Combat Magnum in a Heiser Evaluators Ltd. holster

[turnerriver]

I'm trying to clean up a little,put some holsters away & establish some semblance of order but this one waylaid me & I wanted to share it. There are several things I love about this holster-the two stamps, the hammer protector, the Franz-Loc belt clip, the functional appearance & the Evaluators Ltd. association. It also fits one of my favorite revolvers, as evidenced by the maker inked CM for Combat Masterpiece or Magnum.That's a factory refinished Combat Magnum in it, purchased from a Georgia Bureau of Investigation agent many years ago.
I'm always on the lookout for any Evaluators marked holsters. They marketed Heiser & Berns-Martin holsters under their Quick Draw brand, supplied holsters & firearms for military trials & armed spooks, soldiers, LEOs & regular guys.
Enjoy the photos-here is a holster with history made for everyday use.

Neat! How come I never find stuff like that? Guess I'd probably have to look in Witty's safe.

About what years would they come from John?

1940's or '50's is my best guess, Dick. You're welcome to look in Witty's safe any time.

Great holster, John! And the gun ain't bad either...
I like to find Evaluator's stuff. I have a few holsters so marked and one gun which letters there, complete with the receipt signed by Flora van Orden.

I wonder how the Franz-Loc clip feels against the body.

Have you worn this rig with a belt?

Sure looks looks like a fast and positive rig to hang and remove.

Always great to see your fine holsters.

Thank You

John

John, I've carried this one a couple of times. It was comfortable to wear & I didn't notice any problems with it. I was out in the woods, not carrying concealed.

Be sure and pack a lunch.
