What Is a Western Loop Holster?

The western loop — also called a Mexican loop holster — is defined by a single piece of leather folded and stitched to create the holster body and belt loop in one. It's the iconic silhouette seen in Hollywood westerns from the 1920s through the 1970s, and remains the standard for SASS and cowboy action competition rigs today.
