I got a snap-strap Triple K holster from Cabela's for (I think) about $26. I am very happy with it. It looks like the one on the right in dickydalton's picture.

Period and historically correct reproduction I had custom made.
I have only heard good thigs about the triple K holster, high quality and low price. That might be where I end up. I havent made up my mind yet. BSA1's holster is super nice, but I'm probably going to stay below the custom zone of prices.

I have Triple K and Hunter brand holsters, bought via MidwayUSA and Cabelas, and both brands are good. Triple K's products have a darker finish than the Hunters. Their belts are good too, though limited in size for us "Bigger then the average bear" guys.
Triple K also makes good spare cylinder pouches. All items individually are under thirty FRNs.
I find the Hunter holster is generally a better fit, as the Triple K holsters are very tight. But leaving the gun inside it for awhile will help it form to fit.

Another source for relatively inexpensive holsters for cap&ball revolvers is Dixie Gun Works (www.dixiegunworks.com) in Union City, TN.
And if you visit their web site be sure to order a print catalog. Last I knew it still only costs $5.00, and has over 700 pages of products and information. It is the only thing I know of that's priced the same as it was shortly after World War Two.
Even if you don't buy anything (which is doubtful) the knowledge you find is priceless.

The belt pouch holds caps, balls and wads.

Dixie Gun Works sells this California Slim Jim holster for $39.95, in black or russet.

I don't remember for sure where I got the holster and belt but I think it was from either Navy Arms or Dixie Gun Works a number of years ago. The buckle I picked up from a local gun shop and was supposedly made by Bianchi.
