The Galco Combat Master (brand part no. CM192B) is a professional-grade outside-the-waistband belt holster hand-molded specifically for the Smith & Wesson L-Frame 686 with a 3-inch barrel. Galco’s experienced craftsmen mold each holster around the exact contours of the revolver, which is what gives this rig its confident retention and clean lines. Built in black steerhide, it’s the kind of holster a range officer, instructor, or everyday revolver carrier reaches for when they want a holster that looks as sharp as it performs. The right-hand design rides for a fast, natural presentation on the strong side.
