Ruger Old Army Holsters

I wanted a simple but rugged and inexpensive holster for hunting. One did not exist it seemed but I was told I could stretch a slim jim style meant for a NMA/1860, which I did and am well pleased. Put my ROA in a plastic bag and moistened up the leather. It’s a very snug fit, so much so I can turn it upside and shake it without it dropping. That takes a good bit of force to do. I believe it’s from Oklahoma Leather.

For cowboy action competition I like my Kirkpatrick Graveyard rig:



For carrying in the woods during deer season, I like one of the old Bianchi flap holsters:



These photos are screenshots off the internet, not my personal possessions. Mine are stored away and not readily available for photos.

I don’t know what brand this is since I bought it in 1986 when I bought the gun from bass pro, but it fits great.

I have a Bianchi flap holster intended for a Ruger Blackhawk that the Old Army fits in just fine.

I have a couple of Hunter holsters and another brand that fit both my Blackhawks and ROAs. There were inexpensive and work well.
