Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 4,405 Posted January 22 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 5,157 Posted January 22 So easy-Buy both styles. Then you can sell(if you want)the style that doesn't fit your needs..... OLG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Springfield Slim SASS #24733 284 Posted January 22 How long are the barrels? Slim Jim holsters look better with long barrelled guns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fargo Bill, SASS #4942 7 Posted January 22 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goody, SASS #26190 636 Posted January 22 I think this double loop looks good beside a 5 inch gun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stump Water 82 Posted January 22 I googled "Schofield Holster". Of the images returned, I like this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tyrel Cody 2,986 Posted January 22 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/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chili Pepper Pete 11917 95 Posted January 22 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willy B.SASS#26902 73 Posted January 22 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chili Pepper Pete 11917 95 Posted January 22 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Colorado Coffinmaker 2,032 Posted January 22 I like the Snake-Eye's holster. I go similar but with Red Stitching and Red inner Liner on a Black holster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 4,405 Posted January 23 I think I've settled on a slim jim design coupled with a Fair Weather Christian cartridge bel with canvas loops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 861 Posted January 23 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
