I've been looking for a holster for my early (1972 manufacture) Ruger Security Six. Found a Bucheimer "Plainsman" holster on Ebay recently, it is an odd bird, the welt looks to be on the wrong side compared to other holsters.

The photos posted on the Ebay auction weren't great, I saw the odd welt, but didn't know it was a crossdraw holster till I received it . It does fit well with the Ruger Security Six, as well as my 4" Model 66 S&W.

Any wisdom out there about Bucheimer "Plainsman" holsters?

Looks like a gem of a holster , good buy

Those pictures would make a nice addition to this thread, if you would, please.

Not in the 1975 Catalog. I found this 1971 page which shows one as usually depicted. THAT I recognize.
Pictures generally show open-top straight-draw with the usual B-C marking system 36 - [2 digit size code].

Thanks for the info....

1971 vintage, a good fit for a 1972 revolver. The holster is nice, kind of odd getting used to a crossdraw holster though. Should be nice for driving on long trips.
