Help: Model Confirmation

[HoracioGarciaT]

Hello!

I am looking to confirm the model and frame of my revolver in order to purchase the proper leather holster. It is a .32 Long CTG revolver with a 4" barrel, and I believe it to be a model "Hand Ejector 1903," either 5th or 6th generation, Frame I. Its serial number is 520353.

Please help me confirm the model and frame, as well as recommending a holster company.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forums from the Wiregrass! That looks like it might be a .32 Regulation Police made on the I frame. Would you post a picture showing how the grip panels fit to the frame from the rear of the grip frame? In other words, a picture of the back of the handle. We need to see if the bottom of the grip frame is enclosed inside the grip panels.

From the information given, you have a pre-war Regulation Police (one of my personal favorites)...I have seen much very nice finely crafted leather from your side of the border, but on this side I like El Paso Saddlery...I believe most of the S&W J-frame holsters of the proper length will fit that one......Ben

EDIT: Guy types faster than I do...

Horacio,
This is what we are looking for to determine if your revolver is an I frame or a rare K frame .32:

Thanks, that confirms you have a .32 Regulation Police. As Ben says, holsters for 4" J frames should work for you.

I’d love to see what is stamped on the right side plate. Do these normally have the S&W trademark on both sides? Nice looking 32.
