Leather Western Cross Draw Holster

The Historical Emporium, a brand with a rich heritage, presents a comprehensive guide on how to ensure the perfect fit for your revolver's holster. By adjusting the holster's shape, you can achieve a snug and secure fit, whether your pistol has a standard, long, or extra-long barrel.

Measuring the Barrel Length: To determine the appropriate holster size, measure the length of your revolver's barrel from the face of the cylinder to the end of the barrel, as illustrated in the provided diagram.

Holster Sizing Options: The Historical Emporium offers three distinct holster lengths to accommodate a variety of barrel sizes. The standard length holsters are designed for pistols with barrels ranging from 4 to 6 inches, the long holsters are suitable for pistols with 6 to 8 inch barrels, and the extra-long holsters are made for pistols with 8 to 10 inch barrels.

Adjusting the Holster: If you find that your pistol does not fit snugly into the holster, you can easily adjust the shape of the holster opening for a better fit. The holster features an integrated steel frame, sandwiched between the leather layers, that can be bent using pressure on the sides or ends. After the adjustment, the holster should hold its new shape.

Holster Modifications: - If the holster mouth is too circular and your pistol feels loose, press down on the side of the holster to make the opening more oval-shaped. - If the holster mouth is too flat and tight against the sides of the pistol frame, squeeze the ends to widen the opening.

Quality Assurance: The Historical Emporium takes great pride in the holsters they offer, working closely with their manufacturers to ensure the highest standards of color, leather grade, and manufacturing quality.

The Holster: The presented holster is an extremely well-made, left-hand cross-draw western holster crafted from smooth leather. It is designed to slide onto a belt and is sized for a standard-frame revolver, accommodating barrel lengths from 6 to 8 inches. Crafted from saddle-grade leather with durable stitching, this holster is built to last, ensuring long service. It also features an adjustable leather hammer loop to keep your gun secure, whether you're riding across the plains or participating in an old-fashioned Western shootout.
