Hello PawPaw & Kraigwy,,,

Thanks for the compliment PawPaw,,,

I like that style holster, but I just wont carry any holster that doesn't cover the trigger guard.

I hear ya Kraigwy,,,
There are a lot of people feel the same way.

I designed the pattern from a picture I have of a Tom Threepersons Holster,,,
Apparently it was popular from the mid 1920's through the WW-II years.

I got this quote from Wikipedia:
Threepersons was well known for his exploits, and starting in 1925, the S.D. Myres Saddle Co., of El Paso, began advertising the "Tom Threepersons-style holsters". That style holster, which included a cutaway top exposing the pistol hammer and trigger guard became popular, and was copied by several other manufacturers.

I don't think I would like it as a duty holster,,,
But for range wear I think it's quite the stylish rig.

At the range as well as at a barbecue,,,
Style counts. ;)

At least at my range it does,,,
On Sunday afternoons in the summer,,,
People bring their BBQ-grills and have cookouts,,,
They do a lot of shooting and always wear their fanciest rigs.

Well not everyone does this,,,
But enough people do to make it fun.

BBQ holster

Great looking holster Aarond. It is definetly a BBQ rig that would be worn at the get-togethers I hang out at. Will the holster you made for the Ruger match up with the straps that come on the remake .45 holster you patterned it off of?
 
You did a great job on the holster, I like it very much. If she doesn't I might be interested in buying it. lol
 
That looks very much like one that Tom Servo has for his 3" K-frames (albeit it seems like yours is for a 4").

I know his is high-end.

Yours appears to be equally good.

Nice work.
 
Thanks gentlemen,,,

I appreciate the compliments.

...you've made her a belt to match, of course

Actually I haven't as yet.

I wanted to see if she liked the style first,,,
Then I have to measure her hips,,,
Something women don't like.

But yes, a matching belt and cartridge slide are in the future.
