Sal,
Thanks for resurrecting this great thread.
Hard to decide what might be my favorite BBQ gun. Guess it would depend on the circumstances so here are a couple. If lots of you S&W addicts were invited, I might hang this old RM on my side.
On the other hand, if any old LEO's were allowed to show up, I might wear this very early 1911 Super .38 and .38 Safety Hammerless that were the arms of my wife's Texas Sheriff grandfather.

Tried to work a deal for this one to no avail.
A pair owned by a friend and fellow forum member.
I still have the holster but the Combat Masterpiece had to go to pay bills.

Bob, who made the holster on that .38 Super?
Your wife must be very proud of her grandfather & the "reminders" she has.
Here's a couple possibilities.
Regards,
turnerriver

John,
There are no marks on the holster on Sheriff Quillie Clayton Gaddis' .38 Super. No marks on the plain black snap either. It looks a little like the Myres #967 but with a strap and an open toe. However the basketweave on the Myres is diagonal and the one on this holster is vertical so I believe that it may be a H. Heiser.
The 1911 shipped Nov. 14, 1936 to Q. C. Gaddis at Titus County Texas with the ivory grips. (We still have the original box with the tiny IVORY label on the box.) I suspect that Sheriff Gaddis carried it in that holster since he got it.
I'll welcome your thoughts.
Bob

Fun to see this thread come around again. Here is a scratched up K-22 Combat Masterpiece that would feel comfortable at most BBQ's that I attend...
I know that I've shown it before, but it seems to fit nicely in this thread as well.
Thanks for letting me share,

She's been seen before, but here's mine. Wolf & Klar, 3rd model 44, from a 1930s Texas lawman.

Wow! These are some really nice BBQ guns. Sadly, the closest thing I have to a BBQ gun is my Colt series 70 1911.
Guess I need to fix that....with a proper shiny S&W revolver.

Lawandorder: the holster shown with my W&K does not have a maker's mark It is marked "38-44" on the back but it is not a typical stampling... almost as it it were finely engraved. It know little else as the holster was a surprise gift from another forum member who sent it to me when I first posted a photo of the gun a while back. Beautiful hoster and it loves the gun. I love em both.

Family .45 auto, 1918, belonged to my cousin, in 1930s we shot up a storm with a nail keg of loose .45ACP one of his ranch hands brought back from National Guard camp. Gun looked wore out even then & I bought it from his estate a few years ago for $150 & dipped it in the renew vat for half an hour ----

Not a "pimp gun" but a subdued classic! A "pimp gun" is a nickel-plated .32 1903 Colt, with faux black "pearlex" grips. (I know, because I saw one in a bawdy house on a back street in New Orleans.)
Shhhhh... that's just our little secret!

Quinn, I'm not familiar with your Wolf & Klar reference. ?? Were they a custom house? Distributor? Law enforcement supply?

Wolf & Klar was a Texas dealer/distributor who got S&W to put the lug back under the barrel of the N frame. This became known as the 3rd Model, the first was the "Triple Lock" and the second is the 1917 type with the exposed ejector rod.

This is a formal request. It is time for some more images of your Daddy-in-law's 1911, holster and badge. Close ups too.
Thank you.
