Left to right:

HC Leather "Keith" style. A high quality replica of Lawrence's
#120 Keith at a very affordable price. Shown with my New Model
Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum.

Another Oklahoma Leather "Slim Jim", also with Ruger's New
Model Super Blackhawk.

An economical "Single Loop", with a slight rearward cant, from
Cabela's with my Colt's 1860 Army replica.

Another shot of my "Missouri Skin Tight". I removed the
rawhide boot lace, doubled the number of holes, and re-laced
with 3/16" buckskin. I think it went from ugly to semi-ugly.
Also shown with my Colt's 1860 Army replica.

I think what makes it "ugly" is simply its newness. If it was from the 1870s and was dark brown with dirt and trail scars on it, it'd probably be considered a classic of the cowboy art of holster making, and you could make a bunch of money if you sold it.

Maybe I should put it on and go out and roll around in the corral.
