I was really impressed by the quality of this holster, not just for the price point, but in general. The description is spot on, this is a real full grain leather holster with beautiful tooling and great attention to detail. The only gripe I have is that there are only 11 bullet loops on the belt I received. Now, I don't know if this is because I'm a skinny guy (30 inch waist) and ordered the smallest size, or because they only come with 11 loops. Your mileage may vary.

Beautiful holster

What a find. I am showing it off every chance i get. Everything i could have wanted for my 45 long colt. Thank you again for excellent service and an excellent product. It was here like in two, yes two days. I could not be happier and the wife loves it. thank you

Quality is exceptional.

The holster is very well made and finished. I looked at numerous others on line and kept coming back to this one. Glad I did. The sizing chart is spot on.

Holster is very well made and is exactly what I was looking for.

Great quality belt/holster. Very fast delivery and excellent customer service

Great Quality Holster. Quality leather, stitching, coloring.

The belt and holster are very well made. Stylish and high quality. Fit is perfect by following the website instructions. Looks terrific with an Uberti Cattleman too. Love it

The holster was nice. It did not fit my revolver but it seemed to be constructed well. Even though their compatibility mentioned that it would handle the Blackhawk 357, it did not mention that it only handled the Blackhawk old model.

I was slightly concerned about getting the correct belt size, but that was not an issue. I measured myself as shown on the webpage, and it fits just right.

The holster came exactly as illustrated on the website. I followed the sizing chart information and the fit was perfect. I wear a size 32" pant and the sizing instructions suggested a size 38". I was a bit sceptical but it fits great and rides like it should. For once I followed the directions and I'm glad I did. I have shown the holster to others at my club and they were all impressed with the overall quality. The color and thickness of the leather were both good. I would not hesitate to buy one again. Mark

I bought this for my husband's birthday and he loved it.

I think The Emporium needs to have more fitting advice for things like this holster. I had a very hard time feeling out the what is the right fit where the weight of the pistol does not drag down the entire holster or the holster being too tight. Other wise the craftsmanship on these leather goods is very good. That being said I will have to order another in the perfect size for everyday ware. I highly recommend these holsters.

This holster exceeded our expectations. It is very well made and looks better than the pictures. My wife wears it everywhere now

Only because we ordered the wrong size, we did we have to send back. The Western Gun Belt and Holster is awesome. So just be sure you order the right size.

Fantastic fit by simply following the instructions on your site. Quality was very nice and best price I could find!

This is a beautiful gunbelt. Well made, crafted and tooled. Love the leather smell, genuine leather. Be careful measuring your waist size. I'd recommend going with your pants size and adding up to 4 to that size instead of measuring. My pant's size is 38, I got a 42 it's perfect. I highly recommend this gunbelt. It is gorgeous. I will buy more items from Historical Emporium!!!

I ordered this for my Ruger New Blackhawk .44. Not only does it look great the fitment is perfect! I will order from these fantastic people again!

Amazing quality great service

Would not buy it again. The holster I had to hand mold to my gun, does not fit your gun even after you try to mold it to it. Very disapointed . Thought I was getting fast draw quality.

excellent product finee workmanship

Fit well and I was very impressed, putting my next order together

It just what I wanted

The belt was as described! and even better seeing it in my hands. My 1873 cattleman fit perfectly in the holster.

I called in and asked about the sizing and got help from a lady who know her stuff and got me remeasuring and i placed the order with her. I got my order in two days! And it is everything i expected and it fit me perfectly. I am 1000% happy with the service, support and their product! Thank You!

This a very well made Rig/Holster made of a tough leather which 'Creeks' when worn. It fits perfectly and is very comfortable and was well worth the wait. It has 11 shell loops which complement this item and also the tooled leather finish adds to it's authentic look. I highly recommend this Rig/Holster to anyone looking for quality in this type of product. Well done for Historical Emporium for providing these wide range of choices.

I had the chance to look at two different items of the Black Tooled Holster due to my miscalculation on my measurement. I wear a 36" belt on pants and initially ordered the 40" item. A little large. Sent it back for an exchange for the 38" item. This fits perfectly and the tooling and quality on both holsters was excellent. Customer service was exceptional in the exchange process. Received both holsters quickly after shipment. Couldn't be happier.

Very nice looking rig.

I found the exact same thing on line at half the price. With free shipping. Wow. Check out all the options before you buy. Shop around.

I purchased this holster for my Dad for his birthday, and he loves it! All the leather is tooled, including the holster, and it fits Dad's bone handled 44 Mag like a glove. Looks and functions great!

