Very nice holster and the bourbon would make a great companion to a western film night on the box.

Watched the new Tom Hanks Western on Netflix, followed by a couple of episodes of Deadwood. Sore head this morning. Sounds like a good night Bill. I’ve got that film bookmarked to watch. Hopefully tomorrow. I love a western. I haven’t watched Deadwood yet. I mentioned it plenty of times to the Mrs over the years but she just won’t watch it with me, meaning I don’t get to watch it either as we’re always together in the evenings. Hope your sore head clears up soon. We can’t have the town sheriff out of commission, with the fiddleheaded grass bellied hellions headin’ to town  |

It is a bit how shall we say it..........crude....raw........sweary.  |

It’s non stop graphic sex and violence, and she sits there eating her dinner watching it as though its Emmerdale Farm |

Really good looking piece of leather there!! I'm selling it though. The belt is a bit too small for me. It's a waist size 32-36 I would suggest. |

This holster was made with that in mind. I wouldn't want you buying it and it not being perfect for your gun mate. But saying that, it's not bad. Here it is with my Colt Cavalry 7.5"   |

But then again, I prefer the trigger to be exposed as that is easier to pull and fire the pistol. I like it actually. I might keep it.  If you look at this picture:  You can see that it would hopeless to a gun fighter. The Trigger is almost impossible to get your finger in. No as far as I am concerned, the trigger must be accessible in the draw. |

What would be your quick draw process in stages? I don’t touch the trigger until the gun is horizontal, so I’m not at risk of shooting myself. Mine in counts is: 1. Hand around grip, thumb on hammer 2. Gun from holster, vertically upwards 3. Begin rotation 90 degrees to target, simultaneous cocking of hammer 4. Finger to trigger and point shoot/instinct aim to target and fire I lay my finger on the outside of the holster so I don’t shoot myself in the leg accidentally as I draw. It seems slow written out but practiced is really quite fast I realise that I’ve given away my secrets now, but I’m sure we won’t have to face each other at dawn. It’s against covid regulations anyway!  |

It’s against covid regulations anyway! My pistol is in the right hand cross draw position with my hand hovering slightly above it. I like to be able to feel the trigger as I go for the draw. The hammer is resting on an empty chamber so that's safe (always five in cylinder, not 6). As I draw, the trigger finger is already squeezing the trigger and my thumb is cocking the hammer. As soon as my thumb leaves the hammer the shot is fired.   And at 75yds, you'll miss me anyway. I won't. |

I'd like to think we'd be on the same side, against the bandits that have just ridden in from AGFville looking to cause trouble. 75 yards? That's over your shoulder in a mirror, right?
