Been a busy season here. As our family has always made Christmas and wedding presents for friends and family, I built the two holsters below, following the old Tom Threepersons design, albeit with an open muzzle. Both are lined in vegetable tanned pig skin and sit high on the belt line. Tight fitted, neither needs a security strap nor thong. Both are hand-stitched and dyed as well.
The guns are a favored Sig RCS (an Officer's model length bbl. and grip), and my daily carry companion, a Smith M60 with a 3" tube. Both conceal well under a shirt tail or jacket flap. And the minimal leather used keeps excess weight to a minimum. You just hardly know they're on your belt.
A favored nephew wears the auto one with his Ruger CMD in .45 ACP (wore it, infact, during the outdoor wedding ceremony near Big Sky, Montana several weeks ago). The M60 is a soon to be delivered gift to #2 son at his farm here in KY.
I've built similar holsters over the years, but this pair turned out a bit better than most.
Best Regards, and a Happy New Year, Rod