To say I was impressed is an understatement. The tool work on this piece is second to none. If you are in the market for a beautifuly made, historically accurate and heavy duty piece.. Look no further. Quick shipping and securely packaged. Will 1000% buy from them again. If they get into the pre 1840 rendezvous gear, I'm really gonna be in trouble!! Thanks for being great at what you do!!!

Exceptional Quality.

This is a really nice gun belt for the money. Think they are made in Mexico but you can get a lot of nice leather products in Mexico if you've ever been down there. Not sure if it's hand-tooled or not but the tooling is beautiful. Leather is thick and it has heavy duty stitching so I have no doubt that it will hold up for years to come. Everything is pretty stiff so I've been applying leather conditioner to mine to get it softened up. I ended up also buying their cross draw holster in the same color and it matched perfectly. Wanted to get geared up to start going to S.A.S.S. matches and this rig should work just fine. Everyone that sees it comments on how nice it is and can't believe how affordable it was. I am a 34 waist so I opted to get the 40" belt and it worked out pretty well. It's in the middle hole for me and it sits cocked down at an angle just below my regular belt. Inside of the holster is rigid and slightly bigger than my Uberti 1873 Cattleman II so the draw is quick but it certainly won't fall out plus it has a retention strap that goes around the hammer of the gun that is adjustable. Not much more to say...if you're looking for a gun belt you certainly can't go wrong with this one. Just watch your sizing. Gonna want to go up at least 2 sizes if not 3.

I am very pleased with the Gun Belt and Holster..I did Order the .38 / .357 but it does not fit me Ruger .357..GP 100. The Trigger guard needs a cut-out for it to slide in all the way.

Made really well with a nice pattern, my Taylor's and company 357 fit awesome and the bullets fit perfect in the belt. Only issue but not a big deal is Im a 32 waist and got a 34 but probably would have got a 36 if I had it to do over, just a little snug.

Product was as described. I wear a size 33 pants and ordered a size 38 like the instructions said. Fit perfect. Beautiful leather work and i love the smell of the fresh leather. Fits 45 long colt like a glove. I paid twice as much for one that doesn't compare to this one. Will order from again soon.

Absolutly happy with this purchase!! Item was exactly as described, in fact even better imop. Used the size chart they recomend and fit perfect!! Had a small issue with the leg tie strap, customer service was on it and sent me two!! Will recomend to others and purchase from again. Very Happy Customer!!!

I WOULD ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYBODY INTERESTED IN FINDING AND OWNING THIS TYPE OF PRODUCT..REALLY NICELY MADE FOR THE MONEY..FIT TOO! WELL DONE!...GOING TO ORDER ANOTHER FOR MYSELF SOON FOR MY 357 MAGNUM..

I am glad I went with the Two tone Brown. The tooling and reliefs are done with love and care. Too bad cartridges are unavailable or I would tell how they fit although judging from experience I think they'll fit nice and snug. It is a work of art and a utility all in one my compliments to the crafter of my gun belt and thank you.

I absolutely love the look and feel of this holster. Although it's my first drop leg holster it won't be my last. The quality and craftsmanship is well worth the price. The timely delivery was amazing. I look forward to using it

Very well made gun belt and beautiful tooling job, only had a little issues with sizing but all i did was emailed them and let them know and they sent me a new size when they got the old one back. Wonderful customer service and very easy to exchange 10/10 would definitely buy from them again.

Fits like a dream (once I got the measurements right) holds my Ruger Blackhawk like a glove. Make sure you measure the way they show you... if you are in a hurry, you will be returning it. But the customer service goes above and beyond to make you happy!.

This holster set-up is the finest workmanship East of the Pecos. Don't be fooled by those half priced imitations. Those are sewn in the back so they save on leather. This belt is one piece, end to end. Those holsters (and probably the belt also) are only finished on one side. So the exposed face at the gun grip is not the same as the belt. The tooling is exquisite, I didn't see a flaw anywhere. And the two tone staining gives it the old time original look.

I just received the two-tone leather version. This is my first western rig and I only have experience with modern holsters. But I am satisfied with the price-to-quality value of this rig. It looks great and the materials don't seem cheap. The fit could be better, I see why people spend the extra money for a more custom rig. I bought this for entry-level cowboy shooting and it will be great for that. This holster fits my Ruger 5.5 inch Vaquero fine, and I paired it with a cross draw holster from another company for my 3.75 inch Vaquero. I wear size 36 jeans and the size 40 rig works fine for me. The narrowest points on the best are 2.75 inches, so shop for accessories that fit greater than 2.5 inch belts.

