New Model "Hackathorn Special"!

[Sam]

Possibly a Sparks #1AT. Hasn't been cataloged in a LONG time, but I believe they will still make them as a special order... or when guys like Hackathorn want one.

I've watched the video repeatedly trying to identify the holster. It does appear that Ken worn the Sparks 1AT-RT holster in that video. I saw a quick flash of the adjusting screw which is unique to the holster.

The fine people at Sparks still make the 1AT and the revised 1AT-RT. The latter is molded tighter, modified belt tunnel to allow the holster to be pulled closer to the body for better concealment. It has a 10 degree forward cant to compromise between draw speed and concealment. The traditional 1AT has 22-24 degree cant.

Both holsters can be ordered and will appear in their catalog when their website redo is completed.

Milt Sparks makes damn good leather. I need to order another VM2 and #60TK or I-BAK for my 1911.

Cool! I did not know they made them anymore. Guess I'll call 1/2/16 to order one ... Maybe two.

They won't be there on the 2nd, how dare they take the Saturday after the New Year off. This will be back in the shop on 1/4.

Neat. Thanks guys!

After seeing the gun LAV made for Hackathorn in the VickersGuide 1911 book, I have to admit some curiosity about whether or not Wilson is set-up to do the "P210-type" cocking serrations and if that's one thing that would separate this Wilson gun from what might perhaps be Ken's "ultimate" 1911.

My bad and thoughtless of me. That's what happens when you are retired and one day seems like the next.

Another necro:

Did you ever get those holsters ordered?

A little techno challenged so I hope this comes through.

Looks good to me.
