Concealed carry with S&W 686 Plus 3"

I purchased at Buds Gun Shop a new S&W 686 Plus 3". It is pending to ship. I am very excited for it, I love revolvers and many times carry my S&W J frame 642. I believe I should be able to carry the 686 on a good IWB holster at about 2:30 PM. Any suggestions or comments?

From my experience the 686 is much bulkier than the J Frame 642. I too purchased a 686+ 2.5" from Bud's. It's a great extremely reliable revolver, but extremely uncomfortable to carry IWB. I wound up having a custom made OWB holster made and carry the 686 when I'm wearing an untucked shirt or a jacket. I'm 5'11", 205, medium build. Never had a problem carrying anything else IWB, but the 686 is just a bit too bulky.
