California Slim Jim for Ruger Blackhawk

I'm often chided for my penchant for holsters without retaining thongs or straps. But such holsters of mine that are so made are for daily social purposes where I am not likely to be engaged in strenuous physical activity. Here is one I made nearly a hundred years ago (it seems) for more physical endeavors:

This photo was made before the invention of color, by the way.

And still is in good condition:

There is nearly fifty years difference between those two photos.

Bob, I've gotten to where I don't even want to make another holster with a thong or strap. Although I do still think there's a place for tension screws on less period holsters. I think a lot of folks just 'think' they need some sort of retention.
 
You guys make we want to get a 6-shooter and dress up with a custom holster. Jeans with a Jean shirt! oooh yeah!
 
Absolutely pulchritudinous Craig!

And Bob, your holsters look splendid.

I like looking at good leather almost as much as guns.
