The Hobbit (film #1) won't be released for two years from this Christmas. They will start filming in less than six months, so we can argue casting and plot rumors, just like TORN.

I think I just found the mother lode of all Swiss weaponry (especially Sig):
Colorado Gun SalesThey 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 like to find a chest-carry rig for the S&W Mdl 10— I've heard it described as a “tanker's” or “aviator's” rig, and perhaps the same rig was used in both professions. I haven't been able to find it on eBay, and may try your link; but if you know a shortcut I'd appreciate it.
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

Soon is good, nothing urgent. I can't see the HH on my sidebar any more, and it has been twelve months. Definitely suggest scenes from The Hobbit.

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.

I don't think you'll find the holster you're looking for at Colorado Gun Sales, unless it was made in Switzerland.
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.

No such thing as “too early”...
