Some of my favorite cap & ball holsters

[duelist1954]

In this video I'll describe my favorite holsters for cap & ball revolvers. I'll show the holsters I use for Colt Walker and Dragoon replicas, as well as the leather for 1851 Navy revolver, 1860 Army revolvers and Remington New Model Army revolvers. I'll even throw in a military style full-flap holster for a Starr. You'll see that I have some favorite leather workers, Especially David Carrico of Carrico's Leather Works, Marty Overstreet of Circle Bar-T Leather works and the crew at El Paso Saddlery.

While we are on the subject of holsters, This may sound like a dumb question,when ordering a cross-draw holster it always hangs me up when I get to the part of the order form that asks right or left :hmm: I assume if you order a "cross-draw" version and were right handed it would be on your left side so you would specify right hand correct? You would be surprised how many times I have asked this and don't get a straight answer! Just purchased an 1851 Colt Navy steel frame in .44 with 4 7/8" barrel from Taylor's and it is screaming for a cross-draw!

That's what I'd do.

What is a good fit for a Ruger Old Army 7.5" adjustable sight revolver? Looking for a good filed holster and I have always been fond on the old Hunter holster with the safety strap. Will the holster for the regular Blackhawk work for an Old Army? Thanks.

Nice leatherwork there, Chief, but the gloves look a little "sissy boy" to me! :grin:

It fits mine just fine. I use the same model holster for my ROA and 7 1/2" Blackhawk.
