Holster ID help

[Airgunner II]

Need help trying to figure out what this is for.
Handmade
OWB
Sans snap
Forward can't
Quite large
The outline reminds me of a '97 Winchester pump, but how can that be?

It looks like a WML Surefire x300. Not sure about the pistol though. Almost looks like a long slide Glock or something with a comp.

I did notice an impression on the top, where the slide would be. If I measure the forward most part of it (ejection port?) it's 6", which is a common size.

Roland Special

Roland the Thompson gunner?

Not David Lindell (or Warren Zevon) it was from Chuck Pressburg.

The Roland Special Glock 19 - Guns and Ammo

A very specific pistol is gaining popularity across the Internet and is being referred to as the "Roland Special," or the "Gunslinger Special."

BTW.....The holster is unsigned, which is a lesson to anybody, always sign/date your work (legacy).

I was kinda hoping the "artist" would come forward.

Roland the Thompson gunner?

You mean, Roland the headless Thompson gunner!

It looks like a holster for a single action revolver, but with a heck of an ejector rod housing. Maybe for a small cap and ball revolver?

That was my original thought as well, 1851 BP Snub, til I saw how massive it is.

Y'all are all wrong....


Crossman CO2 powered pellet gun.







Canadian legal!

Roland was a warrior
From the land of the midnight sun
With a Thompson gun for hire
Fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark
One dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra
To join the bloody fray

THAT Roland?

This is a small of back (SOB) holster, isn't it?

It looks pretty old, I wouldn't want to try to figure out anything of newish design that would fit.

Not enough angle.

Absolutely.

It looks just like a Browning SOB holster that I have. In fact, you guys ID'd it for me. And I'm getting old and gray waiting for one of our dear members here to pay for it following sale.

This holster here, if worn as a RH OWB, the angle is way off for comfortable reach. And dangerously low for retention. Slanted too far forward. Impossible for LH. The only thing it makes sense for is SOB, where the low angle is still reachable with your right hand. A long reach, to be sure. Correct me if I'm wrong.

They look nothing a like, note the position of the belt loops… the one in the OP has the loops on either side of the pistol, which is indicative of a OWB pancake style holster while the one you posted has a loop on the bottom side and at the mouth of the holster which trait of an SOB holster. Drawing a line connecting the top of the loops will indicate the position of the top of the belt on the waist line and illustrate the angle of the gun.
On a side note, SOB is the worst place on a belt the carry a pistol and I always discourage its use.

I mean they're both brown…..

SOB is good for getting your gun stolen or breaking your back.
