I like to try and stay early in my leather gear.

I like the Wolfs Ears post Civil War half flap holsters and web/Mills style belts. My favorite belt is a web forager with sg and rifle loops. Very comfortable.

It depends on the gun, and what mood I'm in. I never studied on holsters, so everything is interpretive. I do tend to use Al Stohlman's work as a base model for some. I find it is more fun to go on my own path, rather than trying to reproduce somebody else's.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Thanks to Marshal Halloway for finding this. Since my post is the first, I must have started it at one time but sure don't remember doing it. You must have had to dust it off a lot.

At any rate, my rig(s) fall in around the period after the Civil War with cartridge conversions, 1870-1879.

I'm kinda all about the place ....be twix 1870 - 1898

Mostly 1870-79 ... but I have leather for my SAA circa SpanAm w/ web belt
Punitive War leather for my 1911
and WW1 (original) for my recent aquired 1917 Luger.


I do not own nor desire the first busquardo drop holster , or any Tom Threepersons style's

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Photos of your rigs would be great if you have any.

[Capt Quirk]

I could either blow up the place with pictures, or let you see the stuff already on my website. www.smokewagonleather.us .

My favorite sort of splits two categories. I prefer 1890ish but range all the way from mid 70's to turn of the century. I also make some that fit into early 20th century but stay away from the hollywood stuff.

I'm with CQ.  Way to many items to show here.  Better off with my web site.

I can't help it, I like most everything.  However, my favorite time periods are the California Gold Rush era and the 1875-1885 period.

[Capt Quirk]

Nice site Buck, nice work

[Buck Stinson]

Thanks CQ.  Looks like you have some nice items, also.

[Capt Quirk]

Thank you Sir, I'm just faking it. Really. Someday I will figure it out, hopefully before my eyes and fingers give out completely 

[Buck Stinson]

I started this business in 1978.  Hard to believe I've been doing this full time for the past 41 years.  I still love it, even though my fingers are sore and my eye sight has gone down hill, so I know what you mean.

I do Zoot Shooting, which is Prohibition Era, so my stuff would be considered Modern I guess.

Are there any pics of your rig you could post?

[Major 2]

I use an analogy to describe my leather holsters


" I can fabricate a pretty good sandwich from scratch, but sometimes just want to go to a great SUB shop !

so that said....

Here are some examples: 

my version of a Belly Gun holster....
and 2nd a one off commissioned holster from a very talented fellow.

Then there is my version of western 1911 rig

and second a pair of another very talented and great friend.

All are quite tasty IMHO

I like the 1/4 flap with the leaf motifs.

And the pistol in it.

[Mogorilla]

mine are all slimjims circa 1860s, but am currently making a cross-draw slimjim (so sort of 1860s).   Making for a friend who also shoots 1860 Colt.  He wanted a matching set and it is in progress, need to measure him for the belt, and then finish a belt pouch as well.   The design are adapted versions of a Main and Winchester.   They dye is my chestnut brew.     Trading the holster set for bag of leather and a Hoppes double barrel pistol from the 70s.   It was in pieces and needed work but all good now.
