This is what I ended up with, it's roughly a John Wayne belt and holster except for the cross draw 38 special.Contact @freekforge
Good call, so did you go with 45 Colt? I mean 45 Loong Colt?I told my better half that 3/4 of an inch doesn't matter.
She said 3/4 of an inch matters more than most men like to admit.
So I got the 5.5".
I agree with this suggestion. I have two of their "Tom Threeperson's". They are very well made and reasonably priced. Do take a little break-in though.
I’ve been looking for about 3 years, I find a lot but I’m not paying 3-4-5 hundred bucks for a holster and belt combo like I want. For now I’m using a Hunter brand full leather holster with a almost matching belt. I’m kinda partial to a Matt Dillon looking rig.But where to find?
I've been looking at some drop rigs just for fun, but would like a proper western holster in addition to the "just for fun piece".
I also like Hunter holsters, its all I use. Finally found a left handed one for my 7.5 inch SAA, here are 2 of the 3 I use for my .22 revolversI’ve been looking for about 3 years, I find a lot but I’m not paying 3-4-5 hundred bucks for a holster and belt combo like I want.

Yep, very similar if not exact. I like’em cause they are full grain thick leather. I had my belt built by our local cobbler. Double thickness double stitching with inside the belt horizontal pocket knife sheath, holds a Buck 501 Slimline. I like the setup but would like to have a drop rig like BR describes so the holster doesn’t slide on the belt. That and the pure ”cool factor”I also like Hunter holsters, its all I use.

I grew up on 3 screw Rugers and much prefer a Smith DA.I went through that phase already. Had Rugers and a Henry. Read a lot of Elmer Keith books. Put on westerns while hand loading ammo. It was fun.
Sold them all due to ever increasing ammo cost and my aging eyes need better sights. It was fun and the older Rugers are very solid.
While I enjoy shooting the SM, .45 is expensive. Gotta have a reasonable facsimile in .22. An un-converted(4 clicks)single-six from 1971.
