Texas Shoulder Holster
The Texas Shoulder Holster follows an old working pattern made for shorter-barreled versions of the full-size frontier revolvers. This is not a small-frame holster. It is the same Texas shoulder holster pattern we offer for 5½- and 8-inch barrels, simply cut down to suit 3- and 4-inch barrel revolvers such as the Sheriff’s Model and the Storekeeper model. That keeps the proportions and practical design of the original while giving a shorter gun a closer fit.
Made for 3–4 inch barreled revolvers, the Texas is cut from 6–7 oz. leather and oiled to a rich natural tan. The leather shoulder strap keeps the holster in place, while the lighter construction lets it lay close against the body and remain comfortable through a long day. A right- or left-hand draw is available.
The border stamping on the pouch was chosen to closely approximate an original. As with most of our holsters, this pattern comes from an original piece we found and had reproduced for River Junction. Each holster is hand-cut from the hide, worked and tooled at the leather-smith’s bench, then dyed, oiled, and sewn by hand with linen thread.
The heavy Huckleberry-style rigs commonly seen today may look the part, but they are often too heavy to stay comfortably in place all day. The Texas takes the opposite approach, using lighter leather much like the originals, so it rides close and stays comfortable.
