Looking for a revolver size comparison

[OneFreeTexan]

I have several NEF R73 revolvers,,, that’s the 32 H&R Magnum,, Yeah, yeah,, I know all your opinions about this and that.
What I am looking for is a current model revolver of the same size, so I can find a holster. Obviously I have my gun and can measure it, but I don’t know what current model it compares to, cause I can’t find a revolver size chart.......I need to know a comparable current model so I can find a holster that will fit.

thanks for any help.

The NEF/H&R revolvers are roughly comparable in size to the S&W K-frame...but due to their frame contours, will usually not work with fitted holsters for those pistols

Take a look at the Safariland 568 Custom Fit holster

Safariland states this holster is not comparable with my revolver......

Where did you read that?

I didn't see it on the manufacturer's site

If you're an Amazon Prime member, I'd order one to see if it fit and return it if it doesn't

I ran the order screen for that holster, put in a S&W K frame as suggested,,, their response came back,,,’not compatable’

There online fitting program can be flaky especially with the custom fit line of holsters. The barrel length may be a hang up. I believe the only make the custom fit for the 4-inch barreled K-frame and not any of the shorter or longer.

I have the 567 (same holster as the 568 but with a belt-loop mounting rather than the paddle) and they most certainly make a version for a K-frame. It is an awesome holster.

Actually the NEF revolver is much closer to a J-Frame,, almost exact same size,,,,just slightly thinner cylinder.

Safariland has overwhelmed me with their customer service...However Gould & Goodrich reached out with several of their holsters that will work....they will send them to me to try and return the ones that don’t work

However, now I’m rethinking the whole 32 H&R Mag ‘thing’. the NEF is heavier that a Charter Arms Undercover and the Undercover has a lighter SA trigger release...And then there is the cost differential in the ammo. And I have put thousands of rounds thru Undercovers and other short barrel 38’s
