Alas, at least Bianchi Accumold holster for the 92 did not fit. Almost, but the trigger guard is a tad smaller on the 92. (This experiment was brought to you by the UK who sold a bunch of not much used holsters as surplus. As the surplus store I saw the holster in didn't really know what the holster was for, I got one for not very much. Was worth the try...)
Anyways, thank you folks for the leather holster tips. I shall keep an eye on those. (I did buy her a custom made holster, but it's always good to have spares.)

The hunt for Smith 3rd gen accessories is part of the joy of owning these classics. I have more holsters than guns. They are out there and available for the diligent searcher. EBay often has some and the Smith & Wesson forum is also a good resource. I just bought two DiSantis leather holsters, one for the medium frame semis and one for a J frame from a S&W forum member.
While you are unlikely to find one at your local gun shop, a bit of sleuthing will get you what you need.

For you Smith 39xx fans, there's a 3913TSW for sale over on the S&W forum that looks nice.

Not another dime.
I was in Vancouver in 2018 and I'm 95% sure I saw 3rd gens in cop holsters at the airport--stainless, black grips, silhouette looked about right for a 59XX. I don't think airport cops are part of the RCMP... but... seems like the guns are still in service there. Also pretty sure I saw a 3rd gen in an NYPD holster when I was in NYC this spring.
Still kicking myself for not picking up that 1076 in 1994 for $500...
Aims still has 6906s for $349. Dunno how much longer I can resist.

Back in '77-'78 I bought the above captioned pistol. It was my first pistol, blue finish. I had to send it back in for service due to the pistol's inability to be 100% reliable with JHP. I was using the Remington hollow point at the time. Not too many options back then. Seems like it was a known issue at the time. Got the pistol back and it was 100% thereafter. The 5906 I have now keeps me contented with that generation pistol. If you ever look at the frame from a machining aspect, the frame is a wonder of engineering and execution.
