Default Any ideas what fits into this holster??

I've tried Bing and Google, but they just come up with the current Safariland fitment guide. This isn't on it, that I can find. I knew that since it said "medium auto" it wouldn't take a 4566, but I'd hoped it would handle a 908. Nope. Maybe their definition of a medium-sized auto is different than mine. Hoping the collective knowledge base here could help me out.

Who knows, now that I have the holster I might have to go get another gun so I have something to put in it...

Oh, like none of you have ever done that!

Safariland will build a holster model to fit many different guns, it isn't like they bone them to fit one specific model. If you look at the Safariland fitment guide for the Model 7 II you could be in for a long spell of purchasing guns in an attempt to find the one that fits. Is your holster the same as the Model 7 II?

I should have included more pictures when I created the thread - added two more.

It isn't quite like the model 7. Only two belt holes so not adjustable for cant. I figured it wasn't built for a specific model if it just said "med. auto" but I was surprised how small it was. Tough to get the scale on an Internet auction photo. Those are the photos I posted here. I've thought maybe the 908 doesn't fit because of the squared-off slide; maybe a rounded-off slide like the 3913 would do better? I was hoping someone here might have an older Safariland catalog that shows this model.

I'm not out a lot of money for it - just $21 even with the shipping.

In the world of Safariland and Bianchi, "medium auto" means "380s", which name we didn't use because of all the calibers. And the holster in your pic is clearly moulded around a Walther PPK. See the mag button at the juncture of the grip and slide?

I'd always thought of a PPK as a small auto, not medium... oh well. Thank you. I won't go overboard, but I always kind of did want to get a James Bond gun...
