Holsters for 1851 Colt?

Were to buy?

Google Civil War holsters, western holsters, etc.. Check Dixie Gun Works. eBay is another. Lots of holsters of different styles, quality and prices out there.

Might want to have a look at Track of The Wolf or River Junction.

Do a search for eBay seller daveh72hs I have several of his fine holsters, he does excellent work, is willing to converse with you about exactly what you want in a holster...And, his prices are very reasonable.

Midway

+1 on daveh72hs. Authentic civilian holsters of quality at reasonable prices.

Old Timer 48 I'm sending you a PM (conversation).

I ordered a Slim Jim holster when I got mine, Trash of the Wolf has them for $30..

Trash of the Wolf? Mis-type? Either way, I love it!

Probably spell check...

For a quality, true to the era holster, I've found El Paso Saddlery to be a superior source.

Been over 20 years, but I really like my 1851 Colt holster made by Old West Reproductions. They are quite exact to original designs. Also use them for my SAA’s.

Check out Wiley Leather. I know from personal experience that Alan does excellent work at reasonable prices!

I have two 1851 navy’s, an 1858 NMA, an 1860 Army and an 1861 Navy. I got all of them holsters either right hand or right hand cross draws from track of the wolf. I don’t think I paid over thirty dollars for any of them. And they are very nice.

I've bought a few from Track of the Wolf and they do as I need them to.

I was going to recommend El Paso too but I have been waiting 18 weeks and counting for Belt from them. It was supposed to be a Birthday gift in November, when I called and asked if it might make it by Christmas their only response was "Maybe"....Christmas come and gone - maybe New Year??

I have custom Western Rig they made me a few years ago for an unmentionable, I took a long time too but is top notch and well made....but don't count on their estimated turn around times ("11 to 12 weeks on custom orders").

Don't know why my first order with them took so long, pretty sure now its because of COVID and supply chain issues....

For belts I like Hanks

Jarnagin if you with a historically correct holster and belt.

Depends on flavor and flair, I got two Triple K around trigger guard strap from Midway round $35 for the pair (one was on sale). Now for $40ish and up I could get 1 of the fancy ones Just depends on what one desires or likes. Redirect NoticeaACKAB6BAgDEDk&adurl=9aACKAB6BAgDEDk&adurl=

The Triple K strap one is what I bought for my 1851, simply because I had no funds - the gun was a gift. It works just fine.
