Just bought my first BP revolver, an Uberti 1858 Remington 8" blued.
I was pondering holsters and decided that a flapped holster would better protect the cylinder from the elements but all the flapped holsters that I find on-line seem to be reproductions of the Civil War cavalry model with the pistol held but forward on the draw hand side. This strikes me as very awkward.
So, can someone point me at a reasonably priced cross-draw or standard carry flapped holster, or, disabuse me of the idea that a flapped holster offers markedly better protection of the cylinder from, specifically, the wet.
Any other comments, insights, or thoughts on the 1858 for a first time BP revolver owner also welcome.
Thanks very much.
