Default S&W .38 DOUBLE ACTION PERFECTED MODEL

Looking for ideas/recommendations on a holster for this new acquisition of mine. These went out of production nearly 100 years ago, so doubt there are many forms for holster makers to use and would like to avoid sending in the revolver to get one made.



I have an e-mail in to a couple of holster makers I trust but welcome your ideas.

Is there a more modern firearm that is close enough to help with holster selection?

Seems like the revolver is about the size of a K frame revolver but the forward portion of the frame where the action pivots is definitely different.

Perhaps I'll change the question to what a period correct holster would look like?

I recently picked up a 6" 3rd Model and 6" 4th Model.

Tom Threeperson's holster came out around 1920 (plagarizing Lobo Gun Leather website) and seems like a good fit for the 3rd Model Perfected.

3rd and 4th Model date to before/around the turn of the century and assume a drop/loop style holster or possibly a flap holster would be about right.

Just received the DA Perfected revolver and need to rethink the Threeperson's holster for it. I was surprised, but these revolvers are relatively small, similar to a 4" J frame revolver.
