Members Dwane Posted February 17, 2017 Members Report Posted February 17, 2017 I've been looking for awhile for a western style holster that will drop two or three inches for this revolver. It has a six inch barrel and my shoulders not as flexible as it use to be, so a low ride holster is the ticket. Does anyone know of a pattern out there for a 6 in Colt Anaconda? A Smith and Wesson 629 holster fits this gun also Quote

Members wayner Posted February 18, 2017 Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 This. Is a holster. Made for a 629 6 inch barrel Quote
Members Dwight Posted February 18, 2017 Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 Gotta like the concho, . . . But I'm thinking that Dwane said he wanted it to hand down a bit lower, . . . have to wait till he hollers back to see for sure. It is a pretty decent looking holster. I made one for a nephew, . . . little lower drop, . . . sat down in the holster a bit more, . . . May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members Dwane Posted February 18, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) 2 hours ago, wayner said: This. Is a holster. Made for a 629 6 inch barrel This would work but needs to be a few inches lower than the belt and I'd like to have a thumb snap. im currently carrying it in a triple K 96-2 holster. (I tried to upload a pic but it won't upload) Its still a mid rise holster and has a forward slant. i could wear it lower but it's hard to sit in a saddle like that and I'm not a gun slinger.

Members Dwane Posted February 18, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 Found a picture off the net that would up load of the current holster Quote
Members chiefjason Posted February 18, 2017 Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 Since you are probably not concealing this, lol, what about a cross draw holster? All the one's I have done for S&W X frames have been cross draw and were very well received. While it's not western style exactly, although there are western cross draws out there, it fits the bill for being easy on the shoulder. Quote
Members Dwane Posted February 18, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 I first carried this gun in a cross draw but didn't like the angle. It restricted my leg unless I wore pulled over on my side in which case it was hard to reach. If it was more parallel to the belt it would work great. It would also be able to be worn in my truck.

Members Mattsbagger Posted February 18, 2017 Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 Look at the Sam Andrews Carjacker on Andrews leather. Might fit the bill of easy reach and comfort. Not western but an idea to look at. Quote
Members Dwane Posted February 18, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 Since writing the last post I've been trying different angles for a cross draw. I've carried a gun in a lot of jobs throughout my adult life always on the strong side, I think I'm going to still with a strong side holster since it just more natural for me. Just have to figure out how to lower the carry height Quote
Members Dwight Posted February 18, 2017 Members Report Posted February 18, 2017 Dwane, . . . here is a pattern idea for you, . . . this is for a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag, . . . It is very similar in construction to the one pictured by Wayner, except the skirt comes all the way down. The holes in the skirt are where Chicago screws hold the two narrow straps that keep the holster tight to the skirt. The way you drop the holster is really simple, . . . look at the numbers on the edge of the picture, . . . you simply lengthen the leather piece between 45 and 46. For every two inches longer you make that part, . . . it drops the holster down 1 inch from your waist. You could easily make that a Western drop leg holster if you wanted to do that. PM me with your mailing address, . . . I'll put a paper copy of that in the mail to you if you want it. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members Mattsbagger Posted February 20, 2017 Members Report Posted February 20, 2017 I can tell from experience Dwight's patterns work. And he knows gun leather. Quote
Members Dwane Posted February 20, 2017 Author Members Report Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Well I'm trying to upload a pic of a holster that I have that I can use as a pattern. It won't upload saying it's to large and I can't figure out how to change it. This holster was made as a cross draw for this gun it'll take a little tweaking in the pattern but think it will work Got it finally lol Edited February 20, 2017 by Dwane Quote
