Old West Fast Draw Leather Holster for Single Action Revolvers

A Classic Fast Draw Holster Rooted in Old West Tradition

The Old West Fast Draw Leather Holster for Single Action Revolvers is designed around the traditional open-top holster styles favored in historic Western shooting and exhibition settings. Fast draw holsters emphasize clean lines, minimal obstruction, and consistent positioning on the belt, allowing for a smooth and natural draw motion.

This holster reflects that heritage with a simple, functional profile intended for open carry use in Cowboy Action Shooting, reenactment, and Western display.

Real-World Use Context

In Western shooting disciplines and period reenactment, fast draw holsters are commonly used where speed, consistency, and historical accuracy are prioritized over retention systems or concealment. The Old West Fast Draw holster follows this approach by positioning the revolver securely on the belt while keeping the grip unobstructed for a natural draw stroke.

This design mirrors traditional gunfighter holsters rather than modern tactical or concealed-carry systems.
