I have a 686 competitor with a red dot. I believe the barrel is 6" long. Two questions - will it accommodate a red dot? and is the holster too long?

The holster would accommodate the red dot easily enough, but the holster itself is too long. The length of holster that runs along the top of the barrel is open until about the last inch, and it's designed for an 8 3/4" barrel, so I imagine that it wouldn't hold on to a 6" barrel too well, if at all.

I keep my Ruger SP 101 .357 3" barrel in mine. I just tried my Ruger GP 101 .357 with 6" barrel. Both fit, the 6" barrel did not come out as smoothly, but I didn't feel any problems. Hope this helps. I love this holster.

I have the Springfield XD 45 with a rail mounted Protec Elite HP190LS. It will fit into the holster but is very snug, I removed the laser from the bottom of the light and it fits very nicely, which works out for me due to using the light mostly at night. As for the longer barrel, I would be scared to say. Hope this helps.

Not sure, it seems to be picky about barrel diameter. I had mine on a ruger m77 and it fit ok, but never quite snug enough for my preferences. I opted for a magnetic universal mount by Olight instead.

This holster is one of my favorites for function and fit though not very concealable. The belt slide is certainly tighter to the body than the paddle. This holster will not accomidate a 340 as it has a shrouded barrel and is longer than. 38 J frames. My 642 and 637 are right at the end of the holster. Those barrels are 1.875 in length. The 340 is just over 2" . My thoughts are, make sure you're buying model specific products when it comes Kydex, plastic, or fiberglass molded units.

The bottom of the holster is open and should accommodate the longer barrel without alteration. Its not a huge opening, but sizable.

I have a 6 inch ruger 357 fits great. Your s&w; will fit fine. Nice holster for the money.

Measure the height of your barrel and front sight. The combined height of the barrel and front sight on the gun I bought it for is 1 6/16 inch. It fits in snuggly. The barrel is also 8 inches long so it sticks out the end a bit. This is the only holster I could find that works for such a long revolver with a scope.

The holster will accommodate a variety of barrel sizes-including 6.5. The top is very open allowing scope mounting with ease. This is a very nice set up

I have a #2 that works with my 4" GP100. The 686 is pretty similar in size, so I imagine it would work properly. I'll say, the trigger is pretty poorly covered by the holster, though.

I had a full length pic rail on my Mark II bull barrel, and while tight, it did fit, but I changed to a shorter rail and TruGlo small multi reticle red/green dot and it fits perfect. The holster is really tight, but oil and working the leather will make it more manageable and softer, easier to form around your weapon.

i am not sure if it would fit your gun, but i have the taurus model 66 seven shot with the 6" barrel and it fits quite nicely. I have looked up your type of gun and i do not want to lead you astray and have you buy the wrong holster, but i don't believe it will fit.

I'm sorry I don't know a lot about guns. The one I carry is a Ruger LCP with a side mounted laser. It has a 2.75" barrel. The holster fits very well. But if you aren't sure tell them what you have and they will tell you which is the best size.

I have a 642 with the Crimson Trace laser and the holster works great. From the highroad.org, "...the 637 is like the 642 (stainless), but has an exposed hammer and hence a shorter frame behind the cylinder. it's disadvantage is the possibility of snagging and providing an entry for debris into the action...." So I believe that fit would not be a problem. Drawing from an ankle holster isn't particularly fast and I believe that your exposed hammer will cause issues unless you exaggerate your pants hike up. The only way to know is to try it with your normal pants. I'm not wild about ankle carry but it beats leaving my pistol at home! I have a 642 with the Crimson Trace laser and the holster works great.

I Don't have the Crimson Trace on my Ruger, but I'm sure yours with the Crimson Trace will fit just fine in the holster. It's an awesome holster by the way.

Hi. Yes it will fit, but it does not offer real support very far up the barrel. So, use as a primary holster, or in a very active environment, would not be advisable.
