For me, nothing beats the lines of a good Slimjim holster. It's historically correct for the early cartridge era. Some I've made have one particular aspect or two I really like. I figured it was time to combine some of those ideas into one to see how it looks.
I like the upper lines and the stitched toe of my modified SC Gallup holster design.
Hickock's holster is quite graceful with its triple recurve and narrow toe.
The simple decorative work on many holsters of the type don't take your attention from the naturally attractive shape.
So I put all those aspects together and here's the result:
Is it the perfect holster? Of course not, there's no such thing. But the combined pattern is good and the narrowed, stitched toe is successful. The triple recurve opens up the holster throat. I feel combining those ideas resulted in a more graceful holster.
