Another question about the button on the holster.

Post by Fedora_Smith »

Hi,

I've a doubt; when I made my Raiders holster, I placed the closing button under the flap, this is, at the holster itself passing trough the flap and finally fastening on the strap. But I recently seen pictures of a holster which had the button seized directly to the flap. I thought this was less safe to keep the gun into, but analyzing some sequences on Raiders, I believe to see (not clearly) that this is the correct way. Indy keep his holster open the major part of time (due he is a man ready for the action :wink: ) and seems that the pin is on the flap not under; so my question is, is that possible?

The button on my Lee Keppler holster is on the flap. I'm pretty sure that's how it was in Raiders. Hope that helps somewhat.

Indy's holster was designed to resemble actual British Webley holsters, which did have the button on top of the flap.
