I made the holster below for my own use with my Ruger Single Six. I carried this almost daily for many years while working at my farm. The idea came to me after a muzzle loading hunt. I got back to camp and was removing the Ruger Old Army I had been wearing all day. I found, to my surprise, that it was at full cock. I was very lucky to not have had an unintended discharge. I could only assume it cocked by catching on a branch or something. For the SS, I wanted something that would hold the gun, be easy access with no loops, snaps or whatever to slow me down and, foremost to be safe. I know this is not the priettiest holster ever but it is stout, fits the gun well and works. I just do not understand why I don't see commercial holsters that protect the hammer in this manner.
