7.5 inch barrel....

[quote=Think semi auto with a long thin barrel. Like a Colt 22auto.[/quote]
Or 6.5" High Standard .22?
I also had similar with a 7.5" 1858 Remington .44 in it.

Do they make a single six with a 6.5 inch barrel? If so, I am thinking this is close to the fit. The holster appears to show an ejector rod housing has been present on whatever pistol rode there earlier.
I have a single six with a 6.5 barrel and it's a no go Mike Interesting, Mike. Gun too small, I presume?

My last best guess is a Colt Official Police (or Army Special) with a 6 inch barrel.

I'm inclined to think maybe so. The man who's estate this came from had a Colt or three. I don't have a Colt in the house , got everything else though. I hardly ever see a Colt in the shops Mike

I believe there has been a single six in there for the last few years, but he says it isn't a good fit.

I hardly ever see a Colt in the shops Mike The Official Police was built on Colt's 41 frame, and so it is bigger than the Smith K frame. That should be enough to back the trigger guard out and make the retention strap snug.

Sure they did. The problem with those old holsters was not the holsters , it was people just cramming any old handgun into any old holster. People treated them like a "one size fits all" when they were never meant to be one size fits all. Redhead , Lawrence , Hunter , etc had a BUNCH of different models of holsters made to fit specific models of handguns. Mike

this is a whole new way to do things. buy the holster then look for a pistol. I have been guilty of it. My excuse is I am left handed, so when I run across a LH holster at a good price I buy it, eventually I will find something that will fit. I am not too picky, it goes in, doesn't look like ti will wear off too much blue, I am not too worried about the queeks draw feature.
those generic things now have velcro everythings to you can make almost any pistol not fit.

I see a lh holster at the flea market for $5 I can't pass that up can I ? I can always find a gun to fit it later. Even though this holster is right handed I feel like it deserves the handgun that fits it properly. Mike

Probably need a custom Freedom Arms revolver to fit it properly.

I’ve got one ( well, I used to have until I gave it to my Grandson ) and it held a S& W 686 pretty well.

I guess I'd start with a 2 1/2" model 66. Then a flat top .44. Don't forget a nice 1911, and maybe a sig P320 compact.
None of those fit? Try, try again...
Quite the approach you got going on...
