When in Texas...

[trigger643]

I moved to Texas in February. Plates for my car. Check. Driver's License. Check. EZ toll pass. Check. Appropriate leather for a 1930 Colt...

Um, okay? But I'm not getting a horse nor spurs.

You don't need a horse and spurs to be a cowboy. You do need some cows though and a hat wouldn't hurt......

That holster is very good looking, but honestly I don't think I could come up with a design that would further increase you chances of accidentally shooting yourself with a 1911

Guess you've never seen an Audley...

No, I haven't. I'm guessing the clip by the trigger is a retention device? What get's me about the first holster, in addition to the exposed trigger, is the strap that goes over the grip safety. I can't understand the reasoning behind the exposed triggers though.

General,

The methodology behind the designs was the pistols were not to be carried in either of these holsters in condition zero. In their day they were quite popular, especially with law enforcement like this Texas Ranger's...

Of course, the Texas Rangers also had a popular modification to their 1911's at the time...
