Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Looking to shoot my S&W Performance Center Schofields more this season. Doc Nope will be making what ever style I decide to go with. I'm not looking for holsters that are competitive but more for a rig that will suit the period of the guns. I combed through my Packing Iron book and just can't seem to decide. I like slim jims and mexican loops alike. Doc can make a replica of any holster based off of a pic so I'm not limited by design at all. Anyone have any suggestions?
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 So easy-Buy both styles. Then you can sell(if you want)the style that doesn't fit your needs..... OLG
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 How long are the barrels? Slim Jim holsters look better with long barrelled guns.
Fargo Bill, SASS #4942 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 The Mexican loop will be easier to holster, but the Jesse James style is a beautiful rig and usable if the entry is firm and the edge curled a bit. The tear tooling is quite attractive on these also. They tended to ride higher for mounted shooting during the early years.
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I think this double loop looks good beside a 5 inch gun.
Stump Water Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I googled "Schofield Holster". Of the images returned, I like this one.
Deadshot Dan Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Just something about a double loop, has that little extra.
Shotgun Clay Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 http://www.willghormley-maker.com/Holsters.html Apparently this fellow made both the rigs for schofields in the latest version of 3:10 to Yuma and the Assassination of Jesse James
Tyrel Cody Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'd have him copy Jesse James holster, there's a photo of the original at the bottom of this article: http://artandrews.com/2008/06/david-carricos-involvement-with-jesse-james/
Chili Pepper Pete 11917 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Sounds awesome that your going to take them puppies out of the safe and use them. I'm a big fan of the Slim Jims, You can make the holster a bit longer than they need to be to get the slimmer look. I also like a black military style without the flap Best regards, Chili

Thanks for all the suggestions guys keep them coming.

Chase Randall, SASS #45902 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Charlie Prince rig from 3:10 to Yuma.
Willy B.SASS#26902 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 These aren't for Schofields but my Russians look good in these slim jims, for longer barrels i think slim jims are the way to go.
Chili Pepper Pete 11917 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'm not sure he has had a "pure" thought since I've known him. Secondly, How much more embarrassing for him when you whoop up on him with flap holsters and schofields
WymoreWrangler SASS 46187L Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I'd go with the Jesse James slim jim style....
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 I like the Snake-Eye's holster. I go similar but with Red Stitching and Red inner Liner on a Black holster.
Dutch Bullwhip Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 when i shoot my schofields i use slim jim type holsters,they are cut of a bit on the top for easy transitions. sometimes i use two crosdraws and carry them but forewards.

This site, http://www.westernleatherholster.com/western-movie-holsters/ claims they made the holsters for that 2008 3:10 to Yuma. They also have many historical holsters as well such as Jesse James. I correct myself. They made some of the holsters in 3:10 to Yuma.
Dead River Den, SASS#915 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 My vote is plain and simple slim jims

Fargo Bill, SASS #4942 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 That is a Dandy. Carried Butt forward.

Fargo Bill, SASS #4942 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 What is that made from? (kind of leather)

I correct myself. They made some of the holsters in 3:10 to Yuma. Interestingly enough the rig in 3:10 to Yuma with the guns showed up at a local gun store with paperwork authenticating it. It was appealing, but the tariff was a bit stiff.
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted January 23, 2019 Author Posted January 23, 2019 I think I've settled on a slim jim design coupled with a Fair Weather Christian cartridge bel with canvas loops.
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Howdy Slim Jims are great. I had one made up by El Paso Saddlery a bunch of years ago for my New Model Number Three. Turns out my Schofield fits in it too.
