El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
And the fit and finish and quality are exactly as expected = very good
Rides very nice on the hip and the butt is held close to your side -the way I like it. Came pretty quick too - considering that they make these to order - 2 1/2 weeks.

Looks nice. Sometimes the nylon ones are actually practical, but a well-fitted leather one, like a well-fitted pair of leather shoes, is hard to beat!

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
Jr. was looking for an El Passo holster a while back and somehow found one at Cheaper than dirt and ready for immediate shipment. Never did figure that out. He got the same style, Tom Threepersons but I don't think his has the thumbreak. I think I like yours better. It goes perfect with that M10.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
Thanks. Yeah, this is a "duty style" rig. Never seen any at CTD... maybe they tried making a bunch and selling them out through them?

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
Nice rig there. Being an OLD police type, I still had my early rig from the old days. A Don Hume Jordan Border Patrol holster and a Sam Brown belt. Now that's old school! Too bad I can't do pictures. First off I still don't know how to do that here, and second I have no digital camera!
But I like that holster you have there. Carried a similar one when I was in the detective office back before they FORCED us to go autoloader!

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
Both are well chosen. I dig the S&W .38 Special K frames and really like the El Paso stuff. I've never been disappointed with those choices!

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
Thanks. I've got those on three revolvers. They make shooting heavier loads in the 44 Special very comfortable and help keep my hand placed correctly for shooting all loads.

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
O.S.O.K. -- How about some more pictrues of the holster (rear, side, top, etc.) and how about some pictures of the gun itself. Is it a Heavy Barrel? What grips are those and where'd you get them?
Great looking rig by the way.

Doesn't hurt that it looks sharp too! Love that basketweave style, and the fit/finish looks top rate too!O.S.O.K. wrote:"Thanks. It just feels 'right' on the belt."

Those of us who make holsters can see any little Boo Bo`s that may not be seen by others. That is a very nicely done rig.
It will last you for many a year!

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
Very nice gun and rig! How will you carry spare rounds? Loops? Dump pouch? Speedloader(s)?
Winchester M94 30-30 (1980)
Winchester M70 Westerner 30-06 (1982)
Winchester M1 Garand (1942)
Too many others to list - hope to add more levers soon.

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
Thanks for the compliments. Modoc- the grips are Eagle classic grips. Here's a pic of the gun - S&W Model 10-10 recently purchased from Bud's Gun Shop:
If you go to http://www.epsaddlery.com they have some more pics - its got a forward cant and a simple slide for the belt.
Win709 - I have a cartridge holder (pick box) with snap closure from EPS too - it's sized for 44 Specials but the 38's will fit fine too.

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
Nice looking gun and grips. Thanks for the lead on the grips. I'm going to look into getting a pair for my S&W Model 10 Heavy Barrel.

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
You're welcome - they have some other really nice grips there too... some similar to these but with symetrical sides for instance. I like the way the right side swell (I'm right handed) places my trigger finger though. And the contour of the left side allows for the use of a speedloader if you choose - the symetrical version not so much I guess...
Here's a quick pic of what I'm talking about:

I don't think that cylinder release is original to that gun.

Re: El Paso Saddlery holster for S&W M10 arrives
I thought that too until I learned that it was manufactured in 1996 - the year that they started using those... This revolver isn't that old... it came to the US via Australia - traded in by a police department that was switching to S&W M&P 9mm's. They had 2" and 2 1/2" IIRC versions too but destroyed them! Stupid liberal thinking - to keep them from getting into the "wrong" hands.

Great looking gun and leather. My sp101 has ridden in El Paso leather for several years and I have no complaints.

That holster just sets off those grips perfectly! What a great combination!
