Holster for 686 2.5"

[66Dreamer]

Finding a used holster for the L frame in leather has been quite hard. I do see lots of K frame for the 66 snubs out there. Will an L frame fit in a K frame holster?

I got a thumb break scabbard from desantis and I like it.... here is the desantis gun selector page

a L frame will probably not fit in a K frame holster.

No it doesn't fit properly but you can sometimes squeeze them in. If you're looking for inexpensive there are bianchi IWB clip holsters at cheaper than dirt for like 15 fyi.

Can I get a pic of your gun in the holster? Would like to get an idea of the width and how substantial the whole rig is.

I can get a pic, but it may not be today... my holster is actually for a 3 inch barrel. but there probably isnt a really noticable difference...

here is the pic, this is my 2.5 inch 686 in a 3 inch holster... The CD in the picture is just for another size reference.. I use this holster for my M65 most of the time, so a K frame fits snugly in it also....

Galco Holster, can't recall the model, but if you want it, let me know and I'll dig it up.

Thanks to all for the pics. That Desantis looks like what I am looking for. You guys are great.
