KRAG RIFLE BELTS AND COLT HOLSTER
Posted: Fri Nov 04, 2022 10:21 am
I was planning on getting a belt & colt gun holster for my Krag rifle. Wanted to know if anyone has any experience with it. Thank you for the input!

What model or type of Colt do you need a holster for?
In the Krag era, the Infantry 'rank and file' usually did not carry handguns. The Krag ammo was carried in canvas Mills belts, (50 & 100 round versions), and in disposable cloth bandoleers.
Officers, Cavalry Troopers, and Artillerymen were more likely to be issued handguns. The Regulation Holsters, that I'm aware of, normally fit on a relatively narrow leather waist-belt.
Studying period photos may give an idea of the "look" you want to achieve.
S&S Firearms and 'What Price Glory' are a couple of internet vendors who carry good quality reproduction Mills Belt items.
