I just got a new Bianchi Cyclone 111 (my sixth) for my Ruger GP 100-44s 3 inch
from Amazon...the S&W 686 3 inch was on the list for the same holster.
I have several older Bianchi 111s from time before they were made in mexico. MY older ones are suede lined...the latest one...not sure what to call it....but its not suede...closer to a smooth leather....the fit is perfect! I like the two way belt slots....strong side/cross draw. The one my S&W 686 4 inch rides in is so old....it only has belt slots for cross draw. Which works for me...use it when I am driving.

I was concerned about carry for my new 686 2.5", so I ordered an inexpensive test holster, a JIT. I am carrying for the 3rd day in Fl Keys. It's hot. I'm wearing a tee shirt. It doesn't show at all. It's also very comfortable. I had been carrying a 640 iwb and didn't really know what to expect. This is a pleasant surprise to be able to carry owb in an inexpensive holster. I am looking at a smaller grip but that's a different story.

Just a tip: If the holster you are considering is tightly boned, make sure that it is specifically for the 7-shot L-frame, as the cylinder flutes are in a different position than one for a 6-shot.
Adios,
Pizza Bob

I'm using Warbird leather for my owb. It's spice brown with tobacco elephant. My iwb Holster is from Wright Leather Works. Love them both.
