I don't know how to order a holster for it. Will a holster made for a model 60 acommodate it. Apparently what I have is no longer made and I don't know if it's equivalent to model 60. Thanks

Two considerations that haven't been mentioned . . . one is tapered vs heavy barrel profile and the other is fixed vs adjustable sights.
The 3" model 36 (as you describe yours) is a tapered barrel whereas the 3" model 36-1 is a heavy barrel. I see many more holsters made for the 3" 36-1 than I do for the 3" model 36. There are 3" model 60s but all that I am aware of are heavy barrel profiles. Formed holsters are generally made to fit one or the other.
Adjustable sights can also impact the holster fit . . . I presume your model 36 has fixed sights but many model 60 holsters are made for adjustable sights.
