I have been carrying my PT145 in a fobus paddle holster. However, I recently picked up a Smith 686 with a 2.5 inch barrel and have been considering carrying it. Well, I ran into a good deal on a Milt Sparks IWB called the #1 Heritage. Holy COW!!!!!! I never knew IWB could be this comfortable.
It looks like I'll be carryiong the 686 for primary carry loaded with .357 Gold Dot, and I'll have my new Smith 642 for pocket carry, loaded with +P. I'm a happy guy, and my life will now rely on wheel guns!!!

Good job, Todd. You cannot go wrong with a quality sixgun. Glad you found a good rig too.
Six for sure.

Ah.....Milt Sparks....I have mine on now. I just sat in the theatre for three hours with a Summer Special 2 and never thought about it once.

That is an excellent carry rig. I like my revolver for carry too & JLaw is exclusively wheel carry unless he has changed lately. That was a great find. Congrats.

Nope, not yet. 99.9% revolver. Carried the Smith 908 9mm one day a few weeks back just because I could. Isn't freedom great?!

Congratulations. There's nothing like finding a more confortable
holster option.
But if you think *that's* comfortable, take it a step further and try my
carry method.
I carry my SP-101 IWB with nothing more than a clipdraw:

I know alot of pistol fans will howl, but wheel guns are the way to go!
Does That Really Work???

I'd be constantly checking to see if it was still there. I can't keep my shirt tail from riding up my back even when I have suspenders on! I'd end up leaving my weapon in someone's seat cushions for sure...
But maybe it works for you slim guys.

I'm hardly slim, and never have a problem with it shifting. There's
no difference from having an IWB holster, except no holster.

Somehow I totally missed that this was IWB...got the idea into my head it was SOB. Looks like a great idea for the minimalists out there.
Wow

I actually carried my 686 for a couple of days without a holster, IWB. It was extremely uncomfortable! Well, if you like it... :^)
I am going to take a picture of this rig, with the gun in it, and one with it on, so you guys can see perfection in action.
