Holster is a Lobo
Knife is a 5.11 Tarani that I got at a really good closeout price...it is actually a really good knife.

That works!!

Well-done!

Nice choice.

Looks like a good rig and revolver.

Thanks, guys. I also sometimes carry a fullsize 1911 or M&P9. I carry them both IWB. This is definitely more comfortable, but I have to admit I miss having more ammo capacity, and easier reloads when I carry the 686. I will probably get flamed...but it's just how I feel.

To each there own.
I carry a 640 pro and two sets of moonclips for reloads.
May not have the high capacity or quick reloads but I would hope after the first shot sends the carjacker, mugger, etc to the ground any accomplice will start running.
And if not 4 more rounds of .357 should be enough to make a difference.
So I'd be confident in what you could do with two more shots in each cylinder.

Whatever works for you is a good choice. I've always been a big proponant of revolvers for concealed carry. You have a nice setup there and no one who has ever carried a firearm for serious social work will never flame you.

Thanks again, gentleman. What I need to do it shoot the ever-loving piss out of this thing. I shoot semi-autos a lot better than this snubby...but it is nothing that thousands of rounds of dry fire/live fire won't cure.

Also, I am carrying "Remington Home defense" .38 +Ps in this thing (I think they are just Golden Sabres". Everyone had good luck with these? Anyone have a link to some gel testing of them?

I like your set up. I have to ask -How and where do you conceal the speedloader case/holder? Seems kind of large for everyday unless you are out away from crowds and in the country. Just asking because I switched from a 9mm to a 36 and have been carrying speed strips and haven't figured out how to conceal loaders yet. Pocket carry doesn't work because my pockets are full.

I carry them in the 4 o'clock position (I AM LEFT HANDED -- the same as 8 oclock for a right hander). I am a large framed man. My every day dress is a un-tucked button-up collared shirt. I have no issues concealing the speed loader pouch.

And what brand is the speedloader holster, where'd you buy it?

Thanks.

It is HKS. About 15 bucks generally. It is made out of Hytrel plastic (I compare it to a hard rubber, I guess).

For speed strips, check the Tuff Products site for a low-key nylon belt pouch that will hold two strips. Attaching a not-so-great pic of mine below; pouch is to the left of the iPhone belt clip.

I use that same speed-loader holder as the OP, but in plain finish - also highly recommended! I'm a righty and position the loaders at about 2 o'clock or so - not an issue under either an untucked button-up shirt or an open fleece vest, sport coat, etc.

I think the 686-Plus is one of the best CCW guns out there in a real caliber.....I love my 38's, but the 3" 357 has been a serious tool for serious people for decades. I took mine to the range this week for some steel plate drills, and was immediately reminded what an absolutely amazing DA trigger this gun has. I love getting this revolver dirty!

Animal Mother-Hi! Which model Lobo holster is that? thanks, Dennis

Thanks for the reply.
I'm going to give it a try and see if it will work for me. I carry my 36 in a Bianchi 3s at 3 o'clock. The speed loaders just behind it might work. Thanks again

Model 1 with the Dual Carry option (Model 1-D)

How do you carry that speed loader holder and prevent it from printing?

I am 6 ft 3 in, and large framed. An un-tucked button up shirt has always done fine for me. This setup is not for everyone.

I don't know about the Remingtons, but Speer makes a 135 gr Gold Dot especially for short barrel guns, in both plus P and Magnum. They are well respected, and meet FBI protocol for penetration and expansion. The Magnums are reduced power, and should shoot well in the 686.
