Good Afternoon Guys,

I'm trying to help out someone with a recommendation for a leather holster for a 738 so if anyone has a suggestion I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jody

Tough one, I'd suggest starting with a holster for the S&W Model 36, the Chiefs Special.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

This is the best looking Lil' Dan holster I've seen yet. He sez it was made for a Colt Detective Special.

Absolute best thing to do is see if you can't find a local custom holster maker who will use your Lil' Dan as the mold to make the holster. You want to find a local guy because shipping handguns across state lines to holster makers is expensive and a PITA (and most of them won't do it).

 

I did this with my CZ75B SA .40 (since .40 CZ75s are different from 9mm and lots of holster makers make leather for 9s but not 40s). Ended up with a real nice holster that fits my gun like a glove.

That's not a bad idea, Zundfolge. There are a couple local guys who advertise their services periodically. One of them seems to do some pretty nice work, so I may just give him a try.
