Custom holsters in my area

[Forty Rod SASS 3935]

I have a Cimarron Arms First Model American sixgun with an 8" barrel that needs a western style holster and so far I can't even find anyone who knows what the gun is or looks like.  I don't want anything fancy, maybe on the order of the Slim Jim style and a matching belt.  Most importantly, I want to work with the craftsman to get it like I want it and I don't want the gun to be at the shop for months on end.  Someone in the vicinity of Prescott Valley Arizona would be ideal.

 

Any suggestions or recommendations?

I would ask your gun store owner, gunsmith, and local leather store for their recommendations for holster makers.  Or go to a local SASS match and talk to folks.

You have a gun show coming up. Maybe see if you can find someone there?

I'll try both ways.  There's a man here who makes the best holsters I've ever seen, except he won't do it any way but his way.  I have three of his rigs, but I walked away on this one and one before that.

 

If you want a really exactingly perfect historical rig he's the man to see.  Show him a picture and wait for a few months and you'll get a wonderful rig, even down to tooling and carving.

If there is a shoe repair outfit in the area, they might have somebody. Maybe go talk to people at Tandy Leather Factory.

I have three shoe-boot repair places. Two don't even want to discuss it, the third is the guy I mentioned before.  I may have to work with him.

 

There are lots of good workmen here but none is free for backlog reasons like making CCW and tactical goods, and if they are free to do the work they are usually making rigs for SAA types, '75 Outlaws  and few for Schofields.

I don't know where he is at, but @Rube Burrows has sure turned out some nice looking holsters for the S&Ws.
