I bought a Model 21-4 a month or so ago, NIB for $425, because it just looked like too good a deal to pass up. A real beauty with those Rosewood grips. Dealer said he got it from an estate sale and it had never been fired.

That El Paso rig answers one of your questions. Maybe somebody else can come up with some more leather carry options. I bought an el cheapo Uncle Mike's for my 4" as a range holster and haven't gotten anything for carry yet.Originally posted by Emerson:
I've got a couple of questions.
1. What are a couple of good leather holsters for OWB strong side carry for a M-24?
2. How do you post pictures?

Product code 100787. The LH 24-3 is distinguished by the 3" barrel and round butt.

You probably have a 2nd model that has been rebarrelled. I've run into several like that.
Of course, about the only difference between the two IS the shrouded barrel.

You may be correct.What puzzles me is the barrel is numbered to the frame as is the cyl. and the underside on the ratchet.Also I don't know if the frame itself needs to be altered for a proper mating of the bbl. with the ejector housing.

Hello buffalo4star,
I hope I don't start a flame war or get accused of trashing a member's gun, but if the complete serial number is 23250, the gun shipped as a Second Model .44 Hand Ejector.
When serial number 23250 was listed on AuctionArms about a year ago, I contacted Roy Jinks, because of the lower than usual serial number (for a Third Model .44 H.E.).
Mr. Jinks advised me that "the revolver in question shipped as a .44 Hand Ejector Second Model and has been converted to a Third Model. I have lettered this gun before so who has it is not telling the full story."
If they are not the same gun, please disregard my post.
Take care,

Isn't it also supposed to be in a certain serial # range? I have a 24-3 that fits your description but never thought it was a LH.
