The Slim Jim Holster and Gun Belt was also known as The California. In the early days of the west guns were usually carried in a pommel or saddlebag holster. But as revolver advancement were made and they became more manageable saddle makers designed a more accessible and efficient hip holster. The first true western style holster was the "California". These were slender in profile and had a deep form-fitting body with sewn in toe plugs to keep debris out and help secure the gun. The holster was mounted on a belt by a leather loop sewn on the back. The "California" was also known as the "Slim Jim". Most of these western holsters were embellished. Designs went from plain to heavy complex carving or stamping. The "California" was replaced in the 1870's with the advent of the cartridge for hand guns. Click here to read more about the History of Gun Leather and Slim Jim Gun Rigs.
