Thanks, I had been wanting one for some time. I had started making my own, but contacted Mike and we made a deal. I sent him the gun to hand-fit to the holster. I couldn't be more satisfied!

Hi, the Pietta Yank with Taylor's .45 Colt conversion cylinder and LeatherSmithMike's holster photo. Yep, the Yank has a taller dovetail front sight to have poi-poa @25yds using .45 Colt cartridges.

Richard

We have a creative bunch around here. Great stuff Richard.

I think there's nothing we can't do. Gun repair and modification, leather work, ammo construction, historians, you name it. We're pretty lucky to have such a great group.

Hi, hey reb, did you shoot eight or did you shoot nine? Maybe even a shotgun blast? A blast from the South's past, the LeMat.
Of course, the LeMat holster is a LeatherSmithMike's.

Richard
