Default Kydex Holsters for 686 3" or 4"

Anyone know anyone who makes kydex holsters for the 686 3" or 4"? They are difficult to find.

JM Custom Kydex

You can see some images of work he recently completed for me, (including an AIWB holster for a 3" 686+), here.

With everybody and their brother making Kydex holsters, I prefer to get mine from a tried & true source: Blade Tech.

They make their classic OWB holster for both the 3" & 4" guns, in both the 6-shot and 7-shot configuration. They also allow you to choose the belt attachment method. Quality holster from a quality manufacturer with terrific CS.

Adios,

Pizza Bob

Pizza Bob, in an abundance of caution, I can assure you and anyone who is not familiar, that JM Custom Kydex not only is the subject of a thread by enthusiastic customers of over 100 pages...but Tony's products are used by some of the most respected folks and names in the firearms, military and law enforcement communities.

I have no affiliation with JMCK beyond being a happy, paying customer.

I would have liked to have added a recommendation for another maker I have great respect for but at the moment I don't think he is producing L frame holsters.

Fobus also has a couple options if you are looking for a basic OWB paddle holster. I picked up one that fits 4", which works for either my 5" or 3" Talo 686.
