I'm having a hard time taking you seriously. With the pinky tucked under the grip, it looks like Mary Poppins is holding that revolver. Spot o' tea, anyone?
Just ribbin' ya a little!!

They may look pretty and be more suited to fanning or whatever. It's just more work (cocking hammer to see sight picture) and somthing else to worry about (you better make sure it's unloaded when cocked in the house.)
I'm sort of thinking that the big partridge style front sight of a Blackhawk or Super Blackhawk is more likely to snag and hook on a holster during a draw. For some using the gun this could be a big issue.
In the case of a carry gun for around the farm I could also see the bigger rear sight sticking out of the holster also getting caught up in cloths and other objects as well if riding in a holster that leaves the rear sight exposed
I just do it as a hobby. But holsters are easy to make -- you can get everything you need from www.tandyleatherfactory.com, including enough leather for a dozen holsters for the price of one factory-made holster.I should think that such a holster would be made commercially. It certainly is a good idea. Are you taking orders?
Fair enough. My preference for being able to see the sights with the hammer down is not a deal breaker.Made the Blackhawk versus Vaquero choice a little while ago. After the dust settled I was holding on to a New Vaquero 45, 5 1/2 inch, stainless. More like the old Colt, sleeker overall without the target sights, could be carried concealed if need be but the barrel is long enough to see when held and fired close to the hip, don't need to look through the sights if I'm not ready to fire and it is hard for me to miss that hammer with either hand. Put both in your hand before you decide.
