New holster, just HAD to share.

I have a new holster here today. I have been looking for a good holster for my Rogers and Spencer 44 cal revolver for some time now. I ended up buying
Packing Iron: Gun Leather of the Frontier West Packing Iron: Gun Leather of the Frontier West
for ideas on holster design and went with a period correct Northern Plains style holster. After several phone calls to Jeff at Shooting Star Saddlery I decided to order one, this is the results and they are amazing.

Anyways, Jeff's company and website is http://shootingstar.montana.com/

He made me a holster and a belt. Am going to get a possible bag when funds permit.










Ok lets get down to the details and show how superb his skill really is.

This is the top band.


This is below the top band.


Bottom band.


And very very top of the holster.


Both bands.

This is a EUROARMS Rogers and Spencer 44 caliber cap and ball revolver in London Grey that I bought in 2009. I used it at the range for target and I love this design. Finding holsters for these is next to impossible. I have seen a few calvery style holsters from dixie but that is about it.






As for fit of holster goes it is a very good fit. The finish is exceptional and anything good I have to say would be a gross understatement at the least.

That is beautiful work and I know you put a bunch of time into it. I've made a lot of holster rigs for SASS folks and cowboy re-enactors which I've done a lot of myself and yours is super....nice work!
