I saw this type of holster in a book – thought I would make a few.
Seems like a few officers in the cavalry would chop the flap off their holsters.
This is noted in a few articles in magazines and in the book “Packing Iron”

Offered in cross-draw only – about a 35 deg cant.

Fits most civil war era pistols, including Colt 1851 Navy, Colt 1860 Navy, 1858 New Army Remington, and even the Schofield American

This is my interpretation of the “Jesse James” style holster he wore.

NOTE: Shown with an 8 inch barrel.

The U.S. Army adopted the .44 S&W American caliber Model 3 revolver in 1870, making it the first standard-issue, cartridge-firing revolver in US service. Most military pistols until that point were black powder cap-and-ball revolvers, which were (by comparison) slow, complicated, and susceptible to the effects of wet weather.

Many of the Model 3 Schofield revolvers served in the Indian Wars, with reports of them in use as late as the Spanish–American War and Philippine–American War. Like the other Model 3s, they were also reportedly popular with lawmen and outlaws in the American West, and were reportedly used by Jesse James, Bob Ford (who used one to kill James),[6] John Wesley Hardin, Pat Garrett, Theodore Roosevelt, Virgil Earp, Billy the Kid, and many others. The S&W No. 3 revolver was famously used by Wyatt Earp during the gunfight at the O.K. Corral with the Clanton Gang.

This holster can be ordered for a 3-1/2 inch, 5 inch or 7 inch barrel length

This holster is made from 8-9 oz vegetable tanned leather. This is important because vegetable tanned leather will not tarnish your firearm as other methods of tanned leather are prone to do.

The “Texas Jockstrap Holster” is a historical term for a specific style of handgun holster popular in the late 19th century, particularly in the American West. It’s characterized by its design, which resembles a jockstrap in its method of securing the firearm.

While not as common today, reproductions of Texas Jockstrap Holsters are still made for historical reenactors, cowboy action shooters, and those interested in traditional Western gear. They represent a unique piece of firearms history and a testament to the ingenuity of design in a time when functionality was paramount.

 

The Colt 1849 Pocket Pistol, a popular percussion revolver, was a smaller version of the 1851 Navy.
Over 340,000 were produced between 1850 and 1873, making it Colt’s most popular percussion firearm.
It was chambered in .31 caliber and had a 5-shot cylinder.
Barrel lengths varied, but the 4-inch model was most common.
It was popular among civilians and saw use during the Civil War.
The 1849 Pocket is a significant piece of American firearms history.

The Movie:
“The Outlaw Josey Wales” (1976), directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, tells the story of a Missouri farmer whose life is shattered by the Civil War. After witnessing the brutal murder of his family by Union soldiers, Josey Wales joins a Confederate guerrilla band to seek revenge.

The war ends, but Wales refuses to surrender, becoming an outlaw pursued by vengeful Union Captain Terrill and his Redlegs. He embarks on a journey westward, gathering a makeshift family of outcasts along the way, including an old Cherokee man, Lone Watie, and a young Navajo woman.

Wales’s journey is one of survival and redemption. He is a man haunted by loss and driven by a fierce sense of justice. Despite his violent past, he displays compassion and loyalty towards his companions. The film explores themes of revenge, forgiveness, and the search for peace in a turbulent time. Eastwood’s portrayal of Wales is iconic, embodying the stoic and rugged individualism that defines many of his Western characters.
