Masterson Single Action Holster – Classic Cross Draw Holster. Simple, elegant and functional.

Bat Masterson circa 1886.

Canadian Bat Masterson was one of the most feared and respected “Shooters” of the Old West. His skill with a hand gun was such that everyone kept theirs holstered with Masterson around.

Bat Masterson

In his early twenties Masterson was serving as an army scout, out of Sweetwater, Texas, when he got in a fight over a dance hall girl. His adversary was killed with a bullet thru the heart, the luckless girl died as well, and Masterson was badly wounded in the pelivis; which caused him to limp thereafter.

He took to using a large silver knobbed cane to assist his stride, and when he took up his trade of being a Peace Officer, the cane was often used on an unruly cowboy’s head. In recognition of the new sport of Baseball, he was nicknamed Bat; because of his “batting” of skulls with his walking stick.

Friend to Luke Short, Charley Bassett, the Earp’s, and Doc Holliday, Bat was often seen in his later years, at boxing matches in the New York area as a sportswriter for the New York Morning Telegraph.

Dear Longfellow

The Holsters arrived today just in time for Christmas, Lorrie is thrilled with the (masterson hand made leather) holster and its craftsmanship. She said you went way over the top on what she was expecting and that now she just might have to wear it on stage with her firearm. She wanted me to tell you a special thanks and that she will proudly wear the holster and tell anyone that asked where to order theirs.

Thank you so much and I am sure she and Randy her husband will be the best looking couple in Country Music with their custom THE LAST BEST WEST holsters on their hips.

I am looking forward to getting my hat and with winter upon us it will come in very handy. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and thank you so much for the wonderful product.

Warmest Regards Tony Conway President & CEO Ontourage Management

Nice words from nice people! Country music star, Lorrie Morgan, came by our booth in Nashville, and was admiring our Masterson Single Action Holster and gunbelt. We ended up making her husband a rig as well.

Correct Gun Belt or Pants Belt Measurement

If you want to keep it simple your belt size is
almost always about 4 inches larger than your jean size.
Ex: If you wear a size 40 jean you would order a 44 inch belt.

correct gunbelt measurement

Getting the correct gun belt measurement is easy if you follow some simple steps.

Put on a pair of britches/pants you plan to wear with your gun belt
Have handy any belt that currently fits you. You can even use a piece of string.
Put the belt on and buckle it where you will wear your gun belt Slightly down over your hips in most cases. Remember the gun belt will be supporting another 4 pounds per pistol and holster {about 3 lbs for the pistol; 1 lb for the holster} That weight will drag the belt down. You may want to go another notch tighter in your measuring.
Make note of the most comfortable hole in which the buckle goes through.
Lay the belt on a flat surface and measure from the end of the buckle to the most comfortable hole. See picture below.
Distance from the buckle end to the centre hole of your belt will be the measurement you supply us with. This is now your gun-belt size.
Generally this measurement should be about 3 to 4 inches larger than your jean size.
