I just got this revolver and looking for a holster but wonder if the adj rear sight is an issue to be concerned about. Seems cabelas has 2 diff holsters for the 1858 Remington but not sure why or what the diffs are , any body help a guy out?
The diffrence is a left or right handed holster. Which ever one you buy make sure the barrel length is right for your revolver. Remintons Rule :hatsoff:
I made it to Cabelas today and found out the diff on the holsters. The Target has adj rear sight that catch on the top of the standard holster and the target one has a notch cut down so the sight doesn't .Plus it $2 more . Ive read that the cabelas holsters need to soaked and formed with the gun it for some time and I can believe it as it was very tight using mine. Cabelas has a bunch of nice guys but some of them know less than I do bout what they are selling. They had 2 diff standard 1858 8" holsters but not one for the target. The sales guy thought I was nuts as he couldnt find one for the target till I helped him using his store pc. The 2 they had in the store looked exactly the same and fit(or not fit) my revolver but had diff store/stock numbers and no one had a reason for it.
