Nostrum Damus SASS #110702 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Or would I need another set of holsters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-eye, SASS#45097 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Mine didn't so I got a set made for Schofields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 It probably won't fit in a holster designed specifically for the Colt. But I have generic "universal" holster and it goes in them just fine. Question: Do you have a Schofield or an American? Two different guns.

Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Yes and no! They can fit but not very good, the profile of the schofield is different. I have put my schofield in my holster and used it for a shoot but for long term I had a holster made for it. Rafe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's what Cimarron calls it: https://www.cimarron-firearms.com/model-no-3-1st-model-american-45lc-8-in.html I call it a Schofield 1st Model.

The description in bold is the gun in the photo. It is an American which can be identified by the length of the barrel underlug and the top strap locking latch. The fine print is a description of a Schofield not an American. This is a Schofield. This is an American. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Injun Ryder, SASS #36201L Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I have Schofields and Colts. The Schofields (and I would assume the American) will not fit in a holster fitted for a Colt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Larsen beat me to the punch. I was gonna post pics of mine, but since he did, I won't. What caliber is your American, Nostrum? Their website listed several as being available, and I really wanted a .44 Special to pair with my Buntline so I could go all Wyatt Earpish, but all I could find for sale anyplace was .45 Colts, which is what my Schofield is chambered for. Rather ironic that the reproductions are in those calibers, if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Stay tuned. I just ordered a Cimarron S&W American in 44WCF 5". I expect it to take a week to get here. Then a few days to pick up from FFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Will the S&W American fit in a Slim Jim holster for a 51, 60 Colt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The barrel and underlug might go in, but the front of the frame, by the pivot might be too big. The revolver would have to go in pretty deeply since it might the gun might be too top heavy. I have a Schofield holster that Bob Mernickle made for me years ago, which is similar to the ones for Colt SAA frames, but the pouch was wider to allow for the pivot. I still have the holster, but not the gun. If you want it you can have it. If the American is 8", then it won't work as the Schofield has a 7" barrel.

DeaconKC Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 I have a 7" Schofield and while it will fit in some, it is not a guaranteed fit. One of the biggest hurdles is the front/top opening must be lower than a SAA or it can trip the break latch when holstering the gun. With these long snouted beasties, if you have a flat enough stomach, cross draw will help, otherwise a lower slung holster will make your life much easier.

DeaconKC Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I found that my 5" Schofield fits really well in the Hunter Texas Jockstrap holsters the size 40 fits the 5" I have. I really like it. You can see how the release is well clear of the holster lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I forgot, if you can find the NRA holsters on fleabay, some will fit right off, but others may need about an 1/8" trimmed to not hit the release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
