What a great thread. I just ran across this one today and I'm thinking it maybe fits a Colt .32 or 380 automatic based on this thread. Thoughts?

Hard to tell, 'cause on the pics there's no size reference but my humble guess is a good fit for a snubnose such as a S&W 36/60

I was going by the number 3 but it looks more like a revolver holster. I'll stick a snub or two in there when I get home and see if anything fits. I'll post a picture with one for size reference.

Please do, I'm interested

It's difficult for me to read in the photo, but the last two digits appear to be 11 = J frame S&W.

I'll attach the whole pdf list again. --
DELETED for redundancy. See first and last pages of the thread for the master list.

This is partial for S&W.

11 = S&W Chief Special, Terrier, 2"
12 = S&W M&P, Combat Master 2"
13 = S&W Chief Special, Terrier 3"
14 = S&W Military & Police, Combat Master 4"
16 = S&W Military & Police, Combat Master 6"
24 = S&W .357 Magnum, Highway Patrol 3½ - 4"
25 = S&W .357 Magnum 5"
26 = S&W .357 Magnum, Highway Patrol 6"
34 = S&W K22, K32, K38 Masterpiece 4"
34M = S&W Combat Magnum 4"
36 = S&W K22, K32, K38 Masterpiece 6"
36M = S&W Combat Magnum 6"
52 = S&W Model 19, 2½
78 = S&W Mdl. 59
79 = S&W Mdl. 39
84 = S&W .41 & .44 Magnum 4"
86 = S&W .41 & .44 Magnum 6"

It is an 11. I guess I was paying attention to the 3 before the dash and not the 11. I was also not paying attention to the shape, which would have obviously told me it's for a revolver. I got it thrown in for free in a deal for a K frame so I didn't really pay much attention. I tried a Colt Detective Special, .32 Colt, and it fit well enough. I also tried a S&W 940 and it wouldn't snap due to the shrouded hammer. Here is a picture of an Airweight. Thanks for the help. Looks like a score for me.

Hi everyone, here I am again with a question for the experts, this time a holster which I really could not find in all of the 3 pages of this thread.

It seems to be a duty holster, here a couple of pics:

it has a kind of hood/top cover

and a strap for the fastening at the thigh

my copy of the 4" Colt Python seems to fit well:

if anyone can provide more details i'll be glad as usual, thanks in advance!

The basic holster would appear to be the original Guardian thumb break in the swivel version shown in the 1955 catalog page from Turneriver with a swivel hood as pictured on this odd Federal Man holster.

(A later belt holster also bore the name Guardian.)

I think John and Red had comments about the hood on the Federal Man when that popped up ... but I don't remember what was said.

The hood might be an add-on. For sure the tie down strap is not original.

Fit chart size number 42 is either a Colt Detective Special or a S&W N frame. I'd go with N frame on this one. HD may indicate .38-44 Heavy Duty, but that's guessing.

P.S. A great find!!

Thanks!

Concealer for model 10 4"

This basket weave concealer fits my model 10 and was made for Graves Uniforms. Thanks for all the info, I've got several Bucheimer and B-C holsters.

Hi everybody,

this time I stumbled on a kinda weird paddle thing, and I could neither find info in this thread nor a gun that fits in. Couple of pics to help my question:

I'll be glad for any hints...thanks in advance,

It's quite a well-known model, intended to be worn so high on a belt that it's a 'semi shoulder holster'. Obviously for a DA revolver and I'd expect a small frame. J.M. Bucheimer had different 'will fit' charts for every model!

This is the S&W version and likely was actually made for them by JMB

Hi there!

Here I am again, and again I can't find the model simply typing it in as a search key, so I give you a couple of pictures of the last holster I stumbled upon...here:

the 4" Python seems to fit well, though I suspect the holster is designed not only for a 4"- barrel since there is some room left inside but also for other guns...if anyone can help I'll be glad as usual.

 

[SG-688]

The fit code list is searchable.

FMA is for Federal Man

325 = S&W Mdl. 15, 19 4" in the 1970's version of the Federal Man list.

P.S. LH = Left Hand, of course.

Thanks. Sorry I did not think of searching with the entire code, I tried the site with ctrl + F and typed FMA + 325 and nothing came up
