Holster for a S&W New Frontier .44-40 double action revolver?

[Dave Fox]

Anyone out there make such a holster?

They were made from 1885 to 1908 so any late 19th century/early 20th century holster design should do fine.

My choice would be something like this, made for the appropriate barrel length, of course.

Alas, I've tried the New Frontier in several of my holsters that happily take a Colt Model P. The S&W with its high top strap and huge trigger guard just doesn't fit. Tried to post a photograph of a period holster that handles the enlarged trigger guard of a Bisley but, like my other holsters, won't accept the S&W New Frontier.

I got one from David Carrico, several years ago. http://carricoleather.com/westernbeltsholsters.html

You might try Rick Bachman of Old West Reproductions, as well.

come to think of it... I have an Old West Reproductions one as well I bought from Two Flints.

If that doesn't fit, I would guess he can make you one that does.  He has a pretty extensive collection of originals for patterns.
