M-1885 holster

Capt.Virgil Russo · February 16, 2012, 05:48:58 PM

Anyone have a source for an M-1885 holster in Russet Brown? David Carrico is the only source I've found, unfortunately he's encountered some health problems and can't be certain when he'll be up to working again.

Thanks.

Get ahold of Jim Barnard aka Trailrider of Trailrider products. He is a member of this forum and GAF and builds extremely excellent and authentic frontier military leather.

Will do.

That original is a nice one and I'd say worth the money, but too nice to use much.

It's a great find but not for me.

Give them a call on the phone, he'll make one if you don't see what you want here.

Buck and Leta of Coon Creek will be away at Winter Range for about a week.

Capt.Virgil Russo · February 18, 2012, 08:27:06 AM

Email sent to Coon Creek, will follow-up with a phone call when they return from Winter Range.

Thanks all.

Doug, it arrived today and I can't thank you enough!

Wet molding right now, fits like a glove.

You Sir, are a craftsman

When can we expect to see some your alleged gear? You sure talk a good game, unfortunately it's all bullspit.

Go back under your bridge, troll boy.

I made four in the process of making the Captain's. Two rights and two lefts. He has a right. Anyone want any of the others? One of the lefts is for the 5 1/2" barrel.

I am sure they can be died black.

Hmmm ...

I wish I'd seen this post before we talked an hour ago, Doug.
