I made this shoulder holster for a friend of mine, and thought I’d show it off. It’s my interpretation of Doc Holiday’s shoulder holster from the movie Tombstone, (with a few tweaks with my own creative license.) This is first time I’ve made a holster for someone else. It kind of hurt to give it up, lol. I found auction photos of the actual holster to use as my reference, along with screen shots from the movie. My friend picked up the holster over the weekend. He was thrilled, which was a good feeling. Thought y'all might like seeing it.

Very nice, sir, very nice indeed. A good buddy of mine suggested I pick up one like that for my Uberti Bird's Head. Beautiful work, sir.

Nice work, I mean that is sweet!
thank you very much. I told my friend if he buys a cowboy gun, I'd make him a holster. He finally bought one, and we brainstormed holster ideas. When I mentioned making a copy of Doc Holidays shoulder holster, that ended the debate, and that was immediately the decision. It took me about two months of evening and weekends to research it, find reference photos, work out the design and fitment, and make the final holster. I think it was worth it.

Very nice work!
Very nice work!
if you look as Josey Wales, his belt rides really righ, well above his hip bones. That's so the weight of the belt falls on his hip bones. If you wanted it lowed, you'd definitely need suspenders, or those walkers would be pulling your pants down all day.

It`s criminal IMO that he didn`t win an academy award for that performance. He had the best lines and delivered them flawlessly.
Sorry, I don't. This isn't my job. I have a full time job, and not enough hours in the day to get done everything I want and need to do. I couldn't possibly take on commission work. Maybe one day, when I retire, but that's no time soon.

I`ve always thought that if I wanted to carry a back up hand gun into the back country that this would be a good way to carry one. Relatively out of the way yet quickly available if needed.
I agree. He owned that character.
