Default 686 7-shot snubbie holsters?

Who makes a good holster for the 7-shot cylinder on a 686-4 2-1/2" snubbie? I'm assuming cylinder is same size, just 7 holes, so maybe an unfluted cylinder holster would work too?

You are correct, the 7-shot cylinder is the same diameter as the 6-shot models, and a holster formed for the unfluted cylinder will work just fine.

I have the same gun and same question.

The Galco Speed Master Paddle is what I like...it does not come in 2.5" but it does come in 3". I am thinking this might work.

Anyone ever use the 3" Galco SM Paddle for a 2.5" bbl?

Ray (Lobogunleather) can make you a nice one. I am carrying my Performance Center L-Comp (586+) in a Don Hume JIT Belt Slide as I type this.

I use a Galco Speedmaster/Combatmaster (whatever they are calling it this week ) with my 2" Model 64. Works just fine other than being too long.

Glad you said that, I've ordered one from him for my 5" unfluted 686+.

Hoser- Did you decide on a holster?

Anyone have experience with a Safariland?
