WANTED Slung holster for Pedersoli sxs howdah pistol

[pamtnman]

I just purchased a Pedersoli sxs 20 gauge howdah pistol, and I would like to get a holster for it. The kind of holster that is hung or slung from a belt over the shoulder. Any leads or actual products are much appreciated.

Look at holsters for a TC Contender. Some of those might fit.

Looks like there are a number of custom makers who provide variations on the shoulder-slung theme. I am going to have to buy-and-try my way through this

I've got the flint version and am in the process of designing and making a slung holster. The gun is too heavy to wear on the hip with the triple K holster. My pants kept falling down in the woods. I know exactly what your looking for. I'll keep ya'll posted.

It won't fit.

One way would be to get a blank sword baldric and have a simple wrap-around piece of leather that fits the pistol sewn on to the baldric.

Here is a holster I had made for two Balkan pistols. Of course, this was a custom and would be a more expensive route.

The shoulder/baldric style is a good way to carry a heavy single or pair of pistols. That way, the whole upper torso of the body is use to support the pistol(s).

That would seem the logical choice in this case. Cool rig.

agree! i hope it is as well made as it looks to be. i really cannot imagine hoisting one of these heavy guns around any other way

If you do purchase the rig please post photos of it with your pistol. Would be cool to see.

Good point, and I will do so, thanks for encouraging me, because I don't know if I would have thought to do it. I probably would have stuffed the pistol in and if it fits, great, and if not, whatever. I did order this rig two days ago and mailed the check out this morning, so it will be a couple weeks. I will post it here
