Skeeter Skelton holsters

[Machine Shop Dude]

I am trying to find as many pictures of the holsters he used from his shooting time days and such. All i have is google and a 2006 Best of shooting times and guns and ammo. Not having much luck, I am trying to make a holster and gun belt for a Smith and Wesson 624 as well as others.

Didn't he like Tom Threepersons holsters?

I think early on Skeeter Skelton used holsters from the S.D. Myres Saddlery Co. as well as similarly designed holsters by Tom Threepersons from the El Paso Saddlery Co. He also liked the old George Lawrence Co. holsters for his single action revolvers; the Model Number 120 in particular.

And of those three, El Paso Saddlery is still a going concern. Their stuff is really good and really expensive!

He used a lot of El Paso saddlery as previously mentioned. QUALITY leather goods, built in the same shop since 1898.

Tom Threepersons was a favorite.

His Son is around, Bart would know exactly what he had. He's on Facebook. Still lives down in Deming, NM.

If you're buying their holster and belt combos, they are pretty pricey.
However you can get the Tom Threepersons holster for $90.
I don't think that's expensive for a quality leather product. With proper care it would last decades.

I remember back when you could walk into El Paso Saddlery and chew the fat with the guys. I had a pristine Colt 1908, and took it to them. They produced a replica of the holster that had been issued with that pistol to General Officers, except I needed a left hand version. The end result was perfect.

I own some EPS leather and it was worth every penny.
