Kathi Hofer: Neorealismo

Opening 06.05.2017, 11am - 2pm

Mike: The Hollywood era of the movies is actually the one that started the ?Buscadero? holsters which is, like, this holster here.
Kathi: Oh!
Brent: The ?drop holster.?
Kathi: What?s so special about it?
Brent: Well, it hooks on to the bottom so that the firearm is right by my hand. It?s for quick draw.
Lobo: They wore those in the 20th century, actually. But these here were, like, pretty much all over the West from the 1870s to the 1880s.
Mike: A lot of times in the Old West cowboys didn?t have holsters. Many of them couldn?t afford it. So, you would see a gun stuck in a guy?s, you know?
Renee: Pants!
Mike: And by that you could tell that he really wasn?t an outlaw, he was usually a ranch hand out in the woods where he wasn?t making any money. But he had to have a gun out there to kill rattle snakes or bears, or whatever came by. But that?s the difference between the two holsters: This is more, let?s just say –
Renee: Period correct!
Mike: Yeah, period correct. I don?t wanna say it?s better or anything. It?s just period correct; whereas this came in with the movies. And it came in 19?. I think they came in in about the early 1900s.
Brent: I?ve got both styles.
