Designed to carry Civil War era revolvers, this heavy duty, black leather Civil War holster is a "cross-draw" style holster. An antique style closure fastens the cover over the butt of the pistol. This holster is designed to have the butt of the pistol facing forward so you reach across with the opposite hand and draw the pistol out. Fastens to your own belt.
If you're right-handed, you need the LEFT holster. If you're left-handed, you would need the RIGHT holster. Both are selectable options when ordering.
