    I have pointed out at times and at some leather seminars I've done that if you look closely in clear copies of Perry Owens photo you can see lighter shaded areas across the holster body where the loops from the skirt have covered it. Russet skirting leather as it appears that one probably was made of will darken/age different where it is exposed to the sun, dirt, oil treatment, etc. and therefore it is lighter where the loops have covered the body of the holster.
    You are correct as that was a staged photo and they chose to take the holster apart and display in a manner to show off the cartridges and belt. His hand is carefully placed to hold and cover the holster skirt and leave the cartridges exposed for the photo.

    I got mine from idaho cowboy supply. It was about 80 bucks I think. Don't quote me on that. But it was definitely worth it. Hand made in Mexico, and holds the gun nice. I have never had it fall out because it has a small loop that goes over the hammer to help keep it in place when your not gonna use it any time soon.

    It is the ubiquitous gunbelt & holster that Hollywood made famous. It was all about the actors learning to draw fast and easy for that showdown in the street, or any standing gunfight. Because of their position on the leg and straight down angle, they are extremely easy to spin in & out of. I was honored to be in this episode!!

    I read that Wild Bill Hickok didn't use holsters, but carried two guns in some sort of sash. Such a rig would be interesting to see. Stetsons were well after Civil War, and many men wore bowler (derby) hats. Supposedly, cowboys wore silk scarves which could filter out dust, while the cotton bandanas were for farmers. (I'm new to your channel, and to AZ).

    • @ArizonaGhostriders

    As a 67 year old equestrian, and someone who regularly carries a pistol while riding, I have found crossdraw to be the best location.
    (1) I don't have 2pounds of iron on my right leg (that has to be swung over the horses back) and(2) It's easily accessible when needed. The only other place I have found to comfortably carry is to strap a WW Two flap holster on the "D" ring on the right side of my saddle. With the reins in my left hand, the handle of that Colt is exactly where my right hand falls naturally.

    My first quick-draw rig was a double Buscadero, complete with Peacemakers that had metal weights in the barrels for realisticalness. Back of the box had instructions for adjusting the belt for the waist, AND instructions on step-by-step for the quick draw. First thing it said was to practice TECHNIQUE first, then build up speed after you'd learned all the steps by heart.
    I still do that whenever I get a new pistol or a new holster. See? You can learn from playing with toys!

    Great video! I learned something new. I always thought that the Buscadero rig was the two holster rig instead of just one holster. Didn't realize that it could be one or two. I usually just use my traditional belt and loosen it so it will drop the holster down on my leg and then tie the holster around my leg. The left side of the belt is kept high on my hip. I can carry a cross draw on the high side or add another belt and do the same thing for the opposite side similar to the Lone Ranger from the 80s movie using his brother's gun rig on the opposite leg.

    What I mean is that I belive the name The Buscadero was used as a men who search for trouble, meaning that he is a bad mo fker if you know what I mean.
    The Buscadero for me as a Spanish speaking man means that he is an outlaw a man that would be like Jesse James, someone who is not afraid of trouble.

I literally wore the rig all day when I wasn't in school. I don't believe our dog ever forgave me for using him a s a "target"...
    Many years later, as a member of the RCMP, I wore a brown "Sam Brown" belt with a strong side, flap holster carrying a Smith model 10 revolver and a whopping 18 rounds of .38 special.
    We wore that rig until 1995 !

    This was a good video on this subject. And quite frankly, I used to wear a buscedero when in my US Marshall outfit, but I traded it out for a more historical accurate one. As I didn't like the way my pistols sat on my thighs. Standing or sitting.

      @@ArizonaGhostriders very cool. My father was one of the pioneers of the fast/quick draw beginnings back in the early 50's. They had a group in Grand Rapids Michigan called The Widowmakers, his name in the group was Rancid. He used to tell me about how they started with just primers, empty cases and parafin bullets they called waxies. It eventually evolved into shooting actual loaded rounds. The way they times the draw and shot was equally interesting and how that evolved.
      The prizes were bags of silver dollars. His rig was an Ojala. He used a Colt 2nd generation with 7.5" bbl. Nothing like the quick draw stuff of Bob Mundon.
      I used to have 8mm video of him shooting. They would slow the camera speed down and study it.
      They travelled around Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois area, sometimes doing demonstrations in highschool gymnasiums. Can you imagine that these days.
      He said they broke triggers on those Colt's all the time. His cousin worked at GM as a machinist and dad had him build a device with pins on it so they could time the guns, without it they had to put the gun back together test and repeat, with that device they could time without assembly and disassembly.
      Anyway, great video. Thank you.

    I met a cop in Los Angeles who wore a pretty cool "modern tactical Buscadero". It was old west styled leather design for the belt and holster, and the drop loop slid on his belt, and it had a tie down on the thigh (a proper belt with adjustable latch), so he could put it in front of his thigh while sitting in a patrol car to make the gun more accessible and comfortable, and he could run with it. Made perfect sense. I want one.

    According to Wikipedia, "buscadero" originally referred to lawmen who searched for bad guys, but it later applied also to the bad guys for whom the lawmen searched. Then again, consulting Wikipedia may spell the difference between being uninformed and being misinformed.

    To be a bit nitpicky, a "man who searchers" would be a "buscador".

    Another reason for the tie-down, aside from preventing the holster from flopping around, is to prevent it from sticking to the gun, and being pulled up with it, as you draw.
    About the gun "bouncing around", and possibly falling out of the holster; well, that's what hammer loops are for, isn't it?