Beautiful holster and belt, obviously real and thick leather. Shells fit right in the loops and my Cimarron pistolero (colt peacemaker clone) was a perfect fit that Required no additional stretching or anything. My one complaint is my own fault, and that’s the sizing. I wear a 40 pant and using their measurements I should’ve gotten a 50 inch belt. Instead I got a 52 and it’s a bit too large even tightened all the way. I hate dealing with shippings and returns so I decided I’ll just have it adjusted later. Bought on a Sunday night received it a day early on that Wednesday.

This holster was the best I have found. Hand tooling was perfect not just pressed like others. Great workmanship through out. Should last years down the road.

Looks great and works well. Make sure measurements are done as specified. the belts run tight

Beautiful leather work and tooling, fits well

This is a really nice tooled leather gunbelt, well made, heavy duty and quite beautiful. Smith and Wesson model 586 with 6” barrel fits nicely. I have 33” waist for pants, I ordered size 40, it’s fine but I could have gone 38”. There is a fairly good amount of adjustability with all the belt holes at the buckle so it’s fine. But my advice would be, if you are 32 or 33 waist, get size 38 and it will be right in the middle of adjustment. This is a very good product at any price, but for the low price they charge it is incredible! Leather goods made in Mexico are very traditional old west.

Love the color, rounds fit nicely, feels great, except for the holster is a bit small for the full size gun, my 22 caliber fit well but the.357 is rather snug, not easy for quick draw or holstered the gun, can this be fix?

I am sooo very proud of my new gun holster and belt!! I am a woman, living in the country, with rattle snakes, coyotes, bob cats, and even a mountain lion, for real, in our front yard. I love the outdoors, work outside and love landscaping work. Because of where we live, the wild life I have met face to face, I need a gun and holster. The holster is magnificent, fits superb at my hips, and allows me to work outside comfortably with it's comfortable fit and tie down for the leg holster, plus extra shells when I need them. Thank you for a beautiful product, very good quality, that I will wear every time I go outside, even over my old west dresses as well as work clothes. I am thrilled with my new rig!!

very nice and fit is fine. i had to change the buckle brad to a snap so i could change buckles i did expect a bit more red but some good polish will take care of that ..

I am extremely pleased with the holster. The craftsmanship is exceptional. It is simply beautiful. My New Vaquero 5 1/2 inch barrel fits into it perfectly without modification. The directions for measuring the size were absolutely correct. I am a happy camper and will certainly continue as a satisfied customer. I am comfortable recommending this holster. You will not be disappointed.

This is a great product and a great value. I'll be shopping here again.

What a beautiful rig. My Uberti 1873 Cattleman just slid into the holster like I had been forming it for a month. Workmanship and quality for the price is excellent. I ordered my rig on Wednesday at midday and it was at my house on Virginia Beach VA by Friday evening. My only gripe is my fault in the measuring other than that couldn't be more pleased

I do a lot of research when I go to spend more than $100, and I looked online for about 2 months before I chose to go with this holster. I always kept coming back to this one. I had just recently bought a Ruger Ner Vaquero .357 magnum which fit the holder well! It was delivered quickly and was just as advertised. There are "better" holsters out there, but this is the best for the money that I found. I'm not a cowboy and this is not an everyday wear for me, but I will enjoy it when I do. I'm completely happy with it and would definitely a purchase it again.

The quality, the Leather work, everything about the Holster is Awesome. And you can't beat the Price. Very Pleased with this Purchase !!!!

Found one just like it elsewhere. disappointed in Ya'll. Thanks, but no thanks.

Didn't expect much for the price. Was surprised to see the quality of a set much more expensive. Good product and great price.

Great quality cowboy belt and holster. Product is as described. Fantastic customer service for quickly responding back to my inquiry.

Item was just as described.Came quickly but belt size was too big, returned item.

Costume Party with western agenda

Received on time.High quality, stitcibg and components great quality.Estamated fit with heavy clothes and worked out perfect Working outfit.

the quality is spot on, just what I was looking for to start in cowboy action shooting. I have it hanging in a closed room, when I walk in I get hit by the strong smell of leather, a good thing

The 1800's, way out west - a simpler time. The cattle graze, the crops grow, the seasons change. It's truly a simpler time still in the west in the early part of the 1800's. Yes, it is simpler in many ways, however, in the late 1840's the rapidity with which the east is growing has come to the west. Gold was found on the South Fork of the American River at Sutter's Mill in 1848. The rush west begins in earnest. Towns grow from hundreds to thousands of citizens almost overnight. In the late 1850's a second wave of citizens head west following another find, although it's not all about gold this time. A rich vein of silver has also been discovered, the largest find to date - the Comstock Lode. By the early to mid late 1870's, things have slowed considerably. The landscape has changed forever, the western states are now highly populated by those who have followed the dreams of riches or have found themselves displaced by the war of 1861-1865. Many will settle down as law abiding citizens, some will become outlaws, others lawmen, but all will carry a gun. Have you got your gun belt and holster cowboy? This is a great gun belt and holster. Quality material and rugged build.

