Amazing......I'm thinking of switching to a .22 for sometime carry (see thread on that subject) and you folks are carrying tanks on your belts.
Someone please explain how you dress to conceal these guns. Heck, I'll start a new thread on it. I don't even carry 2" K frames because they're hard to hide. I GOTTA KNOW!!!

The man who posted the photos MADE that holster. He is an excellent craftsman.

Whether I'm in jeans or shorts I wear a t-shirt and an untucked, unbuttoned shirt draped over the gun. You can hide ANY handgun that way. I carry a 3" N frame 44 Special with large wood grips in a high ride, leather, belt slide holster at 3 o'clock.
I work from home and haven't dressed formal in 20 years.

My large frame revolvers are 27 and 28. The .45 cal. guns are lighter. I have no issues with 3 1/2" and 4" barrels, but I do like round butt guns for carry.
An old West Texas city cop friend carried a 25 in 45 ACP stuffed with Auto-rim ammo. I always thought it a wise choice for city officers. Reloads in those days were not much of an issue provided dum-dum types were avoided. He used a Keith style bullet.
Seems to me that a 3 1/2" inch fixed sight, round butt ..45 ACP/auto-rim would be about ideal.

Most folks know how I feel about the 4" "N" frame in 45 ACP. I built one prior to S&W making the Mountain Revolver and eventually got a 22-4 to augment it from time to time.
Here is the original in a Bianchi 5BH. Carried it that way until I got a Safariland equivalent holster. Sometime in a Simply Rugged Pancake.
