Default A Chief, 2 lightweights, and a Heavy Duty

The old chief 36 flat latch has been with me a while, the 37 and 12 are new additions to the family. Heavy Duty , I know, is in the fiftys but the majority is after 1961. Also pictured with new holsters from forum member Eaglestoker that just arrived yesterday. Do the Ahrens on the HD look too outta place. I kinda like the way they look. Opinions please.

Regards

Bill

Biginge, Eaglestoker did a great job on the holsters. They look great. I do not think the Ahrends look out of place. I too like the way they look. Main thing is, do the Ahrends look good to you and do they work well for you on the HD? I have a M37 and a M12, but I do not have a M36 flat latch. Very nice.

Bill, I love the flat latch! Mine is too nice for me to carry often. The ahrends look good as well. Thanks again!

This is the fourth vote for the Ahrends. They look balanced on the HD.
