Wheel guns and leather

[indiucky]

Thought i might as well add this .Pre model 18 combat master ,all matching #,and a period Bauer laced holster

About the same age as mine (although sometime back in the 1970's someone had it Armaloyed...) I put some stag on it and call it my "backyard BBQ gun"....You know, for BBQ's I want to show off for but do not feel the need for anything bigger than a .22....

I used to own a Ruger SP101 with a 2 inch barrel. Carried it in a Mitch Rosen Sport holster. Wish I still had it.

Early Heiser holsters and Colts, always a good combination.

My new Simply Rugged Silver Dollar holster and matching Most Versatile Ammo Pouch with a 642-1

Im facing the leather/kydex delima myself. I just purchased a Ruger Speed Six with the 2.75in barrel. I'm not sure if I want to buy a leather holster offline or have a kydex holster made.

Rugers don't deserve any better than plastic...now pre-lock S&W revolvers, well, that's another story!

I just can't get used to Kydex holsters. The logical part of me knows they're not really going to harm my gun, but when it sounds like I'm sliding it into a sandpaper pouch it just makes me cringe.

Scored another piece of old Clark leather, it was marked for a 32-20 which worked out well for this Police Positive Special from 1929.

Great old Heiser holster sold by VL&A sporting goods of Chicago. One of the Capone armories, this one holds a Colt Army Special of similar vintage. VL&A was the Chicago distributor of Colt and other fine products of the day including the Thompsons used in the St. Valentines day massacre.

I love Heisers...Very nice Leadeye...

Old civilian version of the S&W 1917 with some period Heiser Leather. Observant movie buffs might recognize this as Indiana Jones revolver.

I like Colts, but do appreciate a good S&W Indiucky.

Well as a wise customer once pointed out while I was showing him a fine old Colt Official Police...

"Check it out...I know it's not a S&W but I like it...."

"Well if one is going to step down he should at least step down on to a pony...."

Nice rig....Heiser had the best floral carvings out there IMHO........Subtle but elegant....Hard to explain but their not just "BOOM!" carvings but more subdued.....

Only thing I like better than the Heisers are the old Clark holsters.

It's hard to do two tone leather well but they sure pull it off....That is beautiful leadeye....Excellent condition as well.....Looks comfy too...

It seems to have a spring sewed in it as well to secure the gun....That's some serious leathercrafting right there.....Very, very, very nice....

I need a belt and holster for this. At least I have a hat.

Uberti?

I’ve often given thought to getting one. What do you think, and how do you like it?

Watch Ebay, good deals for a holster fitting that revolver and a color matching your knife sheath show up along with belts.
