Anyone have any ideas? It looks a lot like a minimal modified modern semi auto with a flash supressor similar to Leia's pistol in ANH.

Base is a Beretta 92 ...

It looks like it's too small for a Beretta 92. It'd be easier to tell if the whole thing was visible.
Leia's pistol was made from a Soviet target pistol, Holdo's looks pretty similar.
This is what Leia's pistol was made from:

The TLJ Visual Dictionary has a good pic of the blaster and another of Holdo holding it (from the VD thread) but I am not sure that the latter is the same prop because the side does not look silver.
The blaster is definitely a variation of Leia's blaster. It is referred to as a "DDC Defender-5".
Besides shortening the barrel and moving the front sight to the top, I think they must have put a larger cylinder around the part of the barrel that is above the receiver. It looks something that would be easy to build from a Rubies Leia blaster on a Saturday afternoon.

I agree. :lol
But still better looking than nearly any of the other new trilogy blasters.

Rubies doesn't have the ridges on the side under the barrel that the actual pistol has. Any suggestions on a material to replicate it? Everything with that structure from the hardware store is too large and more expensive than it is worth.

IMHO, you should use a 3rd for Leia's TLJ version of her blaster. Sort of a best of both worlds as it looks like she might have had it for 30 years.
They both look like scratch built (3d printed?) Margolin's to me. Too many details are different but close to be anything else IMO.Textured Evergreen sheet styrene? Lots to choose from there (one of the corrugated metal or siding textures?). Plastruct makes some too but theirs is vacuum formed and thus less sharp.
Crappy movie gives us this decent props like this blaster and the 2 macrobinoculars based on movie cameras.
