686 Performance Center Snub

My better half doesn't understand why I can't shoot skeet and hunt with a S&W Model 915.

Lol...my wife thinks the same way. She just REALLY enjoys making me smile.

Beautiful gun and fantastic shooting. By the way my wife got me one just like it for Fathers Day. It is fun to shoot and even more fun to clean.

I have the same model. My Texas Heritage IWB from Tucker is supposed to ship today. I'll post initial thoughts once I get it (wed?). I inquired of Privateer for an OWB, but was informed that he doesn't have a blue gun for that model; he said he would try to find one and let me know. I haven't heard back as of yet.

Thank you. I'm enjoying it very much!

Any luck with your holster coming in? Thoughts on it so far?

Hey everyone,
My wife was fantastic enough to hook me up with this beauty for Father's Day. I'm looking for some advice on a good quality holster for conceal carry (IWB, OWB or shoulder). Please let me know what you've had experience with...thanks

That is beautiful! I am former L.E. and always preferred Smith..too bad you are not near me here in Arizona, a friend from church used to be a welder etc and hurt his back so had to quit and had to do something so he took up leather work, he does BEAUTIFUL work ...I just had him do a shoulder holster for me for a PMR30, its terrific, better design than I have seen in other shoulder holsters I have seen, he hand forms the leather, double stitched, excellent....if you get me your email address I will send you some pictures of mine and put you in touch with him. I get nothing out of this, just trying to help you and him out....!

686+ is a great choice. I have a 686+ Talo with a 5 inch barrel. Love the piece. My first S&W revolver. Got to say their revolvers are great. Can't say the same about the Semi's .

Nice gun! Just wish they came with the Eagle SS grip like the 629.

It's a quality holster, but not for me. It is pretty soft and pliable, and doesn't give any resistance at all to pressure. I know it's not reinforced, but it's so soft that you can't holster the revolver without opening up your belt and pants because the cylinder hits the lip of the front opening and just won't budge otherwise.

I've been thinking about getting one of those 686+PC revolvers for myself, they are really nice.

And you have a wonderful wife.

That's too bad and the tough part about finding a great holster. I know it's all part of the "fun" but it can get pretty pricey pretty easily.

Seems to be a popular model of holster.

S&W PC Revolvers

I liked my 7-shot 686PC 357 mag so much, I had to get the 8-shot 327PC 357 mag. That was in additional to my 44 mag 629PC. Unfortunately, I had to replace the beautiful wood grips on the 44 with Hogue hand-saving grips. Love those S&W PC handguns. Holsters are respectively Bianchi, Desantis, and Galco. I prefer the thumb-break holsters and (unlike the Bianchi) and a covered trigger even though the hammer's covered by the thumb-break.
