Thanks for that The one I am looking at says 25, with a 38 and then a six...........I'm assuming the 38 is caliber, and 6 in barrel length, but not sure what the model 25 is.........so I know it won't fit my S&W, which is a 22, and it has a 4" barrel, and am assuming it won't fit my Security Six which IS a 6" barrel, but is a 357 cal, but not sure because that holster is just a two digit model number, not the three digit ones on your attachment..........I guess I will keep looking!!

25 is the holster model number, that model has been in the Lawrence line for many years and was made for any and all revolvers over the years. 38 6 usually indicated a M&P .38 Spl. Revolver with a 6" barrel. That size identifier was used before the three digit size code system, probably before WW II. It was probably not made for a revolver with target sights. The Ruger would probably not fit very well.

Thanks for that, Turnerriver, I appreciate the feedback.....so what the heck DOES fit my two? The Ruger came with a Bucheimer shoulder holster, which is a nice holster, but imo doesn't fit the gun and I'm not too keen on a shoulder holster anyways.......My S&W does have a holster that I had custom made, but I am always looking for more than one..........and I do like the looks of the GL holsters!!

This is just one piece of a HUGE pie,
The George Lawrence holster that came with my Model 36 had the following codes...after much research:
Lawrence holster code:
24 = model # (this one had belt slide and snaps)
D = black
C = chamois liner
W = white weave edge (haven't seen one since)
X = left hand
540 = for S&W Model 36 2” barrel
p.s. Gave both the holster and Model 36 to my daughter-in-law. She got rid of her Ruger LC9 in favor of the Model 36!

A simplified 1960's George Lawrence 3-digit holster size chart from the picture by “Mountain Drew”
OCR didn't work, so I had to use OCD. Some of the picture was fuzzy, so I'll accept correction. I'm especially not sure about the R for hammer thong. (confirmed)
