Finding a holster for a 686 6 inch is almost impossible. No luck so far.

Yup we can certainly do a sw 686 Holster, however the holster would be the 4" length with open bottom to fit longer lengths.

Thanks. But looking for 6 inch Kydex for drawing and shooting. No open bottom.

Safariland does a kydex open front version too.
(I special ordered mine in through 911supply)

You can always borrow my speedloaders and holder too. (There are 2 others that are sharing it right now)

Open front holsters do not comply with IDPA rules....

Just a word of caution on Blade tech holsters......I hope you like scratches!
I purchased one for my Stainless GP100 which i have used once a month for the last 3 years in competition.
I find the revolver draws really well and i like it for competition but i have a tonne of scratches on the barrel
from going in and out. I am past caring what the revolver looks like since its staying with me but thought i should post on it.
I dont seem to be getting dirt in the holster, it think it just scratches from the kydex material itself.

Yes that is correct, I was going to add that note, but I know the other guy looking for holsters is not using it for IDPA.

 

[SUPER TENERE]

Thanks on the Blade Tech in stock. Will order. Thanks for the speed loader offer but my GP100 speed loaders are the same as the 686 ones. The Blade Tech is not an Open Front. I've used 3 Blade Tech holsters with my Stainless guns and never had a problem with scratches. Scratches are easy to buff out on Stainless guns.

Up against way faster autos, faster to reload, and holding 10 rounds not six, a 686 seems peculiar. The 6" barrel & holster makes it hard to conceal too. Add in at least 4 to 5 Safariland Competition III loaders on your belt, and what's the advantage?

At the very least, if you must use the 686, wouldn't the 4.2" version be a better choice?
