Good day, purchased a 686 SS 2.5" a while back and wanted to find a comfortable iwb holster. I came across the add for SMARTCARRY and it is the most comfortable and practical holster that I ever tried for a 686 2.5". I just had to move the stitching on the top for the sight to fit perfectly. I don't know how to post picture here, if you go to SMARTCARRY.COM you can see how fantastic the design is for a larger revolver. Once in place you don't even feel the weight whether standing or sitting.
