For my gun shown in post #59, here is another holster I made for it (my version of the one John Wayne used in some of his movies).
That first holster I gave to a friend with the same type of gun, but no holster!
I really like that one. For some reason I've always had a love affair with holsters with that kind of wrap around the front of the holster.
Same here. I don't know if I did it right, but it works. I looked at a bunch of pictures and guessed on what the pictures didn't show, and ended up with how the holster turned out. That's OK, because I try not to copy anything exactly anyway!
For no particular reason, I lined it with pig skin.

Are you making holsters for sale or just personal?
The pigskin is a nice touch on a western holster.
I have quite a few, all Ruger Blackhawks of some variation or other, most are Old Models. Here's a custom old model flattop .44 cut to 4 5/8", cylinder frame color-cased by Turnbull, steel grip frame, locking base pin, mesquite grips.

Centaure 1860 revolver made in Belgium in the 1960's for the American Civil War centennial. You can read about these guns here 1960NMA.org
I made the holster and gave it an "antique" treatment (to match the gun!).

Here's one of the uberti 22 replicas, a schofield replica, and a Remington 1875 replica. I've got three of the 22 colt 1873 replicas, one full sized with 4.75" barrel, one 5/6ths in 4.75" barrel and one 5/6ths with 5.5" barrel.
I also have a couple of colt frontier scouts, a k series (nickel) and the Florida commemorative.

My .357 magnum Ruger NV Montado rides comfortably in a high rise pancake holster when I'm out in the woods. It compliments my 1873 Winchester in the same caliber. I also have a fixed sight, 5-inch barrel .22 LR Ruger Single Six for plinking. While I don't shoot them much, and with the same degree of accuracy as my S&W DA/SA adjustable-sight revolvers, the Rugers are a load of fun. The snubby Montado is more than sufficient for point shooting at close range.
When I first started shooting I really wanted a Winchester 9422. But they cost so much back then I stuck with bolt actions. I was thinking of a Henry Golden Boy rimfire to mach my Big Boy but really could not justify it. I already have a Stirling bolt action .22 with suppressor, scope and streamlight for night time bunny/possum busting and a Brno #2 for field target work, so a third rimfire worth more than both combined just for CAS rimfire side shoots was out of the question. Then I found the Chiappa on a local auction site at a price that could not be ignored..
So far I have really only had a chance to sight it in. To be honest the open sights are a bit too course for my taste and accuracy isn't as expected. But the action is slick and the trigger quite nice if a bit heavy. I will probably end up putting a 4 X scope on the rifle at some time which should improve accuracy with quick detachable rings so I can use in for CAS shoots where X ring accuracy isn't needed.

These are mine that I purchased in the early 80's. I used them for SASS matches and have shot tens of thousands of rounds (.45 Colt) through them. When this photo was taken about 8 - 9 years ago I had just them refinished up at the Colt Factory as they were pretty shabby after all the CAS shooting. Colt did an AMAZING job and they look better than they ever did as they were never case colored this well in the 80's. The genuine Ivory's do net get their due in this photo but are spectacular in person and they have aged really nicely. I think it's time for a new picture but until I get to it, here are some of mine. I've also got a set of Nickel with Sambar Stag which I might photograph as well.

Here's my pair of Frank Leaman engraved Colt .45s again (made in 1920 and 1957). Together in their holsters, one (1920) in a lefty holster, and the other one (1957) making up my "Patton" pair with my 27-2.

Hey, Duke. I saw your Shane gun and rig at another gun forum about single actions. What a great and accurate set up. Just perfect. You have to post the Shane holster sometime.
