Howdy pards,
Been working on a shooting persona I am thinking Wyoming, Montana or the Dakotas in the late 1870’s to about 1895. and am thinking of a new gun belt. The character will be carrying a big bore rifle either a Winchester 1876 or Winchester 1886 rifle. Now I don’t know the caliber yet, I have been looking at several on the auction sites and there is a variety out there. For a pistol I am thinking a Uberti Russian in 44 Russian.
My question is what kind of gun belt would a lawman, Deputy US Marshal wear on the high plains? What should the width be? I have seen rifle/Sharps belts from 3 to 5 inches wide. What about a holster?
Thanks,
