With apologies to jeeps & lizardsausage, I had to chime in since two of my favorite subjects are good leather & Colt 38 autos.
Mine is actually a Super 38 vs. 38 Super, go figure. As Les mentioned, they were favored by the Rangers. Mine came by way of a retired DPS agent who claimed to have been taught to shoot an auto by the Lone Wolf. Sadly, the humidity along the border took its toll on mine.
But I digress, what I wanted to show was the EP holster I sometimes use it with. I was wondering if this was what Red was describing. Along with the trigger guard being encircled with leather, it also has an extra piece inside to hold everything tight.
When not in the El Paso, I carry it in the Eubanks model 820 that it came to me in.
