Default S & W 357 Magnum 686 6" holster

Any recommendations for a OWB S & W 686 6" barrel leather holster to wear at deer lease?

This is my suggestion as well. I have one for my 986 5" and like mine.

I have a Bianchi 5BHL thumb strap holster for mine. Works fine for the limited usage I give it.

EDIT: Reading the post just below got me wondering. I checked and mine is the Cyclone cross-draw model as well.

I use a Bianchi holster as well for carrying my Ruger Security Six while deer hunting, but I chose the Bianchi "Cyclone" cross draw. I'm left handed and it allows me to draw my sidearm with my rifle is slung on my left shoulder.

I have used a Bianchi 111 Cyclone cross-draw with thumb snap as a woods carry since the 1980s.

I use this one for my 629. A very well designed/made holster.

For OWB carry of my DA revolvers I've pretty much gone exclusively to the Simply Rugged sourdough pancake holster. It covers / protects the gun very well and snugs the gun in close to my side for secure retention.

I have them for my SP101, 3" 686, 4" 686, 4" Model 10, 4" 617 and 4" 629.

And yes it's comfortable and conceals well under a loose shirt.
