Ken Null's RSS

crazyphil · Feb 20, 2016

This is my 2nd attempt to post photos. Please bear with me. Criteque's are invited.
Ken acquired Paris Theodore's Seventrees patterns, but this design probably goes back to Chick Gaylord who mentored Paris. SSS was the Super Speed Scabbard. RSS is Ken's Revolver Super Speed.
The RSS is a fold-over tunnel style.
Ken is a world class master holster maker so I was amazed when
I ordered on January 23rd, 2015 and found the holster in my
mailbox on January 31st, 2015. Many of the big name makers
take from six months to forever. At my age I can't wait that long.

P.S. That's my Model 10 Snubby reposing in the RSS.

Congrats on getting a fine holster. Ken Null's work is excellent plus.

You're doing a fine job posting pictures!

And Ken Null does make quality gear.

This is one of his Vam driving holsters.

s&wchad I have been curious about that model with os Bodyguards.

Would it be a terrible imposition to ask if you have an image with your revolver in the Vam?

Thank you .

As requested...

Sorry for the delay, but I had to dig out a Bodyguard.

The Vam is an extreme crossdraw (almost horizontal cant), that was designed for fast access while seated. The pull through snap (Alessi style) tightens the mouth of the holster behind the recoil shield, so it accommodates a conventional J frame, a Centennial and a Bodyguard. The welt wraps behind the trigger guard, so you need to lift the butt while drawing to release the snap and clear the welt. The retention is extremely secure and takes some getting use to. I find that a slight twisting motion while drawing works best.

The first photo shows a Model 49 and the second a 342:

Holy Guacamoley that is a very good looking holster! Further inquiries will be made.....!

i agree with crazyphil.............

............Mr. Null produces outstanding products.
I own two examples of his work, and thanks to s&wchad's images and comments I may just have to add another.

An early IWB and another RSS.

Law and Order we both have the same style of Ken's RSS except I asked him to extend the leather up high enough to form a shroud between the hammer spur and my jacket lining. He is one of the best if not the best.

I have several of Ken's holsters. I personally like the GSS the best and have three of those for different K and L frame guns. I also use the SPS with my model 637 and the GBS/UN1 with my Colt Defender on a nearly daily basis. Before I retired in 2002, I carried a model 60 in a SKR whenever I was out an about in the summer in a T shirt, under my shirt, as an off duty piece. I received a couple of versions of the SSS after my brother passed away as he liked those with his Colt 1911's. I use his CBT as my dress belt because of it's looks and stability with weapons in concealed work. Over the years dealing with Ken has been a pleasure and he is always very fast on delivery and does great work.

Lawandorder I too have lusted for Ken's VAM model, but I already have several driver's holsters. So many guns & holsters and so little time & $.
