Arizona Ghostriders I made two or three different styles you probably have to search around to find the one that you like best but I enjoy wearing a shoulder holster holds my gun down better when I’m riding horses and when I’m hunting But my favorite holsters Crossdraw waste great for riding my Harley

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

@@r.french4415 Thanks for the info!

[@jmmartin7766]

@@r.french4415 Agree-- I carry crossdraw as well. It's not as fast as 'strong side' carry, but I find it allows me good access to my firearm with either hand-- especially when driving

[@southernexposure123]

@@jmmartin7766 I know this is an old reply. Just wanted to say recently started carrying a cross draw holster. It conceals real good under just a t-shirt and allows as quick a draw for me as strong side. To me it's more advantageous to draw while sitting so it's good standing, too.

The outhouses alone would prevent me from going. I had an Uncle who did not put in modern plumping in his farm. Using the outhouse always freak me out. His well was large enough that if it was horizontal you could drive a bus through. I had nightmares I would fall in the large gaping hole.

[@cytorakdemon]

"These shoulder holster rigs were awkward to draw from." So much so that it cost John Wesley Hardin his freedom. While on a train he was jumped by Texas Rangers, and in a last ditch effort to shoot his way out, tried to pull a gun from the shoulder holster inside his jacket but the gun got snagged on his suspenders.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Thanks Cindy!

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I never knew it was a shoulder holster he was drawing from! Cool.

[@Devin_Stromgren]

I take it he wasn't wearing a vest?

[@basilhatte]

IIRC Hardin had his pistols in rig somewhat like the "Antibellam" vest in the vid. Surprised in his seat by deputies, he jumped up, shouting "Texas, by God!", and drew both guns, only to have them caught up in his suspenders... as he struggled, the sherrif reached over and cold-cocked him with his Colt. Hardin was then carried off, unconscious, to jail.

[@nathanfaith8973]

Awesome video yet again! I found this channel via Red Dead 2, but have always loved western movies and the general history of the old west. I'm trying to convince my wife that we need to head out west with the kids, from Indiana and explore. Thanks for keeping the history of these times alive!

Several people below commented about making their own rig. Yes do it. I started 11 years ago watching a few youtube vids. The very first one was a 19th century cartridge belt and drop loop holster and was lovely. Of course now they are art. Leather is very forgiving, and at least mine are always beautiful. Hint: Springfield Leather from good ol Springfield MO. has good vids here. I get all my stuff from them. Tandy does vids to. Also I didn't buy any tools to do my first pieces. I hand sew so a machine isn't req and the results are better. I used the tools I had.

I posted photos of a shoulder rig I made on the website I think that a shoulder holster works best when used with a short-barreled(like, about 4 inches) gun. The cut-down 1861 Colt Army, the "Avenger", looks like it would be perfect for carrying in a shoulder holster

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yeah, the smaller guns are easier to get concealed and pulled out of the holster.

[@Courier-Six]

Hey, Santee, I was browsing through your back catalog and was wondering after watching this episode if you could do a episode about Semiautomatic pistols in the old west? It would be at the end of the era but I think it would be a fascinating topic given 1911s are used in a class of Cowboy Action Shooting. I also heard a story of a criminal escaping a local jail and stealing the sheriff's new pistol from the jail safe. When the sherrif confronted him, the cowboy couldn't shoot him because he didn't know how the safety worked. (Heard the story from Wild West Tech starring David Carradine on History Channel back in the day.)

It's been asked before and I will do one!

Thanks Santee & Co . When I stood Petty Officer of the Watch on board ships we carried our 1911a1 pistols on our hip in flap holsters. When I was a US Navy MP we carried our pistols in 'Tanker ' shoulder holsters . The tanker holster was more comfortable and probably quicker on the draw . Does being a Navy MP qualify as being Law Dog ? By the way , you are a fortunate fella to have a pretty wife such as Mrs Santee .
