ElPaso Holster

Now that's a very cool set up you have there. I like it despite not being a big fan of floral/carved holsters. I tend toward the plain when it comes to holsters. However, I am a big fan of El Paso. I particularly like how they fold over the liner to make a contrasting accent. Here's a pic of the El Paso Tom Threeperson holster with my Md 5906 (also fits my 4516).

That's great. I love that holster, and love the fact that you went with the hammer thong instead of the retention strap. The dyed background really emphasizes the floral carving, too. I actually just ordered another belt and holster from EPS and I went with their Extra Fancy Floral Carving.

So far, all my EPS stuff is border stamped, but I decided to go floral this time, except I didn't get the dyed background. I'm looking forward to getting it.

Dang Watchdog, I wrote above that I was a "plain jane" kind of guy when it came to holsters but that EP border stamped rig you pictured here is awesome! I'm not ready to go floral but maybe border stamping is in my future?

It's just my opinion, but I think the border stamping style that EPS uses adds an extra dimension to the leatherwork. Or maybe I should say a different dimension, since any sort of stamping or carving creates its own look. And the border stamping really doesn't cost that much more...so why not give it a try?

As I mentioned in another post somewhere in this forum, when I received that first belt, I was totally (and pleasantly) surprised. I'd ordered border stamping, expecting only the edges of the belt to be stamped. Had no idea they'd stamp the entire width.

That's finer than frog's hair, that is!! Enjoy it.:)
 
I don't want to hijack the thread, but (and please forgive my ignorance) can someone explain how the hammer thong works? If the thong is around the hammer spur, how do you draw the revolver?
 
I bought one of their rigs, holster,belt with cartridge loops for my 629 about 20 years ago. Great makers. How long did it take to get your holster? thanks
 
Good Gun Leather

I have three Tom Three Persons models for my Mod. 27's and 29 plus gun belt and cartridge carriers for .38 & .44. El Paso holsters are attractive designs, well made and practical. My usual wait time was 6-7 weeks, varying on the time of the year. Have never had a problem with the company or their products.

That's one of the finest lookng rigs I've ever seen. :cool:
 
With the thong you need to have it adjusted just right so a push up with your thump pushs it over the top of the hammer. I dont recommend it even though I have this one from el paso. Its good and secure if you arent in a hurry.



 
I bought a belt from EP a few years back,and I think that the leather must be defective,as it seems to have shrunk a few inches.It's too short to wear now.
