Gunmate Hip Holster Small-Frame Pistols 00

About the Gunmate Hip Holster Small-Frame Pistols 00

Part of the Historic Replica Guns catalog, the Gunmate Hip Holster Small-Frame Pistols 00 is a reproduction built for display, costume and film work rather than for firing. It is cast, fitted and finished by hand, the moving parts operate like the original, and the barrel is solid, so no round can be chambered at any point.

A holster is cut for a frame, not for a brand. The 1911 pattern fits the Denix and Kimar 1911 replicas, the Peacemaker fits single action holsters with a 4.75 or 5.5 inch barrel, and a Schofield will not sit correctly in a Colt cut because the frame and latch are different. Measure the barrel length on the model page before ordering, and match it exactly.

Keep it out of direct sun and away from radiators: the standard finish fades unevenly in sunlight and heat dries the wood. A light coat of oil on a cloth, wiped over the metal twice a year, is enough. Store it in a cabinet or a presentation box rather than a foam case, because foam holds moisture against the metal.
