Back in the days when all us cops were carrying revolvers there were some special challenges to deal with for holsters. Revolvers (like my 40-year old 6" Model 19 shown) were frequently equipped with target sights, target hammers, and other protrusions with sharp edges. These could tear the linings out of jackets, and many a punctured arm happened.

The holster style shown is generally credited to Hank Sloan. Basically a modification of the classic Tom Threepersons design with a curved and flowing extension to cover the hammer and rear sight, thus overcoming some of those little challenges.

This one was treated to full floral carving in the Sheridan style, and my carver went all out with three different floral displays. Lined with soft smooth calfskin to protect the revolver finish. As shown in the photos the Hank Sloan style extension can also be closely formed and add a bit to the holster's retention qualities.

Every now and then I just have to take a break from the regular production stuff and do something fun.
