And just showing off. L to R: Sparks, Simply Rugged, Barranti, and Old El Paso Saddlery. The Simply Rugged floral for an extra $70 is a steal. I think second only to Sparks. EPS +$109. Barranti +$105. Sparks - not sure exactly, but a little over $100. Show off your florals.

The Sheridan Pattern by Milt Sparks is my fanciest, and what I consider my "Bucket List" leather holster. It is that one nice rig that I wanted. I may do one for a 1911 some day too. Maybe sell a couple other holsters, I don't know, but it is well worth the wait and the coin. I smile every time I look at it and wear it. If it gets a bunch of marks from being worn over the coming years, then that's all the better too. Both the belt and the holster shown here, I had made and wore at my wedding in 1999. This was from their 50th Anniversary Invitational shoot. The holster has a few marks, as does the belt, but they have held up better than the owner.

First, those holsters are all beautiful works of art, congratulations on owning such classy rigs. Next, Mac I'm surprised to see that 1911 with the hammer down and not cocked and locked?

The gun is completely empty. It was a cold range, which means unless you are the competitor who is shooting next, and have been given the command to load and make ready for your run, all guns must be unloaded. At the end of a run, you are given a command to show an empty gun, then put the slide forward, hammer down, and holster your weapon. That is where it must remain until you are up next. Just don't tell any of that to our resident self appointed SME who has made it his own crusade to teach the world about the dangers of anything but "his way"... LOL.

You can see from this shot that the guns are not loaded. Another character who was also invited to the match:

Someday I sure would like to acquire a floral carved holster. They sure are beautiful. I do have a fixation on basketweave though. Here are a couple Milt Sparks top, EPS bottom.

I don't know if it's floral, but it is as old as the pistol.... Marked - W. WHEELER St Joseph, MO and I'm thinking it likely went along on Gen Shermans' little walk through Georgia......

Some great looking holsters on this thread!
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.
