Need to find a holster for a 696.

I just bought a 696, I was wondering what would be a good holster for it, I prefer the blackhawk serpa type while hiking (mainly what this will be used for) but something in kydex or leather would work too. Thank you and God bless.

I took a Fobus holster for a 4" L frame and sawed off an inch or so. A trip to the hardware store for two teeny tiny screws and nuts, to replace the rivets on the end, and I had about $17.50 in the set up.

I do have to say that Ray Cory of LoBoGunleather makes a beautiful holster for the 696. And I think Lefty from Bell Charteroak has a neat one too.

I use an Andrews Custom Leather pancake.

Mickey, what kind of stocks are those?

The 642 is wearing Craig Spegel boot grips. The 696 are boot grips from the S&W site store.

Here is the 696 with Spegel smooth target stocks.
