It's great how much AZ Ghostriders has grown since then. I partly credit RDR2 to getting me back into western history and gear and I'm sure glad I did.
A canvas belt and loops helps keep your cartridges from turning green too. BTW, nickle plated cartridges were developed for modern Police who also carried their ammo in leather belt loops.
Well, you just earned a subscriber. I was delighted by the informative nature of the hosts, and the tomfoolery that went into making this moving picture.
I've often wondered what happened to the gunbelt Richard Boone wore in the TV series " Have Gun Will Travel " ? It had the chess piece " Knight " on the outside of the holster. It was also black just like the working clothes Paladin wore.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Very late reply, but that rig (or at least one iteration of it) is on display at the Buffalo Bill Center for the West in Cody, Wyoming.
Hello! And howdy friend. I love belts and all types of accessories. As always fun and creative entertainment for sure. Thank you for all you do. Happy back to school time! Yeah! See ya soon Belle.🔔
Greetings from Ireland. Great video. How about one on the different way's to carry gun's such as cross draw, carrying two or more and saddle holsters for rifle's and hand gun's, not forgetting back-up gun's such as derringer's. Not to forget the modern question, open or concealed carry?
Seen you on the Scalicis and came to visit,, Great channel of the old West one of my favorite subjects growing up with the western movies. Very cool gun belt history and bullets. Love those belt buckles Will see you again for sure.
Since I found your channel, I have enjoyed your videos. I used to do some living history. Law enforcement in the cowboy days. A lot of fun. Watching your vids very informative and fun. Thanks.
Great vid. I loved the humour. I'm currently writing a western screenplay & aiming to shoot a short teaser for the project this summer so I've been researching what was really used back then, as opposed to what was used in Hollywood westerns. I've been ploughing through hundreds of old pictures & out of all of them I've seen 2 drop leg type holsters, one of which I think was only worn that way so the gun was nicely presented to the camera. Almost everyone has their gun up high on their hip or slung over their belly. One thing that really surprised me was how many people had a full flap cavalry type holster, the complete opposite of the "quick draw gunslinger" mythos. You'd be surprised how hard it is to get hold of reasonably authentic kit here in England! Without paying a fortune for it anyway...
I'm sure you've already made your teaser, but I would recommend a Webley holster like Indiana Jones for a flap holster, looks the part and should be easy enough to find. Flap holsters are alot more practical than the quick-draw kind, especially for percussion guns that were best kept out of the weather
i swear Bill doesn’t want to move on because he loves annoying you and your friends…you keep his memories alive so he repays you with fun and interesting stories😎 RIP, Bill, and may you annoy Santee for years to come!
Santee, I always re - watch your videos no matter how many times I've seen them. Could you possibly do a video on how the Hollywood style Buscadero Belt came into use ? . Keep up the great work you folks !.
Great video, I really like the money belt, always thought that was a newer idea until now. Its always been a dream of mine as long as I can remember to live in Arizona. It looks like such a beautiful place, don't get me wrong, I love Canada, however if I had the chance I would definitely be there.
Hey Santee! ... “ Accessorize “? My wife’s Great, Great, Great Grand Mother Invented & sold many of those Gun Holster Accessories, in her Western Store On Rodeo Drive! : Buckles, Colored Belts, Silver Studded And a smaller Belt so the Women Folk could easily slide their Purses & Cell Phone pouches On And Off. Tales are still told today on how “ Mother Airborne “ could outdraw her Amex Platinum Card faster than any gal! Wonder, besides Bartering, for Locals or Ranching concerns? - did shops ever give Credit to buy those Gun Belts? Etc.? Darth Airborne Nobody 55’ NYC
You showed a picture of the double row cartridge belt but didn't talk about it. It was a rare belt with a double width and held twice the ammo. It was great for the 44.40 which could be used in the colt revolver and the winchester rifle.
Yes Arizona GR , It covers the revolver ( 357) and has a styled flap with snap that comes over the handle. Only the butt of the gun sticks out.( for walking through brush). On the front it says: GOD, FAMILY, COUNTRY. All looks professional! From Arizona High Desert(North).
You will note that the period pictures show Mexican Loop holsters, but they don't hang low on a belt extension with leather tie-down thongs mid thigh like in the Western movies. The fact is low hanging pistol holsters and belts were no invented until the early 20th century. Their use in Westerns is just as bogus as showing solders coming home from the Civil War in the late 1860's with 1873 Colt Single Actions and 1892 Winchesters with lope levers, (ala John Wayne).
