  The frame is the main part of the gun,  the grip is part of the frame

If you find a replica that is an N frame,  the only difference will be the cylinder size and the barrel configuration

I mean the link you provided, isn't it just a link for a grip for sale?  I mean, if OP (or I) bought the item in your link, how would it help to make a holster?  seems I'm missing something here...

I just use the gun, oil it, baggie it, wrap aluminum foil, another baggie, You might want to add padding in certain areas, another couple of baggies. It isn't the exact fit you see on some holsters but pretty good and I've never had a gun rust so far.  If I was making a lot of holsters of the same size- I'd do a model.

Thanks for all the great suggestions, guys.  The laws in my area require FFL transfer for it to change hands even if temporarily.  Had a customer correct me on that once when I suggested borrowing his firearm for holster making.  Also, I'm not zoned for business where I make my leather goods, so I have to do all my work online and can't legally have customers on site anyway.  Great suggestion on the home made wood mold, but once again I cant even take the gun temporarily for pulling dimensions.  Looks like my hands are tied on this one..  been thinking on moving out of state anyways.  Maybe its time to move to a more leather business friendly state.  (shrug)
