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!!

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!

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.

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).

What an enjoyable and informative video. I lovingly remember one Christmas when I was about 6 years old and one of my gifts was a set of nickled cap guns and a "buscadero rig". 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 !

@ericruss4189 2 года назад

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.

@ArizonaGhostriders 2 года назад

Yeah, the strong side buscadero is the one I grew up on.

I learned the hard way that not tying down your holster makes it flop all over when riding horseback. I always wondered how tying it down made the draw faster, as it never seemed to make a difference for me. While horseback, I always wore my holster on my belt before I owned a buscadero rig, and it never got in the way or flopped around. But that first time I got on horseback with my buscadero belt on, I learned that tying it down was a must.

Several years ago I did a lot of research on the use of handguns in the USA for the period 1820 to 1870 and found that very few people actually bought and carried handguns unless they were involved in certain types of work like law enforcement, security guard, and bandits. Most of the general public who did have a handgun usually had it as a 'saddle' gun with the holster on their saddle for use while in horseback. Also, the most common type of holster arrangement by those who wore a handgun at all times was either a shoulder holster or a crossdraw style. I was very surprised about what I learned at the time, thank you Hollywood. My research was very period specific to suit a story I was writing at the time. However, it's very likely things were very different in the period after 1870 as they changed a lot from 1865 to 1870 and I would expect that more change occurred after that.

@ArizonaGhostriders 2 года назад

Many carried in a coat pocket. Some towns were not fond of firearms and in order to keep yourself protected (and your belongings), you had a handgun stashed on your person. Much like today.

@ernestbywater411 2 года назад

@@ArizonaGhostriders Yes, my research showed a lot of the richer people carried smaller guns in their pockets, thus the term 'pocket gun.' Another oddity I found is that the official records show only one bank robbery occurring during the entire 19th century. However, that makes sense when you find out that the official records only count the robbery of a bank recognised by the federal government, of which there was only a few and all were major banks in the big cities. They did not recognise or count the thousands of local town banks at all. Also, there were periods when no banks were recognised by the government at all, either.

The reason that style gun-wearing is so common in Hollywood is that it’s good for quick-draw duels, which are in practically every Western movie or TV show, but almost never happened in the real world.

@ArizonaGhostriders 2 года назад

There were many instances where two people engaged in gunplay and getting the gun out the quickest was the likely first step. Accurate shooting was most important. John Wesley Hardin used to practice drawing as fast as possible (eyewitness account), Interestingly, they really didn't need buscadero rigs back then.

@censusgary 2 года назад

@@ArizonaGhostriders Yes, there were many cases where people shot at each other- often with rifles or shotguns, but also sometimes with handguns. I just don’t think there were many movie-style face-offs where two men lined up facing each other and raced to draw and fire the fastest. And certainly, hitting the target was the main thing. As you know, John Wesley Hardin used to put two pistols crosswise in his two holsters, so that he drew the left one with his right hand and the right one (at the same time) with his left hand. He claimed guns could be drawn faster that way. But even he shot most of his victims when they were unarmed (and, in the most notorious case, asleep), or at least not in the act of aiming at him. Although it must have been different for famous gunfighters, most people in the old West were not good shots with a pistol. That’s no surprise, given that they didn’t really engage in many gun battles (again, unless they were gangsters or certain lawmen), and given that a round of ammunition could cost as much as a ranch hand or laborer’s daily wage, so target practice was expensive.

@ArizonaGhostriders 2 года назад

@@censusgary A round of ammunition was about 2 cents, and hard laborers were making much more than that per day! Also, many folks used percussion firearms as their ammo ingredients were readily available in most gunshops or mercantiles (and had been since the late 1840s). Gun powder was about 22 cents per pound, which makes it a cheaper option than cartridge in the long run. Not sure where you got the information for "most people in the old West were not good shots with a pistol." You have a source for that?

@censusgary 2 года назад

@@ArizonaGhostriders I had sources for both the price of cartridges and the fact that most people didn’t use firearms often, but it’s been decades since I read them. It will take me a while to find them again.

Even though the Buscadero is part of 20th century Hollywood, it has become as much a part of American Western culture as Tom Mix, or John Wayne and serves as a sign that the Old West is Alive and Well in the Hearts and Minds of Hearty Souls. Great video Santee.

Funny thing is, I don't think The Duke ever WORE a buscadero rig. As I recall, his holster was always high on his belt, tucked just behind his right hip!

@Paladin1873 2 года назад

I've owned two Buscadero rigs, a Bianchi I bought in the 1970s and a custom rig I had made by Arvo Ojalo. I still have the massive Ojala setup, which is very fast because the steel shanked holster behaves more like a loose cup holder. There is no retention of the firearm. A cowboy action shooting friend later made me a period looking snug-fitting holster which I put on a matching brown leather belt that I have since given to my daughter.

Another great episode Santee! And since you brought up Commodore Perry Owens, an episode on him and the Pleasant Valley War would be a cool episode to do. Heck, I think that should be an entire TV show. Still working on researching investing in the old west when I get some time. Lots of terms used in the industry today originate from that time period, which is pretty cool.

@randalldunkley1042 2 года назад

There are some great scenes in San Antonio with Errol Flynn wearing correct leather. Very high trousers waistbands were normal and the holster very high. I just gave away a box of studio revolver rigs of this type. None were even close to correct.

@ArizonaGhostriders 2 года назад

That's still really neat that you had those rigs.

Now that makes the Chapel Shootout scene in For A Few Dollars More even more unscrupulous, he was wearing his Buscadero Rig round his neck while the other guy had to "search" for his pistol. One of my favourite duels out of any western, the camera close-ups and Ennio Morricone's score, a masterpiece! Thanks for the video.

Great episode, Santee, but you made my buzzer go off. Matt Dillon wasn't the county sheriff, he was the town marshal. In fact, he was the town marshal of Dodge City, back in the late 50s, at the same time Wyatt Earp (Hugh O'Brien) was the town marshal of Dodge City, on another network! And I always get a kick when somebody is shot, and they roll around and such. Wyatt Earp (in real life) said that when you get shot, you drop. -Desert Rat Rick

I think everybody’'s first holsterrig is a buscadero rig. In Belgium they sell only buscadero rigs in most Western Shops (but they don’'t exist anymore). Only the shop where i go, he makes historic correct ones. But indeed they are most common by the general public.

@ArizonaGhostriders 2 года назад

Santee the Buscadero can mean what you had said or it can mean the Finder or searcher and myself being Spanish the Finder makes more sense as it would be easier to draw which means you quickly found your gun to shoot. Great video as always Keep up the great work.

@danielsprouls9458 Год назад

One of the Hollywood movie interpretations was to have every cowboy on a ranch wear a holstered colt revolver. When in actuality it was considered a bit suicidal to be carrying a revolver with an exposed hammer and be working cattle. If a cowboy owned such a weapon it was kept in a saddle bag during work hours. A rifle of some sort was generally the more useful option.
