Just got my 686 and need to find a holster for it. What does everyone use?

I had holsters made for my 4 inch 586 and 686. Cost 60 bucks from a local semi retired holster maker. Maybe inquire around for local leather workers at the area gun stores?

Here's a 7-shot 686 Mountain Gun in a Bianchi 111 Cyclone for carrying while I am hunting in thick woods. I haven't carried it in the field, yet, but it fits nice and snug and the trigger is well covered.

Might want to state type of holster wanted and barrel length.

Sorry, you're right - that might help!!

It's a 3" and probably IWB. I use Remora IWB for my polymer guns, but there's something about a stainless revolver in leather that just looks right. I know nothing about leather holsters, so any advice is appreciated!

I'm a big fan of the Wild Bill's Concealment Covert Carry.

It's well made, stays open inside the waistband with the revolver removed, is a touchable design, and the offset clip keeps the profile thin, and helps keep the butt tucked in close to your hip.

They come in a natural finish, but take on a nice tan color with some use, and there's no issues with dye transfer and no need to wax it.
