45/70+45 Long Colt or 44/40 Leather Ammo Belt.

Post by rangerider7 »

This looks like a handy cartridge belt for a guy that has a 45-70 and likes to carry a 45/44-40 Colt SAA with it. I have one and it is great for me when I hog hunt. It is not mine, I just know you don't find these to often.

This is mine.

I also use it with my 33WCF and 38-40.

Nice belt, RR7. I've been thinking of getting one that will hold 10 rds of 45 Colt and about 5-10 rounds of 45/70-45/90.

Here is the photo of the belt. It is made by Classic Old West Styles of El Paso, Texas. They are easy to google. :D

I like the dual cartridge belt idea as well. I had the one in the photo below made up by Ron Reed in Cody. It has 20 loops for the .45-70 or .45-60 and 10 loops for the 45 Schofield, 44 Russian, 44-40. I don't have a good photo of it, but you can see the two different cartridge loops below containing 44 Russian and .45-70.

Ohh I like. :mrgreen: I may have to look into that. It would go great with my roller and my Vaquero.

I've got some COWS stovepipes. Looked at their holsters and belts years ago and for some reason haven't looked recently.

KirkD, I understand what your doing but I sure like the looks and wear of that old S&W. I bet it feels great in your right hand as well as when you rub it with your left. :D

price is pretty reasonable so far.
careful what you wish for, you might just get it.
