Holsters

Our concept of the holster varies from most other makers. While we offer a large number of period correct gun leather, we also understand the need to build all of our rigs to suit the ergonomic requirements of today's shooters. Our specialty lies in providing the correct rake and drop and in tailoring "ease of draw" to your specific activity or wishes. In short, the shooter is not limited either functionally or aesthetically and we have no problem with you taking the details from one or more holsters and applying them to another.

HF Brimstone

Black

Brimstone Slim Jim. This holster features a high, old tyme cut on the cylinder with lovely, sweeping rsecurves at the front of the pouch and at the trigger. The pouch itself is an unusual straight taper. With its toe plug and traditional high cut, it would be historically accurate for the late 1870’s through to the late ‘90’s.

Repeating 9’s and beartooth border.

Hollywood

Black

Hollywood: As it’s name implies, this holster was one of many classic holsters from the Hollywood era. It has a fully-exposed trigger and a stitched-though toe with a lowered cylinder cut and a slim profile pouch.

Carved Copper Rose

Rather than the standard leather loop, this holster features a contoured band with a ranger buckle set as its loop.

Joel’s Holster

Light Mahogany

Mexican Loop. This is a period-correct holster with a single loop & plugged toe. It is cut high on the cylinder and has fairly deep trigger and front recurves.

Northern Plains Floral with repeating 9’s border. This pattern is period correct for the 1880 through early 1900’s era.

Engraved silver overlay concho on loop.

Mattie Hays’ Holster

Burgundy

Old California slim jim. This is a heavily contoured slim jim of the California style that would have been popular from the late 1840’s well into the 1870’s. However, the spot pattern indicates a slightly later turn-of-the century influence as does the geometric pattern centered between the borders.

Spotted target with Hamley geometric center

This holster is raked 25 degrees muzzle forward. Spots are sunburst-pattern antique nickel.

Heart Border Holster

Black

Great Plains

Heart Border

The holster was dropped so that the bottom of the grip frame lies at the top of the belt line, facilitating an easier draw. The loop has been graced with an engraved, silver-plated heart concho.

Miz Pitty’s Holster

Light Mahogany

Duke

Double Shuffle border with Vortex pattern loop

Oak Leaf Holster

Brown

Great Plains: a skirted, open-toed holster with a traditional ride. The pouch is a fairly amorphous style typical of early 20th century holsters. Cigar band loop.

This holster has been cut high on the cylinder at customer’s request. Initial on loop.

Oak Leaf Slim Jim

Black

Old California Slim Jim. This is the classic, contoured high-riding holster of the 1850’s. It has a deep, double trigger recurve and a lovely front recurve. It is cut very high over the cylinder and has a plugged toe.

Full Oak Leaf Carving with a Repeating 9’s border. While the holster style goes back to the late 1840’s, oak leaf carved patterns did not come into popular use until nearly 100 years later! While not period-correct due to this oak leaf motif, the classic lines of the slim jim work for all time periods.
