New Holster arrived

[jeffrefrig]

I ordered this from Barranti Leather for my M27-9. It came out pretty good, gun fits perfect. They did a great job, IMO.
With obligatory picture of Angel and her little cousin Bela we were dog sitting yesterday while my wife’s brother was at the Pitt game. Glad I covered the couch.

Noice. Please always show the backside, the execution of the belt loop's end is always part of what's to be admired.

I didn't know that these pictures were obligatory..........I'll try to remember that.....

Nice holster BTW!

Whatever the wait time, it's worth it for Docs. products.

I was quoted 12 months last week. Hopefully I can get mine before then.

I've got one due end of January for my Model 41 with field bbl. Looking forward to it.

What style of holster is that? Threepersons?

A true Threepersons has the trigger guard completely exposed including, of course, the trigger. Was considered necessary in the 20th century to expose the trigger on both revolvers and autos though there were exceptions.

A true Threepersons uses only the pressure from its welts inside the main seam to retain the pistol, has a closed muzzle, no strap. The Myres version carries the pistol high on the belt and at a 24 deg grip forward angle, while Tom's was neither high nor canted.

This one was Tom's original, alongside what it evolved into for the FBI by Myres, 1935-onwards version.

What RED said. What is thought of today as a Threepersons is merely a gun bucket.

Cute doggies!!!!!

Great rig, I have a couple of Mike's rigs. Barranti's leather carving with dyed background is as good as Pudy Gear when she was working.

Where did you get those grips.I need a set of grips like that for a square butt K frame.

It was about 18 months or so. I was told it would take about 8 months or so, but they moved the operation from PGH area to Dunn, Texas. It was worth the wait.

The stocks came from Altamont. The stocks that came on the gun I should send back to S&W, as one was thinner than the other. And no finish on them. I had them on a paper plate and put polyurethane on them to shine them up some and that’s when I noticed the difference. These were pretty inexpensive (cheap) and don’t look too bad. I was looking for some N frame stocks in the meantime but I think I’ll just keep these. All of our tastes are different, which is good,

I never heard that before.
Why was it considered necessary?

Red is on a sabbatical for the time being. Most who carried a firearm wanted to be able to get a secure grip on it while it was in the holster. A covered trigger made that more difficult.

The covered trigger and triggerguard is a modern answer to what? Poor trigger discipline? Poor training? I am not sure. I am not really sure when it became a “thing” but it started slowly and crept forward until now folks react to the sight of a holstered handgun with a visible trigger.

Not sure if I have answered your question but others, wiser or more fluent, will be along.

Post 19, regarding how one carries and draws a gun, reading between the lines, makes me want to ask: there's an option when ordering a holster for a wheel gun. Do you want a trigger loop, a side snap to secure, or none. I chose the strap with the snap as I think drawing a gun with the loop seems to have maybe one's thumb to flick off the loop could be a split second slower than rubbing the side of the holster to unsnap it pulling the gun out to fire. For me, I'm slow either way; it just seems more secure for me. "This ain't Dodge City, and I ain't no Bill Cody!" Was that the line? Close enough. Chester could outrun me and outshoot me fer sure!
