This video showcases 1791 Gunleather's modern replicas of classic US Military holsters, specifically the M1916 "US" embossed leather flap holster for the M1911 pistol and a "Tanker" style holster with an adjustable over-the-shoulder strap. The holsters are presented as high-quality, historically accurate reproductions made from thick leather, featuring practical elements like G.I. web belt hooks, duty belt slots, and thigh straps. The Tanker holster also includes an over-the-back retention strap and original-style snap system for security. The video highlights these holsters as ideal for collectors and those seeking practical, authentic gear for their classic firearms.
This video corrects a previous assertion about the No2 Revolver's design changes. The creator clarifies that the removal of the hammer spur and single-action capability was not due to tank crew issues with hatches, as was previously believed. Instead, documented evidence indicates the decision in 1938 was primarily for simplified handling and training, with minimal practical effectiveness loss. The video also discusses the origin of the misinformation, tracing it back to a historical publication and a Pattern Room curator, and highlights how even seemingly obvious clues (like an open-topped holster) can lead to incorrect conclusions without further investigation.
