Default concealed holster for a 686+

I bought my first S&W 686+ 3" & would like to carry it concealed.
Anyone have suggestions about what do you consider is a good concealed left handed holster for me. I live in a must carry concealed state.

I'm around 5'11"+ & quite slim & carry my G19 ITW so the size & weight's not too much of a burden. But is there a type of holster that isn't ITW but up on my hip or side?

Congrats on a sweet piece. It sounds like you want an OWB High-Ride. There's a lot of them out there. It just depends on how high of a ride you want, and your budget. Happy Shopping.

I carry my 4 inch S&W Model 65-1 square butt in a Bianchi Model 7 that conceals easily under a Hawaiian or untucked dress/casual shirt. The holster will take an L-frame, but it will be snug at first. You’ll have see if they make it for a 3 inch.

So far, I've checked out all three responses & have sent out inquiries. Please keep these responses coming. Other than the rig I wore in the 70's, it's been cheap & plain. Trying to upgrade my accessories & treat my new Smith asd it deservers.

Suggest Bianchi X15 Shoulder Holster... Works for me, even as a lefty...

BTW, I can even use my N-Frame 627PC in it. Not quite as tight, but tight/secure enough.

I carry mine in an IWB from Lobo Gunleather. Very comfortable, and stable. I had them add inner and outer hammer ears to keep from snagging clothing, and to keep it from snagging my kidney.
