New leather for a Blackhawk....

While being considered "foolish" for the practice, I still carry a Single Action. Just got this holster yesterday, the No.1 Shuck from Barranti Leather, for my .45 Colt Blackhawk:



And, on the hip:



Seems to be a fine, well made holster. And a beauty in simplicity.

I am looking for something like that as well. That is a beauty. If I may, where would I purchase that holster (and belt)? I have your same 45 Colt BH with the 4-5/8 barrel.

Hardly foolish. That is some firepower there. Per my ongoing thread, I see my Single Six and BH 45 Colt more as hunting back up (or even primary for fun). But regardless, I could hardly say that you are under gunned!

I would prefer to carry a single action in cross draw, Louisiana style, butt to belly button, 45 degree on left abdomen for right hand draw. But I could be completely happy with your rig.

This is Barranti's web site:

http://www.barrantileather.com/

Crossdraw doesn't work for me for several reasons, (1) My coat is usually open which would display my gun butt, and (2) The way I draw makes cocking the hammer a mite slower in crossdraw manner.

My draw is the old "punch to the mid-section" draw and fire.

I must stand in front of my Sunday School class, and think a display of a gun butt might be a tad disconcerting to some folks. They know I do carry, as does my Sunday School teacher, but we sort of conceal our guns.

All right, Mr. Wright, based on the
photo you provide of said holster and
weapon on your hip, I see the weapon
is belt fed.

Is that legal?

So long as it is not full automatic.

Thanks for the info and link.

I understand you are attempting to conceal, I am not. I have other pistols/revolvers better suited for concealed carry. I open carry when hunting or out and about in the woods. No need to conceal for that purpose.

You make good points with a coat, but I can reach into my coat as fast as I can flick it away for side carry, about the same. And I am open carry.

Again, thanks for the info.
