Holster Collectors

Does anyone out there collect old holsters?. I Collect old police type revolver holsters like Don Hume Jordans and Bianchi breakfronts and was just wondering if anyone else had the habit

You would think that I do from my holster box.

But it was purely unintentional I assure you.

I have well over 100 both functional ones I use and models that aren't available anymore. It's amazing what you can find if you start looking and besides it's fun.

I don't think they'll be as much in demand as the rare "Dennis J. Kucinich08...legend in my own mind" sleeping mask's.

Aren't we all holster collectors after a while?

I didn't start out to collect the darn things but I found some fantistic finds on ebay. Since wheel guns went out of style the holsters can be found cheap I got one Don Hume Basket stamped River Belt and Jordan holster rig for $28.00 and got a plain Jordan holster in very good shape for $2.05! and a Bianchi basket stamped 1911 holster for 30.00 I finally had to tell my wife to kick me in the A--if she saw me looking at holsters on ebay again. But all kidding aside it is fun to look for bargans and a good excuse to go out and look for a gun to fit a holster you got cheap

I don't collect them. I accumulate them, and I've had a lot of years in which to do it. Of course, a used holster has very little value, so unlike a gun, when you put your money down for a holster, it is GONE. Therefore, it hurts me to look at my boxes of holsters and realize those boxes represent about ten grand down the drain. I have maybe half a dozen holsters that are used often. The rest of them just gather mold. Consequently, I long ago decided that the right holster is cheap even if it seems pricy. It is the wrong holster that is expensive.
