I don't carry mine much, but when I do its in a 30 year old Galco western style holster. I'm typically not a big Galco fan, and while its rather plain, it is very well made. Mine is fully lined, and after that many decades I expect to have issues with the liner, and I haven't.

Yep. I wear their gun belt every day for concealed carry. This is my rig for my SAA, though, which is made by El Paso Saddlery.

That belt is a reproduction of the belt typically worn by John Wayne in his Westerns.

PS I made a mistake above suggesting that my belt and holster were made by Galco. I do wear a Galco belt for concealed carry, but the belt and holster pictured above is actually from El Paso Saddlery, not Galco.

Greg, did you make that holster by hand?

Indeed, very nice holster. Greg, do you sew by hand or with a sewing machine? Do you have any pictures to show us some steps of making holsters? Do you also make belts?

I do make belts. I only sew by hand. I do not have pictures of the steps involved, but a quick google search will find you a wealth of information.
