The pistol looks small for the holster........Wet molding of gun leather is not just a "modern" method - again see Packing Iron for several examples, including those worn by Ed Schieffelin, the founder of Tombstone, his pair of holsters are heavily molded

Yeah I've seen a few in photos, I forgot about the one in PI.  That is another one of those, "they didn't do that back then" I hear about from time to time.  So many of the things folks post and tell me fit in the, "When the legand becomes fact, print the legand."
