Cool Holster

[Panzerschwein]

Got a cool holster in for my Webley Mk IV:

This is a British "tanker" style holster for the Enfield No 2 and Webley Mk IV .38/200 caliber service revolvers of the WW2 era. Originally made for tank and vehicle crew but also was used by dismounted forces. This holster is not easy to find anymore nor is it inexpensive but I got a decent deal on one off of ebay. This example was made in Canada and is super cool. As you can see it has six belt loops for carrying extra cartridges, a slot for a cleaning rod, and is a drop style holster. The gun is secured with a snap strap and is easy to draw. I love it! The cleaning rod you see is actually a Makarov PM cleaning rod. I have an original and proper British cleaning rod coming in the mail from Wales.

I plan to do a thorough range review on the Webley Mk IV in the coming weeks so look forward to that.

Take care all!

Great looking holster! When my brother went to Alaska years ago he took along his Ruger Redhawk with a 5.5" barrel. Only problem was he didn't have time to find a holster for it. As it turned out I came across a British canvas flap holster for a Webley Mk. VI that was a perfect fit and provided great protection for the gun while he carried it.

Awesome! I'll have to say, this tanker holster was built VERY sturdily. THICK canvas and lots of stitching, no surprise this thing has lasted for so many decades in very good condition. I can't wait to get my cleaning rod from Wales, and some more .38 S&W ammo to shoot through this Mk IV!
