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 BrimstoneBlack 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. HollywoodBlack 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 HolsterLight 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’ HolsterBurgundy 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. Oak Leaf Slim JimBlack 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. |
