Let's See Your Ccw Type Revolver Holsters

[Sixer]

Hey guys,

I have dabbled a bit with OWB revolver holsters but cant quite seem to get them like I want. I'm working towards something similar to Galco's "Fletch" style holster. To me, the revolvers are more difficult (and less fun) than making a holster for a semi-auto. Just my opinion

I'm going with an open top for a Ruger GP100, slight forward cant, high and tight. This is one I made for a friend (did it for free, so I decided to play around with some snake and see what happened). I think it turned out pretty good for my first try at inlaying, but the actuall fuction leaves much to be desired. My biggest concern is re-holstering.

Anyhow I would be interested to see some of yor revolver work. Thanks!

ETA - I apologize for the GIGANTIC pics! I'll try and fix that when I get home.

Hmmm.... I thought I had more pics than that of previously made holsters for the wheel guns... guess I need to put the camera back where I can find it again...

Ruger GP100--retention strap mostly works, if I make another one I'll adjust the position so it works better. I've since added a tension screw in front of the frame.

Here is my GP100 in my BNA (Bruce Nelson Avenger) soon to renamed BNP (Bruce Nelson Professional). It is the only picture I have and it is not quite finished in this picture. Edges are not done and no finish coat. This was a mistake wearing it like this that day as I dinged the leather pretty good when it was unprotected.

I don't make revolver holsters anymore, but I still have pictures of the first two I ever made.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but is there any particular reason you don't do revolver holsters anymore? Those are beautiful!

This is our latest version/model. It was recently pictured in the March 2010 issue of Shooting Illustrated.

I have been very gratified by a continuing high demand for revolver holsters, and I make several holster models. Here are a few:

Model 5-T strong-side belt holster.

Model 5-T configured as cross-draw.

Classic Threepersons-style, hand carved to the original pattern.

Enhanced Pancake model.

Enhanced Avenger model.

Thanks for the compliment. I quit making revolver holsters because I spread myself too thin in too many directions and something had to give. I chose to drop revolver holsters because there are so many models that acquiring the necessary dummy guns would have been a massive (and expensive) undertaking. Besides that, I'm not as experienced with revolvers, so I couldn't offer as much insight into how a revolver could be more effectively carried and concealed.
