Well, not for a smith but I made this one in July. Shown with original Iver Johnson holster.
I will be making a new holster for a new smith, new knife sheath and belt and also will try making a pair of grips for the smith I pick up saturday.

I like Kramer horsehide holsters - they are not ornamental but rather purely functional, and wear like iron. I have several of them, and this is the one for my USP 40c:

I believe the center one is a "Street Combat." The Tortilla holster by EPS is a thumbreak style.

Here ya go Iggy: http://www.cows.com/suspen904.html
I bought mine around 10 years ago so they've changed their floral pattern a little bit. It's made for an over/under derringer, but the .32 caliber S&W break tops (hammer or hammerless) fit perfectly. The front sight helps keep it secure in the holster. I've never had mine even think of falling out when bent over to pick up brass. But the gun comes right out when you want it. Seems like the holster was made for the little S&W's!

Rob Garrett,
Please identify the makers of the rigs, you have some nice ones there.
Now I got this 1942 Mauser from a fella awhile back in the condition you see it in, bulged barrel and all. The grips are plexaglass they were made the same time and place the gun was nickeled, in Munich in '45. It's a bring back. Shoots fairly well even with the barrel. Sold it to a friend not too long ago. So I use the Heiser holster for a Ruger. Oh in these pics it's alongside an ammo pouch by Lawrence for 20 30-30 rounds.

Bill Jordan holster made by Don Hume. The six loop cartridge holder is made by Mixon Leathercraft. I bought the holster & cartridge holder at different times, but got lucky that they match up perfectly.

Mike,
It's just a 22-4 with factory grips and a Tyler T-grip. I like these grips, they hold well with the T-grip installed, and look pretty decent doing it, too. The grips actually look far better in person than in the picture, though.
