Wheel guns and leather

[BE Mike]

One of my all time favorite revolvers is my S&W model 60-10 (pre-lock)

Classic S&W model 60-7 (with hammer spur removed) in a Bianchi holster.

custom quick draw holster by leather heads in Louisville.

I like it.

Someday I need to scare up some leather and a belt for these pieces of Indiana history, probably need something like a Sam Browne rig to spread the weight to the opposite shoulder.

Good call Leadeye...Just because no T Rex bones have ever been found in Indiana doesn't mean they are not around....I have a couple of silver bullets for my .357 magnum...You know...Just in case...

I found & ordered a leather holster for my Uberti 1873 Cattlemen. I'm now looking for a ammo belt (.22WMR). Pics coming!

Wow. I hope this turns into a never ending thread. You guys have some fine looking rigs.


PS An old timer like me can only stand looking at so much plastic. This stuff is real eye candy.

I just think that you can't go wrong with leather. I have both, but always seem to grab the leather to carry on me.

I changed grips and picked up a new blade so thought I would share....

Awesomely appropriate setting for that picture.

I now have some leather for my wheel guns but don't have any pictures yet. You have set the bar pretty high.

You have the coolest stuff, indiucky !

That would be leadeye and 451detonics.....I am just trying to get in their class lol.......451 got me to start posting knife's with my gun pics and he is right...They are truly like biscuits and gravy and should always be on the same plate....

I've got a Ruger Speed-Six that was a bear to find leather for, still not real thrilled with what I finally got for it actually.

The solution is to trade it in for a Smith & Wesson!

Picked up this old Clark shoulder holster for the Colt, I liked the fern pattern in the leather.

Don't have very many nice knives, thought the bourbon added a good touch.

I am into old holsters and have never seen that fern pattern leadeye...That is very, very, very cool.....In really good shape...Do you have a date range on the holster??? That kind of work isn't cheap and you rarely see that kind of carving on a shoulder holster...

Had another one with oak leaves to go with it, must have belonged to a cop at one time. Guy I bought it from is pretty good at ID on this stuff, he said really old. Clark leather made holsters and before that they made saddles and horse leather. They were bought out by Bucheimer at some point in time and these were made before that. He did say that in their time the Clark brand was the premier western lawman's shoulder holster, prized by cops and private detectives. I like stuff with a historical story, who knows who wore these and when.
