Looks pretty close. The strap is a little higher on Jackman's flap and his looks like the portion that holds the body of the gun has a little more shape to it. Otherwise very close indeed.

Good eye Mechanic, you never cease to amaze with your attention to detail. That looks exactly like my Keppler holster for my 5.5 barrel S&W New Classic m1917 .45

Also, keep in mind that the S&W was originally made with a 5.5" barrel. Michaelson please correct me if I am wrong.

.45 ACP or 45 Auto rim

I have recently purchased a S&W M22 1917, and I am asking for opinions regarding which ammo you prefer and why. I currently use the .45ACP which requires the moon clips, but I am curious as to the performance/reliability of the Auto rim which does not need the moon clips.
