HOW I CARRY MY 4" N FRAME

[crazyphil]

When I completed selling off a bunch of my holsters I said I would
post my "keepers". Just so I don't get too tired, and you don't get
too nauseous, I will just post one gun a day and the 5 holsters I
have kept.
Here are the holsters I kept for my 4" N Frame, Model 29:
Myres 614
Viking cross draw
Gaylord Federal Speed Scabbard
Idaho Leather
Old West Leather

It would be hard to pick a favorite from those.

 

[Truckman]

I'll have to say I do like that Gaylord, Phil......Ben

 

[AJ]

My N Frames are so big and heavy, and I am so old that I use a "Little Red Wagon" to carry it in!

 

[crazyphil]

Thanks Truckman - I like that Gaylord too. By the way the belt that the
holster is on was also made by Chic gaylord.

My only N-frame EDC holster is an open top Azula in brown...I still prowl the tables for a similar one in black......Ben

Phil, has word got out about you? Do you find cows and horses giving you the stink eye? "There he goes. He's the one. Not here! Follow the plan."

N Frame Holsters

Those are some very nice holsters above.

Back when I carried a 4" N Frame (Model 58) on the job, I carried it in a Hoyt break front holster. I always felt that it was about the best holster for security under normal circumstances. I also use a Hoyt for my K and J frame revolvers when on the job out of uniform.

Like that Idaho Leather !!!

N frame Smith's, beautiful leather, and Bowie knives…what's not to love. I feel good about being an American…

Love your rig. That bowie is sensational!

Hey CrazyPhil: I spied the USAFSS hat. I was in the 6981st and 6917th 1968-71.

Nice gun and nice holsters!

 

[crazyphil]

6917sctgrp - As you probably know, I spent most of the first year going
to school. Then 2 years with the 3rd RSM, and the last year at NSA in
Arlington, VA. I Wasn't married at that time and the girls in D.C.
outnumbered the boys about 10 to 1. Tough duty. 1952-1956

My only holster Pic

This was my only available holster pic, and with an N frame MG. Holster is a Cheyenne Saddle Co. Tom Three persons. Forget who did the knife sheaths. Have similar rigs for my Colts and other Smiths…enjoy.

I was on Santa Ana PD back when Hoyt was in Costa Mesa. Used to go over there all the time. I carried a model 27 in a Hoyt and later on my model 19 in a reverse cant Hoyt. Love those darn things.

Wish I had a picture, also wish I had the holster/belt: A Berns Martin break front for my Highway patrolman with a BM made belt that they put two grommets in so I could swing my 1911 holster from it!
The good old days..............still got the gun though.
