Thompson Contender Leg Holster

[Jemaddux]

I have a 15 in barrel Thompson Contender. Anyone done a holster for one? I know what I want but have no idea where to start to design or make it. Someone had posted a picture of a short shotgun with a wood pistol grip (movie prop is what I think it was) and now I can't find it. If someone had seen that, that is what I would like to try.It would be a belt with a flat wider piece against the leg, a pocket on the bottom the muzzle would go in, a "U" piece on top that the pistol would slide back in and lock in place and a tie strap on the bottom to tie around my leg. That is the only way I can explain it. Any ideas?

Something similar to this, but with a cup at the bottom to hold the muzzle?

Was it my Mare's Leg holster from 'Firefly'?

which is more important - a quick draw, or protecting the gun?

would something like this in leather work for you?

I think that was it but I want the muzzle to go into something to keep it protected and the clip part on the top I think to hold the pistol in place. I will post a picture of the pistol later so maybe some ideas can come up. Thanks for the help.

Something else you might consider is a crossdraw holster with a real heavy cant to it..like 30to60 degrees. This is how I carry my Howdah pistol. It is handy and doesn't swing with your leg as your walk and I can even ride my horse with it on.

Just a thought
