Holster for 686 3"

Simply Rugged vs. Lobo

For a very well made functional holster in leather that you can customize to your personal needs call Simply Rugged. They state 3 weeks out for production, I usually get mine in half that time. Another Forum member already mentioned is Lobo, a cut above SR and you will wait 3 weeks aprox. His hand made custom pancake holsters are beautiful for both fit and finish. Keep in mind that either will have a break in period so I go along with the others that recommend getting something cheap to make do then order a nice leather holster from Lobo you will both like and be proud to strap on your side. Lobo is all about custom work and is very detailed oriented so in the end there is no question you will have the perfect fit for your M686 3" which I would guess he has made more than a few of. Pictured is a Lobo custom pancake holster with easy snap on and off belt loops. It could have been further customized for my M66 2.5". Ray is a super guy to work with and I promise you won't be disappointed. This was my first order with him and there will be more to come after this. Good Luck
P.S. I forgot to mention as I should have being so satisfied in their grips/stock, by Ahrends.

FWIW,this thread started FOUR YEARS AGO next week! Apparently the OP found his holster since he hasn't been back on the forum since April 2011! And he didn't even say thanks. :rolleyes:
f.t.
 
How about the 3" 686+ with an unfluted cylinder? Just purchased a Talo edition .357 series and looking for holster recommendations. And I will say thanks!

I would say look at the Simply Rugged website, They are a custom shop in Arizona, their turn around time is about a week right now. I have about 7 of their pancake holsters for various models and barrel lengths. Couple the holsters with a great belt, and you have a rig you can wear all day and forget you have it on. I've tried a lot of the big name production holsters, I have a draw full of them now, once I went to simply rugged I never looked back.
