El Paso Saddlery

It is the most authentic replica you can get. The pattern was made from a genuine US Test Trial Rock Island Arsenal holster. The original holser was owned by an advanced collector, John Morgan, and it had some missing stitches. John took it to Bobby McNellis of El Paso Saddlery to have it hand re-stitched. While it was disassembled, Bobby made detailed patterns and it is from these patterns that the holster they sell is made.
