ebay leather for my 97

[savit260]

A while back I had read that Mr. Taffin had said that SAA size holsters work well for F/A 97's. I look time and again on ebay and elsewhere to see if I can find a holster I'd like for my 5 1/2" 97 usually with no luck. I do have a really nice Simply Rugged that was made for a 5 1/2" Remington New Army copy that fits it quite well an usually use that, but was thinking I'd like something along the lines of a Threepresons style holster for it as well. I found this one on ebay listed as used and won it for the opening bid. I've always heard good things about Lou Alessi Holsters and won this for the princely sum of $30 plus shipping. What I received was an EXTREMLY nice, lined as new holster that fits my 97 perfectly. Holds the gun closer to the body than any Threepersons style I've encountered before, and rides right where I like it. Can't imagine a nicer holster for $30 !

Very nice. Some of my finest holsters came from eBay. Always some great deals there.

Congratulations on yours.

I've looked around the web and couldn't find any other Alessi holsters similar to this one. Not a style I think of when I think of his holsters, but it's very simple, clean and super nice. I've got a nice old Lawrence 120, and this Alessi is actually MUCH nicer.

Beautiful holster looks like it was made for your 97.
Congratulations.

Alessi was quite an innovator in the holster making work. Finding one of his rigs for 30 bucks is quite a steal!!

Have you ever seen any other Alessi holsters that were similar to this design? I've seen pictures of many of his designs for semi auto's, particularly the Talon and DOJ but never any similar to this.

The quality of this one is really outstanding!

Standard Threepersons pattern, though unusual for Lou.

Score!
