I am looking for a source for a 1885 (?) cavalry holster. Specifically, the Span Am period for a colt 5 1/2" SAA or clone. This has to fit over the Mills belt when full. Any help will be appreciated.

Carrico Leather. I've got one that I used at this year's Grand Muster, and the quality is excellent!
-
Ditto on Dave Carrico
-
....Carrico makes some fine products.
-
I forgot to mention, if you need one for a 5 1/2", What Price Glory had some on e-Bay. Not the quality of Carrico, but very serviceable, and probably as good as the originals.
-
I thought David retired? ??? Good stuff though.
I think I got the one for my 1899 S&W from Coon Creek although it isn't the quality of Carrico
-
Which pattern are you looking for? The Pattern 1881, with the two holes in the flap (originally for the Schofield and Colt's), shortend to 5-1/2", or the later one with a single hole in the flap? Also, what is the width of the Mils belt? Trailrider Products should be able make either.

Hi, I have a Slim Jim from David and Miller-Fachet holster from Trailrider, both look great and work great. I like the Miller-Fachet because it's authentic AND is't a left handed holster.

Could easily do the Miller-Fechet for a 5-1/2" Colt's. "Say, 'when'!" ;)
-
I called Carrico. He has a lot of saddles to make.
-
Yes he is busy

It appears my website, which was piggybacked on the Gunfighter Zone, has been deleted without contacting me! :( Anyone wishing to reach me, please email me at trailrdr@ecentral.com . Thank you.
Stay well and safe!
Your obedient servant,
Trailrider

I reached out to Wolfears. He called me right back and I placed an order. A check is on the way and the wait time is reasonable too.
Thanks for the references. I'm looking forward to the finished product.

Glad it worked out
