    One nice thing I discovered: the loops for .45 cartridges are actually the right size for holding Nerf blaster darts.

    Great vid. I loved the humour. I'm currently writing a western screenplay & aiming to shoot a short teaser for the project this summer so I've been researching what was really used back then, as opposed to what was used in Hollywood westerns. I've been ploughing through hundreds of old pictures & out of all of them I've seen 2 drop leg type holsters, one of which I think was only worn that way so the gun was nicely presented to the camera. Almost everyone has their gun up high on their hip or slung over their belly. One thing that really surprised me was how many people had a full flap cavalry type holster, the complete opposite of the "quick draw gunslinger" mythos. You'd be surprised how hard it is to get hold of reasonably authentic kit here in England! Without paying a fortune for it anyway...

    I'm sure you've already made your teaser, but I would recommend a Webley holster like Indiana Jones for a flap holster, looks the part and should be easy enough to find. Flap holsters are alot more practical than the quick-draw kind, especially for percussion guns that were best kept out of the weather

    Reenactments are a better word for Civil War folks who actually re-enact events that took place. Some Old West people do reenactments of historical events, but mainly we do representations of what could have happened. For instance, in Tombstone, AZ, there are many groups who have recreated the OK Corral shootout. Our group does a reenactment of the Tunnel Saloon gunfight, but mainly make up skits that fit the venue we are going to. In your area, check the web or talk to some folks at a history museum and see who does it.

    First I want to say Happy Birthday to Bill. Thanks Santee for another great and informative video. My gun belt is normally the one that I wear for my War Against Northern Aggression reenactments. Usually has an oval NC belt buckle or a English import rectangle CSA buckle. I usually carry 2 pistols in either cross draw or reverse draw configuration. I prefer reverse draw out of holster the most or pull pistols with but forward and do road agent spin to bring barrels in to alignment.

    You will note that the period pictures show Mexican Loop holsters, but they don't hang low on a belt extension with leather tie-down thongs mid thigh like in the Western movies. The fact is low hanging pistol holsters and belts were no invented until the early 20th century. Their use in Westerns is just as bogus as showing solders coming home from the Civil War in the late 1860's with 1873 Colt Single Actions and 1892 Winchesters with lope levers, (ala John Wayne).

    I've looked through hundreds of old pics of lawmen & outlaws recently for research. Out of all of them only 2 had anything remotely like the drop leg holsters you described. There's a reason for that. These people knew what they were doing & the vast majority of them wore their guns high. I won't say absolutely nobody had a drop leg set up back then but they were obviously extremely uncommon, because they're completely impractical. Anybody who's worn one & tried to do anything other than trudge around slowly knows this.

    I've been tying to find a gun belt without the holster believe it or not so I can add on my own. Mostly to match up with what you said Santee. "Not everything matched in the old west. Function to over fashion." And that exactly the look I wanted to go for. Mostly for a cowboy, or outlaw look, kinda like they just grabbed whatever gun belt and holster off of some poor dead sap for the outlaw and threw it together, or like maybe they didn't have enough money to buy a holster so they got a gun belt, and a old friend gave them a holster that didn't match for the cowboy.
