Show Me Your leather

I made this Hoppalong Cassidy rig for a friend in the 80's. Quite a chore, this one.

Who made the thumb break holster at the top of the picture? Is it a Safariland model 29? I likey!

The thumb break is a Safariland for the Colt trooper . I had a thumb break for my mod 25 4" , but I can't remember if it was safariland or Bianchi . Letting that combo get away haunts me . 4" is my favorite big pistol length and thumb break maybe my favorite open carry type holster .. I like my mod 29 6 1/2 " in the pic for everything except sitting in the truck with it .
 
My first custom holster, the white stitching didn't look like I thought it would so it turned out to be a "prototype". The second one is brown with brown stitching, it looks much better. I've made a few others for family and friends and have one for my 2" Model 12 in the works...

Bought a holster and double magazine pouch to use on the same belt for my 1911s.

I've posted these many times, but for those that may have missed them,

Andrews Custom Leather, suede lined.

And I really like the holsters from Dave Newcomb. Great for informal shooting in the field, protects blued guns very well.

This one is for my #3 Russian. One day, when I have more money than I know what to do with, I'm gonna get the gun engraved to match it.

I liked the way he did the oak leaves and acorns so well, I had this next rig made for a pair of US Firearms. He did lighter colors on this one, and I think it looks even better.

Granddaughter's holster. Her mama seems to have some hippie blood, as the baby's middle name is Dragonfly. Red Dog Leather, 5 1/2" Single Six.

I always wanted a sawed off shot gun like "Johnny Yuma (was a rebel)", James Caan in "El Dorado", and like yours. How come that shotgun of yours ain't illegal?
 
I will play also.

Black Sheep, that looks like it would fit a 629 classic 5 inch ( full underlug) just perfectly.

if you get the urge to make another, let me know your time and materials cost !
