SW4 Standard Holster for Smith & Wesson K&L frame revolvers, Taurus 431, 65, 66, Right Hand Paddle

I purchased this holster for a Taurus model 66 , 4 inch barrel " old model " made in the late 1970'-1990's . The holster fits very well , it has snap in retention in the medium range, it holds the revolver firmly without movement or rattle, but the holster is quite easy to draw. I think this modern form fit polymer looks good/ sharp. The finish is matte black . The paddle goes in the pants easily and retains the holster and revolver firmly with a just right forward cant. You can't go wrong with this holster and the price was great.

Good holster for your money. Nice fit. Very sturdy. Comfortable to wear.

Nice holster fits my S&W model 15 but does not fit my Windicator .357

It fits PERFECT on a S&W .357 revolver, model 66 k frame. I bought it 4" eventhough mine is 2" barrel. Thas no biggie to cut it down to length. I couldn't find a good range holster for this gun, and price +QUALITY is OUTSTANDING. THX

First, I have always had leather holsters in my life, except when I was around 10 years old using a toy gun. This was purchased with some reservation due to the fact that I don't like plastic holsters as they look cheap and they break, normally. I also own a S&W K Frame with a 1" shorter barrel. I needed a holster that would not be obvious and it needed to be light in weight. I called Fobus before I purchased and was told that it would be fine but the barrel would simply be 1" longer than on my S&W. I received it in a reasonable time and sure enough it looked like a plastic toy holster at first. After examining it, I appreciate that there was a good deal of thought that went into the design. I inserted the S&W and there was a distinct "snap" sound as the holster tends to grasp the trigger to keep it secured. I slipped the paddle just inside of my jeans until the two latches locked under my belt. OK, the S&W is indeed positioned with a slight forward cant, is it secured? Yes. Is it easily pulled out from the rear? No. How about the draw? Very nice! Very Smooth, however, it must be pulled straight up which was not really a problem. In a nutshell, plastic yes, but you get over that very quickly. IMO It is well designed, well built, very light, draws and re-holsters smoothly and your piece is secure. I think that most will approve of this one, especially at this price. It is a perfect fit for my S&W 357 and it meets my needs. It certainly has me re-thinking my thoughts about plastic holsters in general. From an old dog; Well Done Fobus!

FOBUS makes quality products, but I think they missed the mark on this one. Making a holster to fit a wide series of firearms can be misleading to the buyer. The firearm moves around in the holster quite a bit, I modified it so this issue doesn't happen. Although the firearm is "locked" into the holster, it will become dislodged with a bit of physical activity, normal wear, it will be fine, but it's not a tactical holster by any means. Overall the material is great, the molding is fine (for the intended purpose), it's just not what you would expect from FOBUS to try something like this. Since I modified mine, I will be keeping it, but potential purchasers need to be aware the fit will not be the same as a holster made for a specific firearm.

I have a S&W 586 (same as the 686 but with a blued finish) with a 4" barrel and this holster feels like it was custom made to fit. There is no back strap but the gun sort of, "snaps," into place and provides ample retention for off duty, concealed carry (I am a retired law enforcement officer) or open carry at the gun store where I work part time. The paddle has a rubber surface on the side that presses against your body and holds the holster firmly in place when drawing the weapon. I have always had a hard time finding comfortable and practical holsters for carrying my revolver off duty and am very happy I came across this one.
