Seems to me there was something about a prickly-pear cactus and a goat in there too?!

Great picture, Mark! Beautiful gun and holster....
I built a 'bikini' shoulder holster for a customer many years ago. He carried his Buntline barreled Uberti in it. He wanted a minimum of leather, only covering the cylinder, and what I came up with was shaped similarly to your Yaqui slide.
I have toyed around with that idea recently, but was concerned about the front sight hanging up on the draw...was that ever an issue for you?

I have shot deer in Texas that two grown men (full sized men, not Fermin sized men) could barely lift into a pick up. For those that don't know Fermin, this means he could have easily lifted the deer by himself!

Can't see quite as well as I used to, but if I am not imagining things, that says: Mr. Charles A. Skelton! You've gotta Skeeter gun there! Cool!

Mike,
The No.5 holster is cut big enough to allow a tall front sight.
I can't get over how good the #5 gripframe looks with the shorter barrel...

Thanks for the compliments!
Alan did everything on the gun except for the rust bluing, which was done by a fella named Charles Danner in Tennessee.
