For a 4 inch N frame revolver?

Taking nominations and recommends.

Links and pics appreciated

...best looking....

Hard to beat an El Paso Saddlery Austin or Threepersons holster that has been nicely carved or basket stamped...put it with a matching belt and you have the ultimate in a BBQ setup...

I agree. I like the Tom Threepersons a lot.

For me,

This hand carved Milt Sparks is my "Bucket List" holster.













It is the nicest piece of cow hide I have ever owned by far.

Bianchi Lawman.

Beautiful! Wish they went with one of my shemaghs.

Great Pics, Mackay...

Might you have a shot of the back of your holster?

I also appreciate the links given above.

Seems like I should be able to name a half dozen or so custom or top end makers, but my brain cramps up after Sparks, Rosen, and Barranti.

Can't say that I've seen exactly what I want yet but Mackay's rig is likely the closest.

What about full on custom makers? Any of note in business?

I am traveling for work at the moment, but when I get home in a few days I can. It is a standard 200AW type configuration in regards to build type.

This is not that exact holster, but another 200AW for a 5" N Frame that I have had, and used for years.





In fact it shows the old "Idaho City" stamp, which hasn't been used for 20+ years.

Another one of the carved rig:

+1.....my favorite holster.

Thanks Mackay,

Is that hammer/rear sight shroud ever in the way of clearing the holster?

Field Grade & SJ,

doesn't appear that the Bianchi Lawman is made to fit an N Frame...

Not at all.

As you might tell from the pics of the 5" rig, it has a lot of miles and thousand of presentations from it, and they work well. They are very well built rigs that have been refined over the years. In fact a group of us were up at an industry professional's house who lives around Salmon Idaho a few weeks back and were discussing the evolution of this holster. Someone had sent a very early version to the VP of Milt Sparks (who was also there), and I listened to some of the evolution of the holster from Elmer Keith's use, to the FBI's Hank Sloan's input, to today's version.

This El Paso Saddlery I suppose.

I thought I had seen all of EPS's holsters til EdM posted.

I do believe I need more than one holster. Wanna do an EPS similar to EdM's, and I better get an AW 200 for a K frame.

And here I am with no firm plans yet.

The 629 now lives here, and being in need of a holster I ordered a cheap 5bh Bianchi from midway. Also ordered decelerator grips, just to use shooting up full house loads for brass.

It'd be great to get 2 days off consecutively and play a little...
