Ike shows off some fast draw holsters on the Haunted Join our "Live" old west video webcast every Tuesday night from the Haunted Saloon. 10PM eastern 7PM pacific at http://www.HauntedSaloon.com (more)
@blankthree It is a "real fast" draw holster probably designed by Bob Munden or Joe Bowman....just in case you fired before getting the gun out. Those two men (and I have seen Joe Bowman do it) could draw and fire three shots so fast it sounded like one shot.... Yes I was there when three were loaded on the left side, and checked the primers before and after the shots. I have had a Single Action Colt ever since I was 21 and knew what to look for. Today I am 80.
Nobody, but nobody, could wear a low slung holster better than Jock Mahoney, comin' or goin' !!!! He was a big man with a "V" shape in "Money, Women, and Guns"...He was my mom's favorite star...(except for the voice of Wild Bill Elliott).
im trying to put together a modernized type of rig for a saa, im thinking a gi pistol belt and either a folding ammo pouch or ammo sliders but im not sure ,anybody got any ideas?
I'm at a double disadvantage- I use standard hirider style (even though i made them to fit my guns) and shoot either a pair of .44cal. 1851navy sheriffs 5 1/2" or 1849pockets or any combo of the four. I am quick, but I could never be as quick as the modern style shooters. Still, I like the realism of my rigs for post civil war era and am happy enough with my quickness and accuracy :)
Yes, or a "slim jim" model, named "california pattern" too. you can get just one loop in your holster...The "Buscadero" is a model invented by hollywood in the 30' just for the style in the movies ... But try to ride a horse whith it ... And never forget, often the cowboys had no money to have to pay a holster, often, they were just put the gun in the belt ...
