Thank you both for your response , I knew I could count on you guy's . The style of that holster just say's Old West Real Deal to me . The Colt pictured with it is a fine piece for sure . I have tried the 7 1-2 " 1878 in a well made Full flap holster I have it fits good a bit more snug in the action area than the 1873 Colt , but think the leather will form fit after a while . After seeing the holster picture , I'm thinking I need that .LOL ,,,,DT
