Today I was overcome by an orphan S&W 686 Plus 3" revolver on the way to the office to pick up my patrol car and go on my merry way spreading joy and good will. I started looking for a holster online after I got off and did not find much of anything. Do any of the experts have some suggestions on holsters ?

I'm only expert on what I like, but I have a Milt Sparks IWB in black horsehide for my 4" 620 that's very nice and fits perfectly. The rub is the price and the wait; 7 months in my case.
I also have a silver dollar pancake by Simply Rugged for my M63 that's a peach, cost just $90, including the optional strap and IWB straps, and took just a couple of weeks to get. It works strong-side, crossdraw, and IWB. Pretty sure they make a similar rig for the L-frame as well. Might ask Santa for one myself for my 620. Excellent stuff. A bonus is that some models will fit a set of straps that convert them to a tanker-style rig for field carry.
What fresh Hell is this?

It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...

Here's a 686 Plus 3" and Simply Rugged pancake holster / Chesty Puller harness. I specified 3" barrel on the order and there's enough length to take a 4" as well. I suspect his pattern is for the 4" L frame. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a612/pre64model70/Mobile%20Uploads/20161020_200224_zpsetm9prnu.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1286.photobucket.com/albums/a612/pre64model70/Mobile%20Uploads/20161020_200314_zpsnr5rpv4j.jpg)

Nice!
I need to get the CP straps for my Soudough and 3.75" SBH.

I suspect his pattern is for the 4" L frame. simply Rugged makes a great holster. I bought a S&W 69 (4", 44 Mag., L-Frame) and couldn't find a holster from Galco, etc. so I ordered a simply Rugged. Very satisfied.

If you go to their website, watch the video demonstration of the owner putting on the chest rig. Pretty funny.

Thanks ! Very much ! I have been busy and have not been back on the Campfire since I asked y'all on the 19th. I will look at the options suggested and try to see how soon I can get one of these.
Good Shooting !
Marcus.
