Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
They have a lot of odd and/or elite stuff, like this:
In a moment of weakness, I ordered the bayonet lug and a Victorinox bayonet for the Sig 556.
I'd actually prefer a used, broken in item than something new. I'd expect it to be in black leather.
Hey all.... I’ll start a new thread in the morning, I think... I just don’t have a lot of creative energy tonight.
Oh, OK...I guess I’ll have to unpack the PJs
Evening Win-mag : that’s a fine P-210 there. That is a heck of sidearm. Nice web-site; congrats on the bayonet.
Heh...you’ll find a line of sleepy hobbits camped out on the sidewalk waiting for the new hole to open.
It sounds like you want a M3 or M7 "tanker" holster. They were intended for the M1911, but the government also had similar holsters for revolvers, mostly Colt and S&W with 5" barrels.
A very good discussion of pros and cons, and sources is here.
If you're going for a leather holster, go with something new, and be prepared to pay about $100 for it. You can get similar holsters in synthetics for $30 and up. You want new leather because you can wet-mold it to your handgun as part of the break-in process. Leather is pretty delicate, and something 50-60 years old is just a sack, rather than a critical part of your weapons system.
Don't feel too bad about the price. Serious CCW holders may try 5-6 $100+ concealment holsters before finding the right one. You'll only need one for open carry. A good selection of military-type holsters is at El Paso Saddlery.
The dwarves will be over at the Green Dragon...urp...('scuse me)...
It’s too early for that you know.
No such thing as “too early”...
