[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2910229, member: 10465"] I had to post up this one in more detail. I have bought quality holsters from TT Gunleather, Milt Sparks, Mitch Rosen, Kramer...and others, but THIS one has to be my favorite holster in terms of both looks and function. This is the Nightingale Leather Griffon V. It's a snap on OWB holster in Cordovan with Elephant Trim. Kevin Nightingale may not be as well known as Milt Sparks for example, but he does damn fine work and has a wait list of like 28 weeks. He builds all his holsters himself and custom orders are his specialty. I like the dual one-way snaps on each side, that helps ensure that if one were to somehow come loose, which is unlikely, the other will keep the holster on your belt. The holster itself is of the finest, smoothest leather imaginable, and the elephant trim really sets it off, I think. I know I've posted pics of it before somewhere but if you haven't looked at his stuff, well, you should.
