I am asking for some help. I have owned lots of smiths but I have neverr carried one (except J frames for ccw.

I have came across a model 19 that is the best shooting gun I have owned in over 35 years of active shooting and I intend to carry this gun if I can.

I like am like everone else and have about a thousand dollars in holsters in a box. Some fit the 19 some dont. It is amazing how many auto holsters that fit the model 19 just fine...but I do digress...anyway, I am asking for advice on this from some of you revolver ccw folks please.

I am 5 9 kinda fat at 200 with an average build I do wear suite coats a lot so I can do this. The darn grips I think could be made smaller, but they are Harriets and the shooting stars which fit my hand like a glove...maybe I just need to get used to carrying a revolver..but if any one has a favorite holster for this model for ccw please let know.
Thanks
 
I use a Kramer Belt Scabbard. Been carrying S&W L or N frames.
Never liked shoulder rigs. Guns pointing at person behind ya. Drawing points gun muzzle at everyone in a 90 degree arc as you swing to the target. Can't take coat off while seated.
 
19...
Good gun.
Friendly and shoot well for nearly anybody.

You don't say what grip shape or barrel length.

I carry shorter K frames in OWB, high rise, FBI cant... at 4 and 8 O'clock.
And the 2 1/2" round butts in same plus pocket holsters, front or rear.

6" concealed goes in vertical, clamshell shoulder holster or holster sewn into high inside of coat....like suit coat inside pocket only improved.

The best I've found so far, and I too have that great box of leather, is the Texas Heritage tuckable IWB from Tucker Gunleather . I am really pleased with this holster. It allows you to tuck a shirt in over it if needed without a coat, or to have it exposed when you're wearing a jacket. It hides well, the belt hooks are spaced widely apart so there is a gragual rise instead of the big hump of many IWB holsters.

Love them 4" M-19s. Now if I could only find a way to conceal this one.

M-19 that always seems to print????
