Holster find

[Jackrabbit1957]

I carried my Walker in a cordura holster for years, now I use a leather one. Still have the old cordura one somewhere.

The original Walkers were issued in pairs, to be carried in holsters on the saddle. In those days (around the time of the Mexican War), "holster" pistols meant guns that were to be carried on the horse, while "belt" pistols were to be carried on the person. The distinction started to become blurred with the Colt Dragoon series.

My cap and ball pistols have a way of following me around. Yesterday, at work, there was a red squirrel that had on the previous day jumped out of the garbage dumpster and then off of a startled man's shoulder, when no one was looking my "62 Police removed that varmint. Carried in a Dell's flap holster.

Was deer hunting a few yrs back with my ROA, and a squirrel kept making racket and running in front of me, I did a point shot and damn if I didn't hit the bugger, couldn't do that again if I tried, did take him home and cook him up, least I could do for the fella...

The ROA is capable of great accuracy, my best shot was on a Jackrabbit at around 70 yards using a knurled .452 semi wadcutter.
