Webley Holster for N Frame 6.5”?

[Roverguy]

I love a flap holster and like the looks of this rather unadorned “Webley” holster:

Anyone have any idea whether it would fit an S&W N frame with 6.5” barrel ? Thanks in advance for informative or amusing responses.

Don't know if that particular holster will fit a S&W N frame with a 6.5" barrel (the Webley MK. VI had a 6" barrel and a shorter length cylinder), but I do know that the issue canvas flap holster for the MK.VI will fit a Ruger Redhawk with a 5.5" barrel quite nicely.

That same holster is offered on eBay in both .455 and .38 Webley versions. I bought the .455 version to use with my S&W 1917 (which is an N-frame, yes?). If anything, it fits a little too generously, with about half the grip frame covered by the upper edge of the holster.

Edit: The 1917 has a 5.5” barrel, so I’m guessing the holster might fit your gun or be just a hair too snug.

Thanks very much. Seems the holster is a bit short for the 6.5” barrel.
