Just curious if anyone had any pics of S&W's in Tom Three Persons holsters?

Here's a couple shots of my 30's vintage 38 M&P Target in a S.D. Myres rig....

Please forgive a Colt 1911 in the S&W Forum, but that weave looks just like my S.D. Myres rig. You don't see many of those around anymore.

Bullet bob where did the grips on that Model18 come from?

Glad to see so many fans of El Paso Saddlery. I'm not expecting to be jumping around, so I usually order mine with a hammer thong instead of a strap.

I thought I would resurrect this thread to show off my two new Threepersons holsters from LoboGunLeather.

The snubby is a Model 19-3. Keeping in the retro frame of mind with the Tyler t-grip. It just happens to be what I consider the best way to make the factory magnas usable.

The left-handed holster with the Model 63 is my brother's Christmas present from me. The holster, not the Kit Gun. He has an identical 63. Again, I believe the T-Grip adds to the nostalgia of the whole package, while making the little j-frame stocks a little more hand filling.

I'm thinking my next project for Ray might involve my Colt New Frontier .357 (I have about decided to keep it) and a carved or basket weave Threepersons holster with a rawhide thong rather than a strap. Would that combo make a good BBQ rig?

Here's another example of an EPS Threepersons. In this case it's for 4" N-frames.

This one has the strap but I think the next one I get will have the leather thong instead.

Here's one from Simply Rugged that I had made for my S&W 617.

S&W Holsters made the 01 style with a hammer protector which is sometimes called the FBI style holster. A Tom Threeperson with hammerprotecter (which protects the jacket lining from the hammer spur).

The "hammer protector" is intended to keep the cover garment from snagging on the hammer and rear sight. Generally credited to Hank Sloan, and holsters with this feature are usually refered to as "Hank Sloan style".

Very popular from mid-60's until the early-80's.

Terrible photo of my pre-29 in an Alamo Leather Works holster. I think its about 30 years old.

Are those beautiful grips from the factory?

No, someone had relieved my birthday gun of its Cokes, so I had Keith Brown make this set.

Here's the one I got from Lobo gunleather.

Crossdraw (my holsters MUST be crossdraw) for a 4" N.

Back in 1955 I received a copy of "Sixguns" by Keith. I had to have a Colt SA in 44 Spec.Took me 2 years to find a pre war SA. Then I had to have a Geo. Lawrence #120 holster for the 7 1'2 " bbl. Still have the old gun & holster. Both are in fine shape, wish I was in that good a shape.

Thanks for reviving this thread, I hadn't read it before. Some beautiful holster photos posted! I wish people wouldn't post that they find these in "used holster" boxes -- I claw through every box of old gunleather I find at LGS's & gun shows and have yet to find anything near as cool as any of the holsters shown. About the best I've ever done is a couple of different Bianchi #5's from the 70's or 80's- not bad but certainly no floral SD Myres.
