One nice thing I discovered: the loops for .45 cartridges are actually the right size for holding Nerf blaster darts.

HAHA! I don't doubt it.

One of the reasons the canvas belts were popular was they do not form verdigris, nail polish was not available on the frontier.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

They were also very comfortable.

[@runlarryrun77]

On the frontier it's unlikely your cartridges would be in contact with the leather long enough to start tarnishing.

[@marryson123]

How are they secured just they are not looped through belt loops?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

There are no belt loops, they just strap around your waist.

I've often wondered what happened to the gunbelt Richard Boone wore in the TV series " Have Gun Will Travel " ? It had the chess piece " Knight " on the outside of the holster. It was also black just like the working clothes Paladin wore.

[@effigytormented]

Hey Regular Show reference!

[@oldgysgt]

You will note that the period pictures show Mexican Loop holsters, but they don't hang low on a belt extension with leather tie-down thongs mid thigh like in the Western movies. The fact is low hanging pistol holsters and belts were no invented until the early 20th century. Their use in Westerns is just as bogus as showing solders coming home from the Civil War in the late 1860's with 1873 Colt Single Actions and 1892 Winchesters with lope levers, (ala John Wayne).

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yep!

[@runlarryrun77]

I've looked through hundreds of old pics of lawmen & outlaws recently for research. Out of all of them only 2 had anything remotely like the drop leg holsters you described. There's a reason for that. These people knew what they were doing & the vast majority of them wore their guns high. I won't say absolutely nobody had a drop leg set up back then but they were obviously extremely uncommon, because they're completely impractical. Anybody who's worn one & tried to do anything other than trudge around slowly knows this.

[@larryrobinson6914]

If it fit andbcould hold your holster that's about it. Fancy embossed rigs were rarely seen in cowtowns filled with ordinary cowhands..

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Yep. They seem to be more prevalent early on, then as they became catalog items the tooling sort of disappeared for awhile.

[@PewPewBeets]

I'm curious, how common was it for people to wear belts simply to keep their pants on prior to the 20th century?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

uncommon, but it was done. Most pants had a cinch in the back to tighten the waist.

[@prophetdrogonaria4678]

So, I heard you said something about “Old West reenactments”. If you don’t mind me asking, how would one go about getting involved in something like that? And what does one of the reenactments typically encase, or cover?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

Reenactments are a better word for Civil War folks who actually re-enact events that took place. Some Old West people do reenactments of historical events, but mainly we do representations of what could have happened. For instance, in Tombstone, AZ, there are many groups who have recreated the OK Corral shootout. Our group does a reenactment of the Tunnel Saloon gunfight, but mainly make up skits that fit the venue we are going to. In your area, check the web or talk to some folks at a history museum and see who does it.

Hey, Santee. Been watching your videos for quite awhile now and have always enjoyed them and the history and entertainment. Out of curiosity, what type/colour of thread was used in gunbelts? I noticed in the video you had a few that seemed like dyed black threads; was this common, or more of a modern touch?

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

All the historic thread I've seen used on holsters was white or ivory colored.

[@Fisticuffs48]

@@ArizonaGhostriders Thanks for the response, Santee! Makes sense as dying would just be an unnecessary additional step. I was looking for a modern gunbelt but with a historic feel/look, so I think I got my answer.

@@Fisticuffs48 I usually add some of the holster color's dye to my thread so it doesn't stand out so much. Personal preference, though.

[@Doughboy842]

Fantastic vid. I do wonder if Western gun belts and bandoliers could still be useful in the present day like hunters and local law enforcement use in someway.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

I wouldn't doubt some hunters carry them. Law enforcement relies on semi-automatic weapons so they probably wouldn't carry them.

I wear standard trouser belt but my gunbelt is a second belt looped thru on one side but hanging on the other-being short makes standatrd belt holsters a pain.

[@slypperyfox]

Anyone know why John Wayne carried a longer than necessary cartridge halfway around his cartridge loops in the middle of his back? He does it in every western he's been in.

[@ArizonaGhostriders]

It's a .45-70 and the idea I read is that in a battle when you get to that bullet while reloading then you know you have are halfway out of rounds. Because the gunbelt is behind you, reloading is all "feel".

[@slypperyfox]

@@ArizonaGhostriders That's what I figured. I've seen other characters in westerns who wore a gun belt with three-four 45-70s at spaced intervals and probably for the same reason - depending on how many guns they were carrying. And to include that tidbit of detail in a movie is dedication. I do wish that there were a way to "insinuate" what caliber revolver a character was using. I've got several gun belts with loops sized for specific calibers. One of the belts I have is for 45 Colt and you can tell it from up close and at a distance . . . 45 Colt is a rather large cartridge. And while many people may assume a western character carries and uses a 45 Colt, many of the cartridges in their gun belts is definitely smaller than a 45.
