“Keeping Western History Alive”

Western leather holsters custom made by Chisholm’s Trail Leather just for you. We do not mass produce these works of art. We make these Western leather holsters one at a time, as you order them. In the Old West, there were a great variety of patterns and all were highly functional for toting a cowboy’s six gun: his protection against threats that abounded nearly everywhere. Chisholm’s Trail has made improvement on the rough originals, especially in the functionality. The Soellner’s have learned trade secret treatments to make the interior and wearing edges of their Western leather holsters that allow you to draw your weapon faster than the cowboys in the old days. Note: for semi autos- If you have an extended magazine or bumper pad at the bottom, it is your responsibility to let us know and you will need to send one of these into us for correct fit.

ANTIQUING AND DISTRESSING 1878, 

Antiquing and distressing is a dusty dangerous job. You cannot just sit down and start antiquing the leather with something abrasive. If you do not wear a respirator, you get the powder created in the process in your lungs and you can get serious illnesses and breathing problems. We have learned you must wear a respirator, not just a dust mask- which is useless. You also need a rubber apron, long sleeves, safety glasses, and rubber gloves. By doing the process we have developed, we are able to capture the look of decades of wear and tear along the trail. Our process does NOT soften the holster, it remains firm and lightning fast to draw from. We charge $49.95 per piece to do this addition and it is worth every penny.
