Need Holster for a 696

[David Kachel]

I can't find anything anywhere. Hoping someone here can help:

IWB holster for a 3" Model 696 (L frame)

Please don't tell me about the one you have. That doesn't help much if they don't make them any more. I need to know about the one you know the XYZ company is selling right now. Seems all those great models that have been mentioned here in the past have been discontinued.

I HAVE TO RUN AND TELL MY WIFE. SHE CAN'T INTERFERE WITH PROBABILITIES AND CHANCE!

I had to have the holster for my 696 custom made. They took the pattern for a 4" 686 and shortened it about an inch. The holster maker was in Campbell, California. The name escapes me, but I can drive by the shop and get the name and phone number. I'm sure that anyone that makes holsters for a 4" 686 can also shorten the pattern and make a holster for a 3" 696.

Someone must have rushed in and grabbed them all since you posted. Can't find even one. But thanks for the heads up.

ENH,

I can't find any summer specials on their web site.
Did you perhaps mean this:

?

Yes that's the one. With the cylinder out of the pants it should be very comfortable. Little higher will also make for better concealment I believe. They take some breaking in and I recomend you order their Draw eze also.

Are those IWB holsters?

 

[TN RAT]

They look like belt slide, or outside waistband to me.

Any further info on the Andrews that makes those? They are very nice.

Milt Sparks VersaMax II. Yes, that's a 396 in the photo, but the holster was made for a 696. Shown with the optional kydex clips to allow tucking your shirt over the top.
