I have owned a few Heritage Rough Rider pistols for a couple of years and always thought that it would be very cool to have a belt and holster set. But not just any belt and holster set. I wanted something that looked like a "High Falootin" Gunslinger from the Old West would wear. Not a cheap imitation. Not a vinyl belt and holster. Not a plain, black Law Enforcement belt and holster. But something that had a big "WOW" factor. I stumbled upon Historical Emporium and was amazed at the look of the many holsters, belts, combinations, even the outfits were amazing looking. I chose the double holster for the Heritage .22 pistols. The description does not do justice to the quality craftsmanship of the belt and holsters. When I unboxed it I was, first overwhelmed by the fantastic aroma of leather. Not Pleather, not vinyl. But Real Leather. Thick, strong, decade-lasting Leather. The stitching is perfect. The detail and the coloring is phenomenal. I ordered my size based on the sizing chart and it was Spot-On. Somewhere in the description or details about guns that fit I read that the Heritage Rough Rider may not sit well in the holsters, and that the 71/2" Barrel Rough Rider would not work well. I must disagree. The holsters have a remarkable adjustment for snug fitting. Just squeeze the holster and the hidden (Magic) band holds the holster's shape and the pistol is held perfectly in place. As for the 7 1/2" Barrel Rough Rider not working well, I can attest to the fact that it works just fine with these holsters. I have a couple of videos on YouTube (Jeff Shoemake, Team WayPastFast) of "QuickDraw" actions with my Pistols. After a bit of practice I was able to quickly draw and fire the 6 1/2" and 7 1/2" barrel pistols from these holsters. I could ramble on for another hour about how much I love my Historical Emporium Belt and Holster. If you are looking for the Real-Deal Belt and Holster, look no further. As Christmas presents, I am buying two more of these for my friends who own Heritage Pistols and have been drooling over my belt and holster rig. I also plan to get the "Cross-Draw" holster for my belt so I can carry three pistols on this belt.

vest is excellent, fits well and is on par with most of the others across the world that I checked out before my purchase from Historical Emporium. It could be worn in the U.S. West, on horseback or in a saloon, even in the halls of Parliament, it's that good. Now have to find a suit that complements the vest!

I was in the market from some unique leather holsters for a surprise gift for my wife. I didn't want to get just a run of the mill plane jane holster for the .22 pea shooter I bought her. I stumbled upon this website & luckily she could fit the smallest men's western belt. Bought a belt for myself too. We got similar handguns and similar belts. Sort of adds a classy western motif to the house
You know it is real leather when you open up the box and can smell it. Nice quality leather
I haven't got around to trying the holster in the gun yet, was hoping to clean and fire them this weekend and test the holster out as well.
Only thing I wish they offered was free shipping. If you spent over $300 the shipping should be at least free right?

This was a short notice order from Michigan. They took my order on Monday and got it in the mail Monday evening. I got it on Thursday and was able to have the tailor shorten the pants by Saturday. All in time for the party on Sunday. I won first prize for my western outfit.
Thanks a million for the quick turn-around on my order.
