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.

Shoot Holster

Dark Mahogany

Modified Meanea Halfbreed. This holster is strongly based on the Meanea rig. However, it has been modified with not only the cigar band style of loops, but has been cut down quite dramatically at the cylinder and trigger exposing more of the pistol.

1890 Main & Winchester carving with bugle border. This carving design is an accurate adaptation of a pattern discovered on a Main & Winchester saddle. It is typical of the finest California-style carving at the turn of the century.

Mrs. Slickshot

Burgundy

Duke

Beehive border

Holster was canted 25 degrees muzzle forward. It was also dropped so that ½ of grip frame hangs below the top of the belt.

Spotted Target

Brown

Great Plains. This is a skirted holster with open toe. The pouch features the more amorphous lines common to the turn of the century.

Spotted Target border

Large Loop with 3-Dimensional star border. Spots are solid brass.

Stamped Flapped Derringer Holsters

Varied

Flapped Derringer Holster. This is our most popular derringer holster providing positive retention as well as good access to and protection for the weapon. The belt loops on ours come standard to fit a 3” wide belt. We will happily tailor belt loops for narrower gun belts or standard pants waistbelts.

We can match these up to any of our gun rigs and holsters so have a look at those & then tell us what you want! It’s also no problem to match up your existing patterns.

Stardust Holster

Weathered Black

Ziggy: This holster is yet another variation on the theme of the Duke holster. This one is cut extremely low on the cylinder with a fully-exposed trigger. It has a square-cut, open toe and sports a cigar band loop.

Double tassel on holster loop. Holster is dropped so that more than half of the grip frame is below the top of the belt. Spots and leather have been distressed and weathered to match the belt.

Suspender Holster

Black

Suspender Holster. As towns sprang up & laws were decreed prohibiting the carrying of weapons within city limits, all kinds of concealed carry holsters began to be developed. This one is based on one manufactured by Heiser. It can be worn in a strong hand or crossdraw position and is hung inside the waistband from the suspender buttons. Enough room remains on the buttons to still allow suspenders to be worn. It is a comfortable and convenient way to carry a pocket pistol or derringer while wearing cowboy duds.

Texas Halfbreed

Burgundy

Old Tyme Halfbreed. This holster is cut high on the cylinder with a moderate trigger recurve. The pouch is contoured also reflecting an older style. The toe is open but can be had plugged if desired. The loop is a medium-sized cigar band style.

Old El Paso carving with Chill Wills border

Holster is canted 25 degrees muzzle forward. “Texas Ranger” star concho on loop.

Texas Jock Strap I

Golden Oak

Old Tyme Texas Jock Strap: This skirted holster has an older-style trigger recurve and is cut high on the cylinder. The toe is stitched through & the loop is cut in a “T” configuration.

Jeff Miller border

White goat rawhide whiplacing around edges of pouch and skirt. Silver plated concho on loop.

Texas Jock Strap II

Golden Oak

Old Tyme Texas Jock strap. This skirted holster has an older-style trigger recurve and is cut high on the cylinder. The toe is stitched through & the loop is cut in a “T” configuration.

Chain & 4-Point Star border

Dark brown kangaroo whiplacing around edges of pouch and skirt, nickel Southwest-style concho

Thunder Jack

Black

Duke with Exposed Trigger. This is yet another variant on the Duke Halfbreed holster. It has a nice cut and flair at the cylinder and the trigger guard is fully exposed. It has been raked forward about 12 degrees and was dropped so that the top of the grip frame is level with the top of the belt.
