“Colorado” floral carving pattern

Cripple Creek Bob. This somewhat fanciful holster was designed as a transitional holster to bridge the eras between the time of toe plugs and the time of stitched-through toes. Old styles feature a high cut on the cylinder, deep front and trigger recurves and toe plugs. The toe plug is unusual being slightly rounded at the main seam indicating a move towards more “modern” lines. The loop is separate from the skirt definitely indicating a trend toward the modern. Full floral carving also became extremely popular at this time as border stamping began to fall out of favor.

Traditional Quick Draw. This holster is actually a variant on the “Classic” Quick Draw. While the “Classic” has a buckled loop over the pouch, the “Traditional favors a cigar-band style loop. The “Traditional’s” pouch is rather squarish in profile when compared to the rounded toe of the “Classic”.

Chain & four-point star

A bleed knot “tab” was added to the traditional hammer thong. This is both quicker and easier on the thumb when drawing or holstering.

Meanea. This is a variant of our other Meanea rig. The 2 straight loops are identical to that which came from the original FA Meanea shop. However, unlike the original, this one has been cut down on the cylinder and at the trigger guard and has been dropped to facilitate an easier and quicker draw.
