Does anybody have a picture of an old Gordon Davis holster model 14450? I kinda remember the model no. but can't put a mental picture of the holster on it. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure what that one is. I have several Davis holsters and I know he changed model numbers occasionally. Does the one you are looking for look anything like this:

The holster originally has a more severe rake, but I changed it.

Thanks for the pictures. That's a nice rig there, it was the state of the arts in its day. I think your holster was the Realist, although I'm not 100% positive. I was told by a couple of people that the 14450 was known as the Taylor Omega.

Below is a picture of my Gordon Wm. Davis Realist # 1145.

It is different from Mushinto's rig, which is beautiful.

I was friends with Gordon since the early 1980s, and had a bunch of his holsters. In fact, I convinced my department at the time to go with his duty holster.

I also have a copy of his last catalog, and the model in question is the Taylor Omega. (I also have two of them).

Nice pics of the other rigs, though. I'd love to buy that basketweave rig, but I'm sure the belt is too short for me !

The back of the Davis Realist. One of my all-time favorites - Very fast, and strongly crafted in the extreme with a steel insert. Concealable with the right clothes. Sorry for the large picture, will correct future postings.

It's a 36. I hadn't intended on selling it, but there's a custom knife in the for-sale section that I can't get out of my mind.

I haven't been a 36 since high school (sigh).
