How do you store your leather?

I'm cleaning out my office this week and need to come up with a better way to keep my holsters than a box. I seem to have accumulated a pretty good selection including 2 SD Myres Threepersons and a Legends in Leather Billy Old rig.
Thanks,

Haven't had time to get to the range with mine.

With the lightened slide would it be safer to just get fresh springs before shooting it? My old lwt commander Super 38 cracked the slide on locking open after one of my range trips.

Mr. Horvath cuts Chevron patterned grooves on the bobbed hammer top so they can still be cocked for single action, you just have to pull the trigger enough to get a grip on the top of the hammer.

Anyone know anything about 22-3000 Levell R-2

Local shop has an old custom SST 1885 HiWall relined to 22-3000 R2 by CC Johnson of Thackery, Ohio. Original barrel was 32-40. Initially thought cool, 22-3000 would be nice but since have learned this is an old wildcat based on the 25-20 single shot case and even if it was very popular prior to WWII...
