daily carry IWB // 6' 4" , 250 lbs
Hello friends and neighbors // I am 6'4" , 250 lbs. //
I can get away with 6" S&W 586 , 357 IWB. I wear size 40 waist but buy size 42.. ///
I am looking at three smaller revolvers (3" or less) and will switch to one of these later this month.
For now this is what I am used to:
S&W 586 : 357/38, 6" / With very thin hogue grips. I like blued for SD/HD because nickle or stainless reflects more light and can make you a target.
Revolver IWB (left side with butt toward belly for cross draw ) , speed loader in left hand cargo pocket protected with a handkerchief // Case with little lady, sometimes in right hand cargo pocket but mostly stays in glove box. (does not hold tampons).// All three contain Corbon 357 125gr JHP .(total 25; 6 in revolver/6 in speed loader/ 13 in case w/ little lady)
Cell phone in red belt pouch and flashlight with whistle in black belt pouch, left side, adds bulk above and behind revolver imprint.
Swiss army knife, left front pocket. Extra bootlaces as lanyard for S.A.K. hang out of pocket.// Draws attention away from pistol print and gives easy access to knife. Most people only know I carry S.A.K. and think of it as multi tool not weapon.
Gerber folding knife, right hip pocket under wallet.
In S.C. cargo shorts and wind breaker can be worn from April til November. This configuration allows use of right side front, cargo and left hip pocket for misc. daily needs. (camera,gum....) Also allows me to hug others as they aviod cell phone, flashlight area .
///// I think I need a flashlight with push button on/off switch instead of twist action.//// Also need slim digital camera w/ video.
