I was issued a B27 on my second job. It was marked for a Colt and my 66 literally swam in it. When I sat in any chair with arms the front strap would usually release and when I would stand up the revolver would partially or completely fall out. It wasn't really a fault of the holster but the result of a department too cheap to buy appropriate holsters when they purchased new guns. After a few close calls, I started wearing my beloved K frame sized Hoyt. Back in the 70s the Hoyts were made by the Hoyt family on Whidby island in Washington state. It took three to four months to receive your holster.

I always thought the 2800 was as good as the Hoyt but it arrived a few years before the mass exodus to auto pistols. I still have five or six Hoyts in my holster box but they seldom get used since 98% of the time I carry an auto pistol now.

The good old days of steel six shooters and real basketweave leather are long gone. I feel nostalgic but reality intervenes.
