Calvary holster pattern?

[user 52391]

Me...I'd buy one of these cheap $16 holsters from DGW, pull it apart and go from there.

Sounds like a plan.

Does anyone know where I can get the pattern for a Calvary style holster for my Pietta 1858 revolver. I have the leather, some nice 7-8oz veg tan, and I have the time, just lacking the pattern. Any idea where I can get one.

Tandy used to sell a large book of patterns for leather work. I know holsters were in it. I'd see if someone online has one.

The Tandy store near me has a huge pack of holster patterns. Can't buy just one though.

Does anyone happen to have a flap holster pattern for the 5 1/2" 1862 Police revolver, right side, butt forward?

It's not that difficult to draw up your own patterns. I've drawn up patterns from a picture in a book or magazine. Once you know how a holster is supposed to fit, most the rest is stylistic.

See if this from Tandy Leather helps. It’s from their free on-line Leather Library.

Tandy leather used to have holster patterns a very long time ago.

I've seen them (Tandy) at Hobby Lobby, which, by the way, sells decorative items that are replicas of guns; revolvers, lever actions, etc. Not real perfect copies, but neat for a kid's room or a family den; how many stores carry that sort of stuff anymore? H-L is closed Sundays, which tells you where they're coming from. BTW, at my local one, the "Clearance" section had two, rolls of genuine cowhide with the hair on, each 8-10 SF. Retail price 70 bucks! I got them for 20 bucks each, to keep for possible craft projects although I admit I don't do a lot of leather work. Tandy's holster kits are more for modern-type pistols, don't know is suitable for percussions, but good luck!

My apologies to you sir, I will use the correct spelling from now on.

Here in eastern UK we suffer endlessly from TV reporters talking about the 'Royal Anglican Regiment' rather than the 'Royal Anglian Regiment'.

You can buy the holster at Track of The Wolf, already made.

Thanks!

Take some poster paper and fold it around your pistol to get a rough fit then trim to your satisfaction, no wasted leather, and you can re-use pattern later or modify it if you want.

Just pickin' nits, being an old cavalry trooper, Calvary vs cavalry grates like fingernails on a blackboard.
My Googlefu is pretty weak but I didn't find any.

The problem is that spell check will accept either. Just remember to check spelling before posting.

I think the OP means "Cavalry". "Calvary" is where Jesus was crucified.