I am in love with the quality of my belt and holster. It doesnt try to be too flashy and is just over all appealing on the eye, while also being sturdy and reliable. Gonna buy a Cross draw holster to go with it once I get another revolver.

I sits well on me, and is exactly what I was looking for.

Better than I thought, right size, holds my SAA securely. Looks great and well worth the price. Most like this sold elsewhere run three times as much and don't seem to offer any greater value.

This craftsmanship is top notch and you will not be disappointed. It will fit well as long as you provide the proper measurement that is asked for. I am very happy with this belt.

In that there are no "brick and mortar" outlets in my rural area that allowed me to "touch and feel" the gun belt and holster I needed for my Ruger Vaquero 38/357 revolver (Bisley grip), I did an extensive web search. Prices varied from about $70 to over $300, but only Historic Emporium offered the variety of products and obvious commitment to the entire culture of our American Western history. Customer comments were detailed and very helpful, along with specific recommendations by Historic Emporium Customer Service. The quality of my belt and holster is superb, and size recommendation from Customer service smack on. The steel casing sandwiched between the double layer holster saddle allowed me to hand form the holster to a perfect fit for my Bisley Vaquero (5.5" barrel) in only minutes, with no water soaking needed. The ammo loops are perfectly sized, firmly gripping the 38/357 rounds. The hammer loop was a bit short for the Bisley hammer format, but easily adjustable. The stainless steel revolver with ivory grips presents a stunning and authoritative appearance in this high quality, plain black leather.

Gun belt and holster are great. Quality is 100% awesome. Sizing is accurate, but I ordered based on where I thought it would sit on my hips - turns out it is too big. I’ll need to shorten it a few inches to make it fit properly, but this is my fault not the manufactuerers or vendors fault. Don’t hesitate to purchase if you need a gun belt the quality is top notch.

So far so good in Coyboy Action Shooting

It was exactly what my husband was looking for

Bought this as an entry point rig for SASS. But to be candid, this combo is much higher quality than expected and may be more than just a starter set. Belt is high quality and the tooling was very nicely done. Incredibly happy with the purchase.

Got my new double holster real fast. It looks good and carries my colts great. I'm very happy. Thank you

I was impressed by the cost vs quality of the product. Very nice designs and the leather is thick and heavy duty. Very nice. Thanks!

The rig was OK I suppose but the cartridge loops were way to large for my cartridges and they would just fall out. I took it to the local leather shop and had the loops replaced now much better. I will be using this rig for " B-Western" in local SASS Cowboy Action Shooting competition but haven't used it yet as it is still winter here and practice hasen't even started yet.

I REALLY like this purchase!! Fits me like a glove.. Real nice Leather work.. Thanks Historical Emporium!!

I received this holster within a week . However it was one size too large. Returned it for an exchange and received one size smaller within a week and fit like a glove. This is a quality piece at a reasonable price . Order with confidence and their Customer Service is EXCELLENT !

This gun belt is perfect!!! Craftsmanship is incredible!!! Such detail!! Fits perfectly and holds .45 Cal guns perfectly!!! Highly recommend this company and their gun belts!!!

Overall the rig is good, I was disappointed in the thickness of the leather. It feels a little cheap compared to my other rig. For the money I think it is an OK deal. I don't know if I would buy another rig here and just wait until I have the money to get a rig with better quality leather. If you are just starting out in Cowboy Action Shooting, this would be a good starter holster.

Very nice leather work.Also my two s/w 45and 357 fit perfect.My wife said i look like Yosemite Sam.Thanks.I have a 1911 and i will buy a holster for it

I like this holster, wish I had ordered a size smaller but that is on me, I was paranoid about getting it too small. Still gorgeous and my Traditions Frontier S.A.s fit perfectly. Also had a very generous amount of ammo loops (22 loops that fit .45 long colt perfectly). Can't go wrong ordering this rig especially from Western Emporium!

HAPPY WITH THE PRODUCT. SHOULD WORK WELL FOR COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING. OBVIOUSLY NOT A CUSTOM MADE RIG BUT WOULD WORK WELL FOR STARTING OUT IN COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING.

