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?

I know, I've got an EPS Threepersons for my 1911's. The retention strap on the Hume holsters is riveted and allows the strap to lay better along the holster when not in use.

There's - what I'll call - a persistent rumor that Bill Jordan left the USBP and went to work for the NRA, focusing on firearm safety, after he negligently shot a fellow USBP officer.

The officer he negligently shot was John Rector. Rector's daughter gave an account on a firearms board regarding the incident here https://thefiringline.com/forums/sho....php?p=2384639

I'd be fascinated to hear about a modern US law enforcement agency that currently issues a duty holster for a revolver or semi-auto firearm with an exposed trigger.

I am not aware of such an agency in this country. It would be a ridiculous liability risk.

Luke has an excellent variation on the classic Threepersons holster. The retention strap can be unsnapped from the holster, or snapped to the back and out of the way if so desired, his version also has a covered trigger guard...or he'll make one with no strap...Very nice guy and excellent craftsman!

Beyond the liability, I think it flies in the face of modern gunfighting wisdom. Not to take away from legendary gunfighters of the past, but our generation now has it's own legendary gunfighters who would not recommend this type of holster for anything bu nostalgia.
