As much as it will pain you to learn...............it's called the "Texan"  I've got a couple of 'em for my Flattops and Bisleys, and recently bought the money belt for my little Rossi '92 since it comes with even more loops than the Texas belt. That Duke holster looks great. I've keep buying the Threepersons, but have wanted to try the Duke #44. It will probably get the nod on the next order.

I think it's called the Western.
Travis I'm not sure what his is called, all I know is it looks very good, and it's hefty. I wish El Paso made .22 ca'tridge belts..... That would be UBER.

Flave,
It's not a Texan. I looked at this holster.. a lot. Hear it's well lined and very smooth. Problem was, they only had it in New Vaquero/Colt SAA (thinner) for lefties. I wanted it for my Old Vaquero.
On EPS site, it's under Western style holsters.
Half-Breed.
Not "Texan".

"Schweeet! Nash has the same rig.... Is that the money belt?"
I was referring to the belt, not the holster, in answer to the quote above.
The holster used to be part of the "Duke rig", but is now called the "#44 outfit."

Yeah, rem. That's how they make mo money. They try to cornfuse you.
BTW- the Duke rig isn't the "real" Duke rig from the movie. That one was specially made for John Wayne for that picture. If you check the pics and video (don't waste your time. I already did.), it's not exactly the same.
Good schit, though. Just have to wade through the advertising to get to the meat.

Yeah, I did the research on the Duke rig also. Bianchi even made one years ago. EPS makes one called the "shootist" which looks much closer to what JW used, but still isn't quite right either. EPS claims JW used their holster, but not has never provided any documentation.
My only reservation on the Duke/#44 holster is the trigger guard area. The design appears to be most suited to the slimness of a true SAA, not the Blackhawk. It seems like their mold gun might be a SAA. For other guns like a S&W DA, the trigger guard will again seat inside the holster some.
Probably knitpickin', but that's one reason I keep ordering the Threepersons instead. The other is my reservation of going too western. Otherwise I'd love some of their full blown cowboy rigs like the Cheyenne, 1880, 1890, or floral carved 1930 Austin.

Half Breed style holster and rough-out belt. Along with the Paladin, Arness, Eastwood, etc ... Beautiful work.

222Rem was correct. It is called the Texas Belt.
It's in the trash now.

Travis I'll dispose of it properly if you wouldn't mind digging it out of the trash.

Travis You should probably ship me that holster for my Flattop before you notice the fine print on the stamping and throw it out too.

It seems like their mold gun might be a SAA. For other guns like a S&W DA, the trigger guard will again seat inside the holster some. I assure you EPS will use whatever mold gun is appropriate. They're not going to use a SAA mold if you order it for a Blackhawk.

OK, fair enough. I own a fair number of their goods, and have also studied all the photos I can dig up on the 'net. If you compare the way Travis' Flattop sits in his holster vs. the way a Colt does, hopefully you'll see what I'm referring to. The Flattop's trigger guard is completely outside the holster like it would be in a Threepersons. A Colt SAA rides lower, which I'd assume is due to a more narrow trigger guard and/or top strap. I've made the assumption, even if I'm completely wrong, that EPS cuts the leather the same for both gun models, and then molds them with the correct dummy guns. It would save time and effort if they could successfully pull that off, and only obsessives like myself would likely spot the difference. Compare HERE
