I use a carved leather holster from Rick Bachman of Old West Reproductions in Montana. My gun is a blued Super Blackhawk in 44 mag, 7 1/2" barrel. I found that quite a few holster makers don't make their holsters for the Blackhawk raised front sight and adjustible rear sight. Rick Bachman does. The pattern I ordered was the Teddy Roosevelt double loop. It is a copy of the pattern of the holster made for Teddy Roosevelt when he was ranching in South Dakota. Fits my gun like a glove. I will post pics later, but I can tell you it is a work of art.

All the above are excellent choices. I also like this Rick Gittlein holster I got through Rob Leahy a couple years ago:  |

I have two holsters that I use for my 7-1/2" single actions. The first one is a DeSantis crossdraw rig that is perfect for when you are riding in a Jeep or on an ATV:  The other one is an old Safariland belt holster. It is great for packing the 7-1/2" pistolas when out in the woods:   |

My favorite is the last steel lined Fast Draw holster made by Andy Anderson for his personal 7.5 inch Colt Big Iron.

Fermin would you happen to have a pic of one of those Longhorn Companions on?

Maybe you didn't see this picture, but I have a 7.5" Single Seven on. The LC rides nice and close, out of the way and very comfortable even for a size large guy. Also have on a 7 slot belt slide for the 327 Federal on one side and a 6 shot slide on the other side with .257 Jackrabbits in it.  Here is Ray with one of his:  |

Ferman Thanks for the photos !!!! Now that I know what I am looking at, I fully understand the concept and the versatility of the LC. I fully understand how that it could be used in a crossdraw fashion in a truck or car.
