Big Iron!

Craig,

All of those holsters are fine examples of leather working art, as is the one you made for my No3 Schofield. However, I have to admit there is a certain appeal in the simplicity of that first one at the bottom. It would look at home in the book Packing Iron. You were doing good work from the start.

There were some mistakes made in it but I have to admit, it's a pretty good pattern and the holster is still perfectly usable.
 
Oh he could have gone on living, but he made one final slip, when he failed to match the Ranger, with the Big Iron on his hip.

Wouldn't those be called "Big Jims"? They do make me think that I should get a 3rd Model Dragoon, whether I "need" one or not.
 
I really like the top one. That perimeter stamp is awesome. Looks like a snake's belly.

And I gotta say, I really like the elk antler grips. I would love to have a set of those on one of my Dragoons.
 
I really like your "first one". Looks very South-of-the-Border to me. I love Mexican stuff. If I had a Big Iron, and wanted a Big Jim for it, that's what I'd want!
 
Gorgeous work on all of them! I especially like the first one you made. It looks like something one might have encountered back when the Dragoon was king. If you have more examples you'd like to share, I think we'd all love to see them!

Thanks,
Dirty Bob
 
Two new Slim Jim holsters for the big 3rd Model Dragoon. One for a customer in dark walnut with double border stamping. One for me in chestnut with triple border stamping. At the bottom is the very first holster I made, which was for this sixgun back in 2013. Things sure have changed!

Is that an original Ruger Bearcat in one the pictures? 3 screws and brass trigger guard are identifying features.
