John Wayne Replica Pistol-Holster Frame Set
About the John Wayne Replica Pistol-Holster Frame Set
The John Wayne Replica Pistol-Holster Frame Set copies the proportions of the original piece: the same length, the same grip angle and the same weight in the hand. The frame is cast in zinc aluminium, hand fitted and finished in standard, and the grips follow the original screw pattern so they can be replaced with a period set if you want a different look.
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.
Handle it the way you would the real thing: muzzle away from people, and in a case when you are in public. Wipe the metal with a dry cloth after handling, because fingerprints are acidic and will mark a standard surface within weeks. Do not polish the finish, which is a thin surface treatment and comes off long before the tarnish does.
