The cutouts meant to receive the pistols accommodate the Artillery's rear sight leaf, just fore of the receiver at the back end of the barrel. So, these are for the Arty. Barrels are measured from breech block face with the action closed--not just the part of the barrel that sticks out of the receiver. An Arty barrel is virtually 8". These look very well made, though the boxes have no obvious accommodation for extra mag or other accessories.
