50 yrs, or just starting in this fine hobby, these piks show the best of the best. A person can never get too good, there;s always something new out there that needs to be tried.

I was lucky enough to have a sidekick who coached me after 50 yrs. of this fine hobby, I learned a lot from him.

Never too old Pards

Very nice examples of different styles folks. For some reason, I didnt have a subscription to this topic, so have been missing a LOT of posts!
Good to see it all again.

Well Boothill Bob, I'd say you did a dandy job, for a first gun rig, the West Texas style was very popular, Well done pard.

Here ya are Marshall Wingham,
Here are a couple a southern plains holsters from Texas and Oklahoma around the late 1870's -80's. The top one is actually the second one I started and the bottom one is still a work in progress. I had to alter the pattern to fit my "51 Colt civilian. The first one is slightly bigger and fits my Remington. Now.....off to sew the toe plug and finish the Remmy holster.

I love that style. Have u made the pattern your self or can i bye it somewere?

I have to clean virtually all my leather goods before I take pics. They have been stored for ten to twelve years. Been so much going on, funny how time slips by...

Great looking leather! Now . . . I have a question and am looking for suggestions. While many of the holsters shown are for C & B, SAA, etc. I am looking for suggestions for a style of a little later date. I have a Colt Army Special - 38 special with a 6 inch barrel - made in 1909. This model was the forerunner of the Colt Official Police - actually, the same revolver, just renamed. The Army Special was made from 1908 to 1927 and then renamed the Official Police after that. Mine was made in 1909. At any rate . . . . I winter in Arizona and I want to make a holster for it that would be appropriate for my pistol that would have been around in 1909. I have looked in Packing Iron - lots of good holsters but mainly for C & B, SAA, etc. Arizona was still a Territory in 1909 and still somewhat of a "frontier", so to speak. Can any of you make suggestions on the style of holster - civilian that is - and of a "western nature" that would be appropriate? I make holsters, etc. but am in somewhat of a quandry over this - a partial skirted holster, full skirted, loop or attached belt loop with strap, ? ? ? ? I'm not looking for a "fast draw" - rather one that is carried higher on the right hip. Any suggestions would be appreciated! I'll try and attach a photo of the pistol. Many thanks.

Hey Chuck, is there a way I could get one too. I know I am a bit late, but I only found this recently. Thanks

Matt & Bob - send me an email to chuck@wrtcleather.com as a reminder and I will shoot a copy to you both - I finally found the bloody thing!

This is a fantastic thread which deserves a little bump. I'm partial to the Slim Jim Holsters myself ....but there are some real beauties pictured over the last 7 pages.

This thread hasn't been updated in a while so here are a few.
