DeaconKC Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Okay, picking up a 5 1/2" Uberti Open Top tomorrow. Will a holster for a typical Colt frame fit this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Be just a little roomy, but will work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singin' Sue 71615 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Does it happen to have a piece of steel in it? My Mernickle holsters have a piece of steel...squished it in a bit, and my 'smaller than Vaquero' Stallions fit fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Haven't gotten the holster yet. SO I am eyeballing the "BOX OF HOLSTERS" to see what might work. If not, at least I will know what to look for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Deacon Probably not. I haven't found a Holster, fitted for SA Colt replicas, that would work with an Open Top. The non-fluted cylinder, different angles and dimensions of the Ejector Assembly don't play well with SAA type holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hard to say. While the Army M1863 holster would fit the Colt's SAA, it will depend on the contours of the holster. Just have to try different ones and see. Stay well and safe! Situational awareness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 My '51 Richards-Masons, which are size/shape about the same as the OT, fit fine in all of my SAA holsters. My '61 and '60 were another matter, due to the larger chunk of barrel on the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen SASS# 74541 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It will probably work but if you try first would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watab kid Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 you can try it - worst case you need a new holster and thats not all bad , we all got multiple leather as we spent time in this game , Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogleg Hunter Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 My open tops fit my DeSantis cowboy rig just fine. '58 Remington fit them also. They do not fit my Mernickle rig at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
