I'm using this with a S&W M-19 w/ a 2.5" barrel. Great paddle holster, holds firearm very securely and the paddle is suede covered...no cold plastic pressed against you. I wear jeans 99% of the time so not having to wear a belt is a big plus. For CCW it's good with a jacket or sports coat since the holster rides very close to the person wearing it. Without a jacket it does 'bulge' a bit.
Pros: Very comfortable, well made, value for the $
Cons: Not the best CCW
