Russian M1895 Nagant Revolver Holster

Nagant Revolver Holster

This is a Russian Army leather holster cut for the M1895 Nagant revolver, the seven-shot service sidearm carried by Russian and Soviet forces for decades. It is a full-flap design, meaning a large cover folds over the entire revolver, grip included, and fastens shut to keep dust and rain off the gun. Nagant owners use it to carry or store their revolver in its correct issue holster, and collectors and reenactors buy it to complete an authentic set.

Features

• Sized For The M1895 Nagant — The body follows the revolver's outline, with a long tapered barrel section and a wide top that takes the cylinder and frame.
• Brown Pebble-Grain Leather — The outer surface has a fine raised texture that resists scuffing better than smooth leather and holds its shape.
• Full Covering Flap — A rounded flap closes over the whole revolver and is edged with a stitched leather binding.
• Brass Stud Closure — A leather tab on the flap slips over a brass stud on the body, so the holster opens with one pull and stays shut on the move.
• Spare Cartridge Pouch — A small leather pocket on the front of the body, under the flap, has its own tab and brass stud for carrying loose rounds.
• Fabric-Lined Flap — The underside of the flap is backed with black fabric, which stiffens the cover and protects the finish of the revolver.
• Twin Rear Belt Loops — Two stitched leather loops on the back let the holster ride on a service or trouser belt, with a third short strap below them.
• Original Ink Markings — A Cyrillic inspection stamp is printed inside the flap lining, the kind of factory mark collectors look for on issue gear.

Original Russian Issue

This holster was made for Russian military service, not for the commercial market, and it carries the stitching, brass hardware and stamped markings of a government contract item. The pattern is the traditional Nagant flap holster, built from pebble-grain leather with bound edges and a fabric-backed flap. For anyone who owns an M1895, it is the period-correct way to carry or display the revolver.