I received the gunbelt in the time Historical Emporium said it would be delivered and it was everything I expected. It looks great and fits great. It looks like the one that the Lone Ranger wore back in the 60's. I got one 2 inches bigger than my waist, rather than one 4 inches bigger. I have a single right-hand gunbelt that is 4 inches bigger than my waist and I have to take it all the way up. This time, I thought I would try the next smaller size. I have 2 reproduction colt .45s for Cowboy Action Shooting and they fit very well and the bullet loops are perfect. the only thing that I changed was the leg tie down strap on one side was not as long as I would like. I took the tie down off of my other holster and now it's fine.

very nice, a little big so will have to shrink or get just a new belt. other than that i really like the holster set up.

The best holster I ever bought*****

The best holster I ever bought*****

Holster is well made high quality reasonable price unfortunately I ordered 1 size too small

I have 4 of these and yours is the best

Beautiful holster and belt. Well made. Good quality.

Very impressed with how thick the leather is. This should last longer then me.

I like it for this preticurlar weapon

Its well made and it's a cross drow

excellent fit and use.

Love it. It quickly molded to the 1873, and provides a great, secure fit.

Great craftsmanship! Love this holster for my .22 Cal Ruger Wrangler. Also have the Historical Emporium .22 cal belt (as pictured) and would recommend both to anyone going for that quality old western look.

Excellent metal lined cross draw holster. Fits well, sits nice. Resembles the rig worn by Lee Van Cleef in many movies.

I just purchased a colt saa and needed a holster preferable a cross draw. I saw your add and I liked what I saw, then I looked up reviews ,and I was sold. This a really special holster and it can be adjusted for your particular guns shape. Love it.

Order came sooner than I figured . Very easy to form to the 45 and my 51/2" Cattleman clears it very fast and smooth. Takes awhile to calm down the smell but is well worth the wait. The leather is worked well and is better than rigs at twice { or better } the price.looks great with my old hawg leg [ Buntline} rig from the 70's .

Nice Holster. High quality well constructed product. Completely Happy with it.

It fit nicely with what I had for it.

Very good quality item and I received it faster than expected. Great product!

I have a ruger new model Blackhawk, 4 5/8" barrel. I was sceptical of it because of the price but was very well pleased of its quality. Snug enough that its not sloppy,but yet lose enough to quick draw. Hammer guard fits perfect but seems to be adjustable. I just wish i would have bought the belt at the same time.

Great all around cross draw.

Love the holster & belt , 44 mag rds fit perfectly had to adjust holster to fit ruger blackhawk but now perfect , took like 2 mins

Received my holster and belt in 2-3 days. Very well made and sits well on my hips. Excellent fit for both my Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 mag and my Blackhawk .45 Colt. Both have 7.5” barrels and fit perfectly!

Received my gun belt and holster quickly and it was exactly what I was looking for. Fits my Remington New Model Army .44 perfectly and looks great

Great product well fit and amazing detail

What a terrific company to deal with. The holster I ordered was perfect. The sizing information was right on. The shipping was quick and the holster arrived sooner than I expected. I would recommend Historical Emporium without reservation. Thanks

its exactly what i wanted

Great holster for the money.

Great holster for the money.

The holster was more that expected for the price, very pleased. I will shop here again!!

this holster is 1 1/2" too short for my 8" .44 new model army. the holster is VERY loose and despite the "steel" layer inside, ostensibly used for crushing the holster flatter, it is nevertheless way too wide. looks real chineese. good costume gag but not functional.

Nice Belt. Gun fit nicely. Great!!!

The gun belt holster is the real deal. Not a toy. Solidly built. I will be taking this belt out hunting out in the woods and I don't expect any problems. If... I were to make one complaint, I think the manufacturer may have cut the large part of the belt behind the buckling strap a little short. Only the two inside holes for the buckling strap could be used. If I were to let it out to the third hole or farther the larger belt can't reach the loop that holds it in place behind the buckle. Luckily for me the 2nd to the tightest hole was the one that fits me. But if I ever needed to let it out any further the belt won't stay in place. Other than that... A#1 !!!

The gun belt/holster was quality construction. Other reviews mentioned the strong dye aroma. I wiped it down with a soft cotton cloth per the enclosed instructions and let it hang in the garage for a few days. Plus I coated it with some mink oil and it was fine. The cartridge loops hold the .45 Colt cartridges snugly, and my Colt SAA fits like it's been in that holster for years. A lighter color in this model would be a nice option.

This is my second holster purchase from historical emporium. Purchased this holster for the Ruger 44-40. Great fit once again. I would recommend these holsters to anyone that is thinking about purchasing one. Well worth the money, you will NOT be disappointed. High quality.

The holster is absolutely stunning. The workmanship is perfect and my 7.5" Colt Open Top Single Action fits. Very happy with it.
