A superior Holster for a classic revolver. High Noon Holsters Slider is a strong side belt slide for K frames like my 4 inch M19 357 magnum. An immediately attractive holster, the Slider is made of top grade cowhide in a sundown reddish brown finish with the edges double stitched with gold colored thread. Of course belts slides are abbreviated holsters, with the guns muzzle hanging clear of the holster, which allows a single belt slide to carry same size handguns with different barrel lengths. The Slider is a pancake holster style, with leading and trailing edge belt slots to secure it to the belt. The gun pocket is handed molded on both the front and back sides for a proper glove like fit. The leading bottom edge of the pocket is molded so that the revolvers front sight will not catch on the draw.

Security is provided by a thumb break safety strap and an adjustable tension device placed at the top rear of the holster, next to the revolvers trigger guard. The thumb tab of the safety strap is steel reinforced which provides a positive thumb release. The holster fully encloses the trigger guard for safety, preventing premature access to the trigger. High Noon Holsters Slider is an excellent concealment holster for the K frame It carries my model 19 high on the on the strong side hip, close to the body, yet is lightweight, comfortable, secure and fast into action.
