Lever Action .45 Colt Leather Holster for Mare’s Leg & Rossi Lever Rifles

Built for Lever Action .45 Colt Firearms

This handcrafted leather holster is designed to carry lever action .45 Colt firearms securely and comfortably. The holster body is shaped to support the firearm naturally, while the adjustable belt and thigh straps are engineered to stabilize the holster on the body during movement. The straps are not used for gun retention — they are strictly for anchoring the holster to the belt and leg for balanced carry.

Tested Fit Across Popular .45 Colt Lever Actions

This holster has been physically tested with multiple .45 Colt lever action firearms at dealer tables and gun shows. Each firearm seated cleanly in the holster body without binding or forced pressure.

• Henry Big Boy (.45 Colt)
• Henry Mare’s Leg (.45 Colt)
• Uberti 1873 (.45 Colt)
• Winchester 1892 (.45 Colt)
• Rossi R92 (.45 Colt)

Firearm protection comes from the leather holster body itself. Strap adjustment is used only to secure the holster to the wearer’s belt and thigh for stability during carry.

FAQ

Do the straps hold the gun in place?

No. The firearm sits securely inside the leather holster body. The straps are used only to anchor the holster to your belt and thigh so it stays stable while walking or moving.

Will this holster fit different lever action brands?

Yes. This holster has been tested with multiple .45 Colt lever action platforms and fits cleanly across them.

Is this holster molded for one specific rifle?

The holster is shaped to support common .45 Colt lever action profiles rather than being a hard-molded, single-model scabbard. This allows compatibility across multiple platforms.

Is this suitable for field carry?

Yes. The belt and thigh strap system helps distribute weight and keeps the holster stable during movement.
