I posted a thread a lil while ago asking if could carry this gun concealed. Results weren't great, but i wasn't expecting them to be, after all its a rather large gun. At any rate i bought a general purpose tagua holster for it, and i couldnt help but notice how close it put the gun to my side, for fun i threw my shirt over it and it works! This will be a future cc gun for me guys. I would still like to get one of S&W smaller .38spc revovlers too casue well, this revolver can only carry one way, and id like to be able to throw something in my gym shorts pockets.

The shirt would have to be a longer shirt (like the one im wearing), or when i raise my hands up like if i was trying to grab something, the barrel part of the holster sticks out. When both my arms are down, you cant see it there at all. Its not perfect, but i think i could get away with it.

For concealed carry of revolvers this size an inside waistband holster works well. Wearing a mod 19 on the outside requires a jacket or extra long shirt to keep the gun from being exposed when bend or reach. I carried a mod 19 for many years as a trooper. I wore a lot of Hawaian type shirts with their long tail o cover my gun.

Yeah, a regular shirt covers fine, then i have to reach to get something, luckily i own several long shirts. Took that gun out shooting for the first time over the weekend, .357 is a real hoot to shoot.
