Tom Threepersons vs something else

[sipowicz]

Sorry Lefty ... An oversight on my part not mentioning you. I've heard great things about your work!

Have you seen his NY reload holster? It should be in a holster museum!

I like the Brill style too.

Iggy...are those factory rounded targets or did you do it? I have never seen that style before...

Yup,I carried this old model 58 with a pair I made back in 1966.
I had Mike make me some PC targets out of some boogered up ol Targets I had layin' around.

K frame.

N frame.

Smith,
I have an old thumb-snap, Bianchi pancake that has served my 4" L frame well since the early 90's. I like the Threepersons, but it sticks out too much for concealed carry to suit me.

I really like a Threeperson's for woods bumming. I carry mine on a 2.5" gunbelt (that is to say a separate belt). I like a moneybelt style for lighter guns like 4" N frames but a stiffer belt with suede lining for heavier sixguns.

I order my Threeperson's with a thumb strap whether they are SA or DA so retention isn't an issue.

If you go with a Threeperson's with thumb strap make sure you get the strap long enough past the snap to catch it easily with the edge of your hand as you draw (I like 4" extra). El Paso accommodates this request easily.

IMO, the most evolved Threeperson's is Milt Sparks 200 AW. I haven't tried one yet.
