Firearm enthusiasts were all saddened last year when Mike Venturino passed away. A collection of his columns for American Handgunner was published, and I ordered one right away. It is a great collection with many years of Mike's knowledge in his postings. Click the photo if you wish to get a copy for yourself, or for friends and family.
Mike discussed Mexican Loop holsters in one of his articles, an authentic style of holster from the late 19th Century. He featured a couple from Wolf Ears Holsters, Stan Dolega, proprietor, of Laramie, Wyoming. Stan builds his Mexican Loop holsters with a bit of belly between the two restraining straps, so the holster doesn't try to climb when you draw. It is an authentic design that was used in the 19th Century. Click the photo for Wolf Ears' website.
The holsters are made to order, so there is a bit of lag time after ordering. Stan called to make sure the information I sent was correct, and provided an estimated time. Wyoming, and his shop was very cold at the time, and he was running behind, but the holster arrived in three weeks. It is a perfect fit, and shows excellent workmanship. Click over to Stan's website and have a look around.