I've looked through hundreds of old pics of lawmen & outlaws recently for research. Out of all of them only 2 had anything remotely like the drop leg holsters you described. There's a reason for that. These people knew what they were doing & the vast majority of them wore their guns high. I won't say absolutely nobody had a drop leg set up back then but they were obviously extremely uncommon, because they're completely impractical. Anybody who's worn one & tried to do anything other than trudge around slowly knows this.
I've been tying to find a gun belt without the holster believe it or not so I can add on my own. Mostly to match up with what you said Santee. "Not everything matched in the old west. Function to over fashion." And that exactly the look I wanted to go for. Mostly for a cowboy, or outlaw look, kinda like they just grabbed whatever gun belt and holster off of some poor dead sap for the outlaw and threw it together, or like maybe they didn't have enough money to buy a holster so they got a gun belt, and a old friend gave them a holster that didn't match for the cowboy.
Another great video Santee full of history and funny to boot 👍🤠 I need to get a rig for my 1875 Outlaw I have . I can't remember if you did 1 on how they protected their rifles or not I've seen so many great videos of yours If not maybe 1 on that 👊🤠 Later Cowboy 👍☝️🤠🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Cool. Mine is made from a cinch strap 3 1/2 in wide with a double pin sliding coupler buckle. Works great! Good video! ( Ha ha ha) Made my holster from an old saddlebag and used copper rivets.
@@ArizonaGhostriders I know... I'm glad I got mine when I did.i mostly use my replica guns and holsters for display in my "man cave." It's an awesome look!
Fantastic vid. I do wonder if Western gun belts and bandoliers could still be useful in the present day like hunters and local law enforcement use in someway.
When did belts like that become popular? After the civil war? I'm curious since I only found this video while looking up when ammo like that was used in the wild west.
Arizona Ghostriders it is called The Charcoal Corral in Castile NY they have a website check it out. They have giant inflatables for kids one is a Stage Coach. A Wild West mini golf course and a twin Drive in movie screens!
First I want to say Happy Birthday to Bill. Thanks Santee for another great and informative video. My gun belt is normally the one that I wear for my War Against Northern Aggression reenactments. Usually has an oval NC belt buckle or a English import rectangle CSA buckle. I usually carry 2 pistols in either cross draw or reverse draw configuration. I prefer reverse draw out of holster the most or pull pistols with but forward and do road agent spin to bring barrels in to alignment.
Hey do you Think I could Use a cartridge Belt Just for hanging my bowie knife with a leather sheath on it, i dont have a Revolver But i like the look of the belt to hang my bowie knife since i go up to the mountains!😅 thanks!
Hey santee, how’s your day going? I was wondering if the gun belt with interchangeable buckles was durable and what kind of knot you use to tie the buck and the cartridge loops.
Can you recommend an inexpensive place to get a leather cartridge belt and holster? Not looking for the Hollywood style low slung holster attached to the belt. Looking for something a little more reserved and authentic
So, I heard you said something about “Old West reenactments”. If you don’t mind me asking, how would one go about getting involved in something like that? And what does one of the reenactments typically encase, or cover?
Reenactments are a better word for Civil War folks who actually re-enact events that took place. Some Old West people do reenactments of historical events, but mainly we do representations of what could have happened. For instance, in Tombstone, AZ, there are many groups who have recreated the OK Corral shootout. Our group does a reenactment of the Tunnel Saloon gunfight, but mainly make up skits that fit the venue we are going to. In your area, check the web or talk to some folks at a history museum and see who does it.
Now every time I watch a video that ends with "Like, Share, And Subscribe", I always say "And we'll see you on down the trail!" In my head lmao. Thanks for all the great videos Santee!
Hey, Santee (Scourge of the Southwest and Master of Fashionable Accessories), I have a question: If someone on a stagecoach were wearing a soft belt (or money belt), and got held up on the trail, would the average highwayman be able to distinguish his cash belt from other more ordinary types?
Are you going to bling up your saddle bags too? A little Razzle Dazzle? That, I want to see! LOL Well I sure hope these guns aren't loaded... 🤣 Love your videos! Always fun and informative. RIP, Bill!

Well, I've already covered tobacco, but I might go in depth into cigars. I can tell you that we are fond of Romeo Y Julietas. For shows where we get shot and have to die, you'll find us smoking Backwoods (quick smoke).

HAHA! I don't doubt it.

That's useful info. When you go to war with your dogs or grandkids.
You mean the NERF loops are conveniently made for .45.
I'm convinced they did that on purpose.
A money belt? Oh you mean a MUNEH belt.
HA! Yes, Arthur, I do.
Nope… he means a Munny belt….. as in William Munny….

does shoulder holster this kind of holster design using in old west? *saw Magnificent Seven(2016) Chris Pratt using one of this in the movie
