Pale Rider Holster, A leather holster project.
Рет қаралды 38,145
3 жыл бұрынWatch as I make my version of the holster that Clint Eastwood used in the movie "Pale Rider". A "New Model Army" with 9 cartridge loops and two cylinder loops adorn the rig that the "Preacher" wore when he slayed the evil Sherriff that tried to quash a bunch of hard working "Tin Pans" just trying to make it big in the old west!

Nice! looks like a fun project. I looked at the spare cylinder pouches and it appears the pouches are made with one strip of leather a little taller than 1/2 the belt height. It also looks like they used spring metal clamps to hold it to the belt. I think it starts pulling off when he pulls out the cylinder and he has to change direction to keep it attached to the belt. It also looks like they are moving cock-eyed against the belt. But that's just my guess.

I had to do a swap weeks later for another video and was kinda fumbling about on camera. I think part of it is getting the muscle memory, but it is also breaking in the gun and spare cylinders.

One thing, though - all the guns in Pale Rider are cartridge conversions, and presumably that was done to allow the use of blanks, which was problematic in cap and ball revolvers, but they were supposed to play regular cap and ball revolvers in the film.
@SmallCaliberArmsReview 2 жыл бұрын
You are correct! I have both BP and Cartridge Conversions with the exception of his 1858 Remington Pocket he tucked in his belt. His Remington Pocket, was .31 and had a trigger guard, everything I've found has a spur trigger. The same was done in the "Dollars Trilogy" movies. Thanks for watching!

Make the cylinder loops a little taller and add a toe that is sewn in. I believe that would make them fairly secure.

The only suggest I could make is to sew a 1/2" of leather thong to the belt laterally where the cylinder would rest against it. I doubt you would even see it with the cylinders loaded in the belt. I had to sew a weld of leather under a row of loops to support .45 ACP rounds. It works well and I can run. 45 Colt rounds over it if necessary (the gun has two caliber cylinders). Too bad the cylinder holder didn't just slide on the belt so you could just cut a leg that sewed on the bottom as support like modern speedloaders. Great job.

Revolver cap and ball; Two extra cylinders cap and ball. What for the metalic cartridges?
@SmallCaliberArmsReview Жыл бұрын
They do make metallic cartridge cylinders for this revolver. I don't have any because they each cost just as much as the revolver. The movie used metallic cartridges because they are easily loaded as blanks for safety. Also carrying a loaded and capped, cap and ball cylinder is pretty dangerous. If they fall and hit a cap, they can go off.

Very nice!!! How to subscribe. One question though..... Why not thread the end of the belt where the cartridge loops are at through the holster loop?

That would still have been a tight fit. I made the holster loop fit pretty snug on the belt to minimize movement. I also wanted to make the stitches on the cylinder loops look more like the movie holster. Thanks for subscribing and thanks for watching!

I am quite impressed with your craftsmanship. Roughly how long did it take you, in terms of your labor? I am guessing the drying added a few days to the project. Do you have a video that shows how you did the stitching in some detail? Thanks again for your video!

Thank you! I worked on it a total of 3 days BUT, in those 3 days there were two holsters made. I did not like the way the first one fit the pistol. I cut 4 belt blanks until I found one I could use. I had to do my normal duties around the house too. Drying is usually overnight depending on how late you get it wet and how early you get up!

A question. When you have the front drawn out on paper, how do you determine how much more leather is needed for the bend and the back of the holster? It looks like you simply did this using the paper, but wouldn't leather require more material because it is thicker?
@SmallCaliberArmsReview 8 ай бұрын
Leather absolutely will require more. Sometimes it's just by experience, and I have ruined a few pieces of leather doing it. You get the hang of it after a few times. You can use a thin piece of leather strap, sort of like a ruler and check the length at different areas. I have also seen people use craft foam for their pattern, it's a little cheaper than leather and easier to work with. Wet molding also helps out a LOT! Thanks for watching!
@pacanis 8 ай бұрын

@SmallCaliberArmsReview 3 ай бұрын
Maybe. It's really kind of hard to say though. Sometimes different pieces of leather will take the dye differently though. Dye needs to be put on evenly to get good results. Just remember, you can always go darker, but you can't go back. Ask all the questions you want! I might not always have the right answer, but I can let you know what I think.
