So, I should describe this.. The rig was something I proposed to my cousin a while ago (he's a custom leather smith). He delivered. The holster is a wet-set cow hide, molded for that revolver. The top notch is for the optics, but the draw is really smooth. He did a special relief inside the holster for the front sight, a channel, so it draws like a charm. I can clear the muzzle without my elbow breaking my shoulder sight-line, very cool. The rest of the rig is saddle leather. Belt is 1-3/4 as is the shoulder strap. The back pad and shoulder pad really help to distribute the weight. We have a few adjustments to make, but it's really working out well. Still have the Dbl. speed loader pouch to make, but that's about it. BTW, its a Ruger Super Redhawk- 7.5", .454 Casull edit- I'm the fugly thing in the hoodie, my cousin is in the blue T-shirt.
