Love that old 80's brown leather
Found a "new" holster for my 1983 Model 66 (holster courtesy of private sale by our forum's own bbtrout - thanks, Mike; revolver letters to having been sold in Houston Mar 1983 - I picked it up about 12 years ago).
I always preferred the look and simplicity of the Tom Threepersons style duty holsters over the more modern holsters, and I love that "honey brown" colored gear from the 80's. So I was real happy to score this beauty of a holster to go with my 66.
I worked for the Texas prisons from 1987-2014 (after 3 yrs as an MP at the Fort Hood Stockade from 1983-1986). So I thought I'd include my "retirement award" in one of the pics. We had the S&W Model 65's when I started as a guard with the prisons in the 80's, and our holsters were pretty much identical to this one, just basic black in color. Hope you guys enjoy the pics.
