S&W Model 669 CCW holster

bwillis · #1 12-18-2010, 02:30 AM

So I just picked up an S&W 669 9mm today, and after looking around online for the last 90 minutes or so, I have been able to find very few concealed carry holsters for this handgun. The few I have seen have been a basic leather or nylon sleeve with a clip that goes on your belt. Does anyone know where I can find a good quality IWB holster for this pistol, or where I can get one made? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Doing a quick search I found that Don Hume, Fist, DeSantis and ElPaso all list holsters to fit the 669. You can also use a holster listed for the 6904 or 6906 if you don't find a listing for the 669, they are essentially the same pistol that S&W made engineering changes to and renumbered.

The 6904/6906 came with 2 different style trigger guards - larger square and the smaller round. A 6904/6906 holster will fit if you get a holster that specifies for the larger square trigger guard on the 6904/6906. A holster for the round trigger guard 6904/6906 may or may not fit depending on the holster.

Try lobo gun leather. This is the most comfortable IWB I ever used. Easy on/off...and the rear clip really pulls the butt in close. A lot of people don't like clips because they say the holster comes out with the gun...but that is usually because they have a cheap clip. And even with a clip. a decent belt is necessary to support the weight...and helps lock the clip on.

Sip...Is that IWB design actually in production? Or is that a prototype? I thought Ray was waiting on some clip supplier issues. That's the next one for my 3913!

Dave, he was waiting on clips but I think you can order one in the meantime...he has stated that due to the clip shortage of 2010, you may have to wait a little longer than normal...but it will be worth it...btw, this a prototype...the clips are supposedly better quality (although this one works fine) and I think they will be black instead of chrome...and of course the leather will be more polished/finished...

I took a few quick shots to show you how it rides...sorry about the blur but my wife wasn't too into taking the shot for "my other family" as she calls the forum.....

Ray does a great job on holsters. When he gets a mold for my CZ75B I am going to order one from him. My 6900 series guns currently ride in a Kramer #3 IWB or a Milt Sparks VM-2. Might work for you as well.

Galco Summer Comfort IWB is a perfect for it.
You can also use any holster fitted to the Sig P6/P226.
The Sig has a square trigger guard nearly identical to the 669.
You can find them on e-bay for around $15-$20

Thank you for all your assistance. I will definitely look into all options suggested

I just picked up a 669 the other day in MINT condition for 350.. lookin for a good IWB holster or even a decent OWB holster.. it should fit pretty well with the P226 Holsters? Almost identical? even kydex and molded ones and such?
