FBI VINTAGE GUN LEATHER
In the early 1950s a new recruit showing up at the FBI Academy
would get to choose an S&W M&P (aka Model 10) or Colt's
Official Police. At that time the Bureau also issued holsters.
Photo on the left is Heiser's 457 with a model 10. It was provided
by Evaluators and Heiser.
Another issued holster was the Crump FBI model 2nd from left
also with the model 10.
Both Heisers and Crumps also came in the same style with the
hammer protector. Heiser's 459 is shown 3rd from left.
Not issued, but authorized and very popular with agents, was
the Myres 614 as shown 4th from left.
Also authorized and popular was the Berns-Martin Universal
Speed Scabbard shown 5th from left.
Lawrence's model 34 came a little later and was also popular,
but no room left for photo.

I believe that the floral carved Myers 614 is the same style holster Jerry Campbell was wearing in the photo of him demonstrating the Thompson SMG at Quantico. One of our members makes an excellent reproduction of this holster. These are expensive and lead times can be months, but are well worth the price and wait times.

A 614 with dog ear went on ebay last weekend for about
$360 bucks. I dropped out when it went over $200.
Mine is like Agent Campbell's.

Fast forward about 50 or 60 years and the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team
was carrying Springfield 1911s in hosters made by DeSantis, By some
coincidence they were called HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) as shown in
photo at left.
By the way, the Lawrence #34 I mentioned in my opening salvo is
shown below. An enterprising former owner cut it off to accomadate
his 3 or 3.5 incher. My 4" comes right flush with the muzzle. Whoever
it was did a pretty nice job.

Hey crazyphil, I very much like that Berns Martin, and the belt with it. What's the belt?

Belt is a Ranger style made in Mexico by I don't know who.
Bought it at my local saddle & ranch supply store.
