How do you carry your M65 3"

[SLT223]

I've had one of these for years. Thinking about carrying it. What is your preferred holster and carry method.

OWB in a belt holster with an unbuttoned coverup shirt. DeSantis made a version of the Bruce Nelson #5 that fits a 3” K frame…I use one of those.

I don't have a 3 inch 65 (unfortunately) but I have a very similar gun that I do carry, a 2.75 Ruger Speed Six. The Ruger Six revolvers fit K frame holsters just fine, in fact the holster I use says K/S on the back which I'm assuming means K frame/ Six. It's made by Azula, they can be found on ebay and Amazon for around $40-50. I carry it appendix and with the right grips it disappears. The only thing I dislike is the cant isn't adjustable. It'd hide even better with a forward cant. My holster was originally for a 2 inch EAA Windicator that I traded away, which is K frame sized too. I found it worked perfect for my Speed Six so I just went with it. They sell actual 3 inch holsters too.

I've posted this before, for my 3" K Frame, Model 66...

OWB, have several. Usually variations of the pancake style. Keep it simple.

 

[lawandorder]

Inside waistband usually a Sparks Summer special, outside either a pancake or a PMK

 

[Fide686]

IWB kydex from PJ holsters, OWB Desantis pancake with no retention strap. All at 4:00. Stocks are Hogue synthetic Bantam for better grip with aging hands and no rash from exotic hardwoods against bare skin.

OWB-3 or 4 O'clock- Lobo Belt Slide (Federal 158 Grain LSWC-HP plus P)

 

[Baxter6551]

OWB in a DeSantis Speed Scabbard. Also have a Comtach kydex paddle for it. Have several of the DeSantis for different revolvers, J Frame and L Frame.
Sorry for picture orientation.

Sparks Summer Special since about 1987, before that a Bianchi Pistol Pocket... [see post #4]

I've carried a 3 inch M65 for quite a few years. My favorite mode of carry is in a OWB by Nixon Gunleather.

 

[Chuck Edwards]

I don't have a 3" M65, but I have 3" versions of the M10-7 and M64-6. Most of the time they're carried in a JMCK IWB#3, for OWB I use a Privateer Leather Highwayman. Right now it's the 64 in the IWB.

Don't own one but carried a 4" 65 as a duty weapon for years. Thumb break pancake. I need a 3" 357 like I need a hole extra hole in my head but if I was to find a reasonably good deal......

I carry my 65-3 3” at work in a Threepersons style holster at 4 o’clock. It conceals really well in under a sport coat.

 

[Stephanie B]

AIWB, in a JMCK kydex holster.

Depending --Carry mine IWB, OWB and Cross Draw depending on clothing, weather conditions etc. I have done a lot of practicing in front of a mirror and of course on the range. Each one has its place IMHO. Not to forget "shot placement is everything" no matter where your weapon comes from.

Sigh. My 3" 65 (as well as my 2 1/2" and 3" 66s) only ride in my safe.

 

[Norton 750]

Inside the waistband is about the only way I can hide anything since I am five foot five. Milt Sparks. But a shoulder rig for extended road trips.

 

[CH4]

Either in a Galco CM at 4 o'clock or in a Galco shoulder rig.

 

[deputydon]

Fully loaded !!!! ok, in a slide holster high & tight.
