Tom Threepersons holsters?

[jaholder]

Looking for someone who's making a quality Threepersons holster, preferably in the older Don Hume style, for my 4" K frame Smiths. I know El Paso saddlery makes a Threepersons but I prefer the retention strap setup of the older Humes.

Thoughts?

You can get the traditional strap on an El Paso Threepersons.

El Paso Saddlery does a good job but Barranti is worth the wait

El Paso- and Kirkpatrick makes/made a sevicable Three Persons.

Asking purely for education:

What is the point of a holster that exposed the trigger on a double action revolver?

^^ To have your finger on, or near the trigger with the draw. It was a different time; fewer lawyers, fewer dumbasses- I guess.

This holster on a single action autoloader, cocked and locked was "interesting" too.

Gotcha, thank you.

I did some research on the holster, and found this thread (sorry to link to another forum, but great info and pics)

What Gaijin said.

It's interesting to note that Bill Jordan, in his book No Second Place Winner, considered any holster not so designed to be complete junk and unfit for duty use.

He knew a thing or two about gunfighting

He also stated that the retention strap should only used when traversing rough terrain. Otherwise, the only retention would be the fit of the leather (which is more than enough in a well made holster).
