Default Triple Double Trifecta Anyone? (TL & Heiser)

Wasn't sure what else to call this thread. 4, 5, & 6.5 Triple Locks with matching Heiser holsters. The TLs are all original and matching except for the grips on the 2 shorter guns.

If you are familia with family dynamics, you know that it is always the middle child that is the showoff! (Some of these items have been seen before.)

I don't have a photo on this computer of my TL and Heiser together but here are sperate shots.

The TL was shipped to the Shelton-Payne Arms Co. El Paso TX. 1915 and found its way to Mexico to be reimported back to the US by The Odin international arms Co. in the 1970s.
Little harder to trace the lineage of a holster.

Are our 5" Heiser holster twins?

They certainly are the same style. When I first got that holster I posted it in the gun leather section and the holster "Gurus" dated it between 1910 and 1918 which is perfect for my 1915 TL.

Nice group !
I had a heck of a time finding a Heiser to fit.

At least I have a H H Heiser holster. 1940's vintage.

Firearm does not belong here. Colt SAA 45Colt Gen 1 1927.

Not trying to hijack thread!

Other than my EDC carry holsters these are the only holsters that I have.

I would like to find a nice one like the ones posted here but I think the first thing I would have to do is to decide which gun I wanted the holster for and them fined a period correct holster for it.

I don't have a triple lock either. The one I did have I gave to the same friend that I gave my 1954 4" M28 to.

EDIT,



I think my 1959 8 3/8" M27 is the one I'd look for a holster for.

Default Nickel Trifecta

And here is a nickel trifecta. 4", 5", and 6 1/2" barrels on Triple Lock revolvers.

The 4" barreled Triple Lock did originate with this 4" barrel and was nickeled. Only about 100 to 125 nickel 4" barreled Triple Locks were manufactured. It's been poorly refinished since then.

I have a number of the same holsters. I carried my duty revolvers in them and also afield.
