I have slim jims that fit like that, as they were designed, (good holsters for horseback) and more modern but still western, Threepersons from a few makers. Also good on horseback or in a vehicle with barrels under 5”… mine have straps or thong and one has a thong with a firing pin hole intended to be holstered and then lower the hammer and firing pin into the thong. All six can be loaded this way and it’s the fastest way to draw and fire an SAA.All of mine that have any form of retention is a thong over the spur. It's the least intrusive. I will say that holsters in the old west didn't need anything to keep the gun from falling out. The holster was a tight fit so it was it's own retention.
I’m sure there were times when a fella was in a hurry to get a pistol up and running. Doubt it ever happened like the movies. Common sense says that if you know someone is coming for you with malicious intent you’ll get that gun in your hand or better yet, grab a repeating rifle.wonder if non historic recorded quick draw fights really happened
I mean, they did had duels in the Victorian days.
That rifle is uglier than a mud fence but it’s your mud fence… I’ve seen those setups here and there. Not my cup of tea but you’re right, for a person who grew up with high grade walnut, vivid color case hardening, and blued steel it’s just wrong! ;-)you are 100% right, it’s actually one of my favorite rifles. I’ll put it back to original.
I’ll just pick a Ruger Marlin 336, and have fun with that
Wait a minute! WTH?
