    Works with most leather holsters, but if it has a strap or thumb snap, it will have to be adjusted. I shortened a strap on an old Bianchi leather holster recently (Threepersons style) & it works perfect for a Commander. Old S&W holsters usually sell much cheaper than any 1911 holster.

    Another set of new custom grips from the same maker (Kimber 1911 has been on here before) – mammoth ivory Lone Star set in ebony. Just got the holster as well - an early 1960s George Lawrence actually made for an S&W 9mm (many S&W 39 & 59 leather holsters will fit a Commander 1911 perfectly).

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Today, my black 4X modern Stetson Open Road. Most of my hats are thin-ribbon, OR-style, but I only have two Stetsons - one vintage and this one.

    Mine is .44 HE 2d Model as well, but I wasn't going to say anything! I couldn't afford a triple-lock. It's a beautiful gun & I think you did fine price-wise, based on my recent looking around.

    That is a great find! Mine is nickel with barrel cut down to 4" (long ago & well-done) - but I still hope to find an "untouched" one like yours one day.

    Not a new gun - although new grips can you feel like you got a new gun. New custom-made bone steer head in ebony 1911 grips for my Colt Super 38 (the gun's been on here before).

    Years ago I was issued a P-229 for on-duty and bought a P-239 to go with it - wish I still had them both.

    Movie hats

    Finally found a picture that kind of shows the crease.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I have mostly OR-like thin ribbons (Camp Drafts, Texas Hatters, Resistols, etc.) but I am now down to only two actual Stetson Open Roads - this one and a modern OR in black. Only two SB thin ribbons in whole herd.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Have not worn this one in a while – vintage [early 1960s?] Stetson Open Road 3X in chocolate brown. Crown is just under 5” as creased and the brim is about 2-3/4”.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Coming to the party late today – great hats all around! I apologize if I have recently posted this one – my late 1950s/early 1960s Byer-Rolnick-era Resistol western in light grey 7X beaver – one of the nicest hats I own and I am trying to give it more head time these days. Crown is about...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    It is, but probably not for long (forgot it was on there). Somewhere I have an older one that is of decent quality; but these are cheaply made and look it.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Though Straw Hat Day is not yet upon us, with a heat advisory in effect today, I thought I would take my new Stetson panama straw Open Road out for its first test drive.

    Hats on TV

    I didn't, but I see @Moviehats has the answer. That's in line with the other custom hats by Texas Hatters & when you see them in-person, they look even better than in photos.

    Hats on TV

    Well, I am finally caught up on the show and really enjoying it! When I was at Texas Hatters last Friday picking up my hat, just by chance, the man who owns the ranch where "The Son" was filmed came in with one of his [Texas Hatters-made] hats for a quick touch-up. The house in the show is not...

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    New ribbon called for a new crease – so over the weekend I changed this one from a teardrop to a diamond. Here is my BGCD, just back from getting the new copper-colored ribbon and edge binding at Texas Hatters in Lockhart, TX. A great job, as always, by Texas Hatters!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    On Friday I picked up my Bluegrass Green Camp Draft from Texas Hatters who changed the ribbon and brim binding to a copper colored ribbon for me. This is one of my favorite hats, but it was not getting much head-time – but adding the contrasting ribbon should cure that. Another great job by...

    What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?

    An unexpected dip into the 50s this morning convinced me to wear my Pop’s Leather “G-2” goatskin civilian flight jacket.
