I like it! And the floral-carved thumbbreak holster above it. A-IWB carry works for me for concealing my 2" j-frames, but for open carry I really like the older western (and western-ish) style holsters. I think of them as 1930's style, when a lot of people were transitioning from Colt SAA's to S&W and Colt DA's. Haven't seen him on this site, but a guy who posts as Wyatt Burp has posted pics on other forums of quite a few holsters along that line that he's made, generally for large-framed snubbies-- cut-down Colt New Services, S&W M1917's, & the like. A friend of mine recently took up leather work, and he just made a floral crossdraw holster for me -- I'm looking forward to getting it soon, along with some leather-working tools he's sending along so I can give it a try myself.
If anyone else is interested in holsters like this, check out coltforum.com-- they have a leather & accesories section that has a lot of cool holster photo's.
