The Colt Model 1848 Percussion Army Revolver is a .44 caliber revolver designed by Samuel Colt for the U.S. Army’s Regiment of Mounted Rifles. The revolver was also issued to the Army’s “Dragoon” Regiments. This revolver was designed as a solution to numerous problems encountered with the Colt Walker. Although it was introduced after the Mexican–American War, it became popular among civilians during the 1850s and 1860s, and was also used during the American Civil War.
One of the earliest holster patterns, the California Slim Jim came about during the California gold rush of the late 1850’s. Throughout the mid-late 1800’s the pattern changed very little, remaining with a slim, gun contouring fit with an attached belt loop.
Made for the Colt Dragoon
Fits revolvers with barrels 7 1/2″ long.

![Colt Walker Holster - Border Grooved [SL-1006]](https://www.swedesleatherworks.com/wp-content/uploads/DSCN5311-800x-min-300x300.jpg)

The Colt Walker was created in the mid-1840s in a collaboration between Texas Ranger Captain Samuel Hamilton Walker (1817–1847) and American firearms inventor Samuel Colt (1814–62), building upon the earlier Colt Paterson design. Walker wanted a handgun that was extremely powerful at close range.
The Colt Walker holds a powder charge of 60 grains (3.9 g) in each chamber, more than twice what a typical black powder revolver holds. It weighs 4+1⁄2 pounds (2 kg) unloaded, has a 9-inch (230 mm) barrel, and fires a .44 caliber (0.454 in (11.5 mm) diameter) conical and round ball.
In the 1968 book True Grit, 14-year-old Mattie carries a Colt Dragoon. However, possibly due to the Walker’s bigger size, a cartridge-converted Colt Walker was used as Mattie’s weapon in the 1969 film based on the book, though Wayne’s character referred to it as a Colt Dragoon nonetheless. In the 2010 remake of the film by the Coen Brothers, she carries a Dragoon, as originally described in the book.
This holster is made from 8-9oz vegetable tanned leather. This is important because vegetable tanned leather will not tarnish your firearm as other methods of tanned leather are prone to do.
Made for Colt Walker Revolvers
Fits barrels of 9 inch.

![Cowboy Action Cartridge Loading Strips [SL-2473]](https://www.swedesleatherworks.com/wp-content/uploads/DSCN7336-300x300.jpg)

For the Cowboy Action Shooter
Loading strips, also known as cartridge strips or ammo strips, are handy tools for quickly reloading firearms, particularly in disciplines like cowboy action shooting where speed, efficiency and safety are crucial. My strips typically hold ten rounds of ammunition in a row, allowing shooters to easily grab cartridges and reload their firearms without fumbling with loose rounds.
These custom hand-made leather cartridge strips hold 10 rounds of 38/357 or 44/45 cal [your choice]; are hand tooled and sewn with cream thread and dyed a color of your choice.
You will see a bunch of these at Cowboy Action Shooting matches. It holds ten cartridges to reload two revolvers.
This is a great way to carry the correct amount of ammo to the loading table, as well as a great solution freeing up both hands to carry a rifle and shotgun.
Speedloading strips are indispensable tools for Cowboy Action Shooting enthusiasts, streamlining reloads with efficiency and style. My cartridge strips are crafted from durable 7-8 oz vegitable tanned leather and securely hold ammunition cartridges in a convenient layout. Their compact design allows for easy carrying on a gun belt, ensuring easy and safe access during competition.
