You know, NONE of my gunleather is 'fancy' in any way, but it's functional.
Colt Magnum Carry .357 , Galco Speed Scabbard, Triple K western belt--- the gun just snugs down inside that clamshell of leather. Very secure/sturdy.I bought the Galco as a CCW rig and you have to admit the gun dissapears in there. I wish speedloaders could be so well concealed.
Colt Official Police (1927) .32-20 6 inch, jade grips, vintage Bauer Bros. holster, Trailrider products cartridge slide, vintage leather belt hand made.
Ruger Vaquero .44 mag tucked away in a woods-worn Trailrider Products 1863 pattern holster and cartridge belt, Cold Steel Tanto bought in 1985 lurking under there.
Colt 1917 New Service Army in an IMA repro 'butt back' WW2 style holster, Bianchi gunbelt. Love this holster but it's very stiff. I have seen this style of half flap made now and aagain by other makers and really like it.
As you can see I prefer a belt holster that nearly completely covers the gun, the Bauer is an exception as I wanted a 'period' look. I tend to wear my 'belt guns' cross draw (Vaquero, 1917, Colt OP).
