HSR

We are currently offering a special edition HSR. They
are beautifully hand carved by a local saddle maker of our acquaintance and built in our shop. These hand carved holsters are offered in natural tan and black.
Matching belts and accessories are also available.
Please call our shop for more details and pricing.

Milt designed the original Hackathorn Special in the mid 70’s and named it after his friend and fellow IPSC founder, Ken Hackathorn. The Hackathorn Special was a high-ride, muzzle-forward rig for 1911’s that incorporated the adjustable tension welt that was the heart of our 200AW and Gold Label rigs.

Today the Hackathorn Special is no longer available for semi-autos but the concept and name have evolved into this highly popular revolver holster. The main difference between the HSR and 200AW holsters is the absence of the hammer shroud on the HSR. Also, the 200AW is not offered in the muzzle forward configuration, which makes the HSR ideal for those who prefer a cross-draw holster for hunting or field use.

In construction we use two layers of 6½ -7oz vegetable tanned leather bonded and stitched together, leaving the smooth finish on the inside and outside of the holster. The adjustable, slotted welt is skived and tapered to prevent the welt from backing out once the screw is tightened. It is then meticulously hand stitched in place for long lasting durability.

Standard cant is muzzle to the rear (FBI style rake). Straight drop or muzzle forward (cross draw) available on request. Please specify when ordering.

The HSR is available for most revolvers with barrel lengths up to 7½ “. It can be fitted to belts up to 2” wide. Colors available are black or natural tan.

All prices include shipping and handling unless otherwise noted.
