Safariland 25 Holster

[flundertaker]

My father in law occassionally buys random gun stuff at flea markets and yard sales for me. He’s not a gun guy but he figures I can use anything he comes across. I really can’t but love him so I accept the stuff graciously and hope he someday has a huge score for me.
Today’s find is a leather safariland holster. It stamped 25 SW on the back and appears to be for a revolver, although it also came with a dual mag carrier for a 1911. I don’t feel like pulling random stuff out of the safe to see what fits, Google kept returning a pocket ,380 holster which is clearly wrong. Anyone know what this fits? Maybe a K frame 4”?

Strictly a guess, N Frame Model 25?

I believe the "MD/FR" denotes Medium Frame.
Probably fits K frame S&W and comparable Colt frames.

I concur, but I'm only guessing myself. MD/FR surely means a K or L frame. (as far as S&W)

That should fit a 4" K frame. Model 10, 15, 19, etc.

Here's a kid wearing a Safariland Model 25 holster with a Model 15 .38 Combat Masterpiece:

Yes it fits a S&W K Frame 4” holster. It has the patented sight track and elk suede lining. They are great holsters and I had one for years before going to the Model 29’s that are thumbsnap. They have a bit of a following and I believe they are the best holsters for field carry as they provide full coverage of the cylinder.

Very nice holster. I used a similar holster, mine in basketweave, which I really like, for my 4-inch Model 19 for many years and still have it. A beautiful gift. Hope you can use it.

Thank you all. I cleaned it up with some leather cleaner and conditioner. I carefully slid my model 19 in and viola! Like a glove. Sent a few pics to my father in law as appreciation, then carefully removed the gun. Don’t want any holster wear on this beauty!

One of my favorite revolver holsters! Nice find.

I believe a few folks here would like to “borrow” your father-in-law! I know that I would. Tell him he has a good eye for great taste in holsters!
