle Mike's Spegel designed

The holster by Matt Del Fatti ASP-DD IWB has the offset
belt clip and shark trim.
Shark belt by Crescent.
Hornady Critical Defense .38 Spl. 110-Gr. FTX Standard Pressure.
Bianchi Speed Strip.

I'm surprised there isn't more Galco Summer Comforts being used. Very comfortable. The snaps are a little more involved to use, but it feels more secure to me. 4:00.

When I first got my 638 I carried it in a DeSantis pocket holster.
It was ok but not nearly as comfortable as a IWB holster I subsequently got. It's the only way I carry now.

had this guy made yesterday at the gun show. Seems like it is going to work out nice. I might have to trim it up a bit but the price was hard to beat.

AGREED!
My only drawback to pocket carry is when sitting it is almost impossible to get to the gun in a hurry.

That's another reason I carry Two J's one in the pocket one AIWB. Now that jacket weather is here I'll also slip one to a jacket pocket if in the car.

Until I found the Bianchi nylon fanny pack, with secret holster, I carried all of my firearms in a Safariland IWB suede holster. It was the most comfortable and inexpensive IWB holster available. They are still made by some reputable holster companies.

Delfatti makes great holsters. The ISP-DD is one of his best.
Here is my ISP-DD with shark trim carrying my model 642.

You probably have your Quick Clip by
now? How do you like it? There isn't
anything to not like. Here is a photo
of mine with my Taurus Model 85.
