Does this fit S&W 4" Model 686? What material is on the inside of the holster contacting the weapon?

This will fit the 4" model, it doesn't appear that the barrel length would make a difference. The inside is just the plastic; there is no padding or anything protecting the gun. I imagine after some time it might cause some wear. I'm not sure because the holster is softer than the gun, so I would think that the holster would be where the "wearing" would occur. If your gun is stainless steel, I don't imagine it would be affected, but it might affect the bluing on a non stainless model. Hope this helps.

I have a Taurus 627 which I am told is approximately the same size as an L frame S&W.; It does not fit and there is no tension adjustment. There is no lining, just very thin cheap plastic.

It should fit your 686 as it fits my 681 fine. The holster is all polymer no lining. As inexpensive holsters go its a good deal.

I read the comments in here and bought it for my 4" 686+. It fits so tight that you can't draw the gun without using another hand to hold it down. I don't know why other 686+ worked, but mine. I returned it.

Not sure about a 686. I have a S&W; Combat Model 66 4". The interior of the holster is the same as the outside basically a hard plastic.

Peter, most all fobus holsters I've seen are a molded plastic inside and out the fits specific weapons. This one says that it fits a S&W; K and L frame and your 686 is an L frame. Since I believe your 686 is stainless I don't think that the plastic will harm it in any way. Hope this helps

It fits my 686+ (7-shot) great. There is no lining inside the holster. The material that would contact the weapon as you draw and holster is the same material as on the outside. The holster is molded to provide a small amount of single retention around the trigger guard.

Yes, this will fit a 686 with a 4" barrel. Also, the material it is made of is uniform throughout the holster so that the interior material is the same as the exterior plastic material.

It should fit but it will be tight. I have my S&W; Model 686 Plus 4" stored in one. It fits but it I have Hogue finger grips on the gun which may make it a bit longer that the factory grips causing it to be snug.

I bought mine for a J frame model 37 .38 special air weight snub nose. I don't know what category your 686 model fits into as far as what frame it is but it is specified for a square butt grip.

I'll second that it fits my Model 642. However, the usual caveats re ankle wear apply. If I'm wearing jeans, I've yet to find a really effective method of drawing that doesn't loudly announce to the BGs that I'm going to pull out a gun in a few seconds. One of the big advantages of a 642 or similar snubby is you can literally shoot through your pants with no need to actually display the weapon. Of course, YMMV :)

Measure it. It should fit a 4 inch barrel.. its universal fit... Also its left/right hand with extra mag holder..

I believe that they have the same dimensions, the holsters are identical, too. Just to be sure, might still be worth a call to S&W; customer service. Good Luck.

The short answer is - yes, it fits. The front sight post does not have a lot of clearance, and I've notice just a little wear on the finish of the front sight from it hitting every so slightly on the holster. That said, I've never noticed it snag or otherwise cause any issues taking the weapon out or re-holstering. The one key point to make note of is that the slide will stick out of the bottom of this model about 1/3". If you want or need the slide / barrel fully covered, this may be an issue for you.

I put this sight group on my S&W; 686-1. Worked out great. If your front sight is the same shape and size as the one pictured. It will fit with just a little filling on one corner of the sight. Add a drop of locktite to the clean oil free surfaces.

Yes, that is correct. I have the Crimson Trace LG-308 laser grips on my S&W 686-Plus.

It fits my officers model..my 6906 and 6904 S&W; fits my taurus 44c 4 inch and taurus pt911. the full sized 1911 sits too high and the holster wont retain it well.It will fit a commander or officer model but not 5 inch barl. Its a great fitting holster and fits alot of different models.

I don't see why it wouldn't. I do not think the Pro series and my standard 686 have any major differences in their dimensions (width at the cylinder, depth between rear sight and trigger guard). Once it got broken in, it became a fantastic holster.

Yes...my S&W; 3inch 686 fits, but will require a little "break in" I typically just use it for my .38 though.

It should. I carry my Kimber Custom stainless Target II, which has a 5" barrel. Your SW4506 I believe has the same barrel length but is a little thicker In girth. This holster should accommodate it. I use my all the time in Winter and late Fall.

Got it for my Taurus 992 4" which is about the same frame size as my 686. Fit both perfectly. Ruger GP100 is similar. I would say yes to your question. Hope this helps.

I have a Taurus 65 - 357 mag and it fits perfect. I believe the S&W; 629 is a much bigger gun and would say it would be a tight fit. I had a 629 many years ago. This holster is one of the best on the market, I like it a lot, but it may be a tad small for the 629. Do some size comparisons between the 629 and the Taurus 65 on the internet. If it is close, it is worth the chance.

Sorry can't help fits my S&W; M&P; Pro. Go to Blade-tech website and go through menu. If using for competition check out Blade tech Black Ice holster read description and you'll know why.

Sorry, bought it for a S&W. I will say the fit/finish on this is pretty bad.
