Shotgun scabbards for horseback?
Hope this is the right place to post this!
I have seen shotguns carried (on Horseback) across the pommel but have never seen anyone shove a shotgun into a regular rifle scabbard. Is is not Kosher to do so? I am sure that there were horsemen who favored the Peppergun and would use one in liew of a rifle so shy don't you see a shotgun scabbard in Movies and documenteries> Even CAS shooters don't carry shotguns on Horseback, it's always a rifle.] I figgure a horseman outfitted with a big bore revolver and a scattergun loaded with buckshot could defend himself pretty well within 100 yards...

Rifle and shotgun scabbards are dimensionally different, most rifles may work in a shotgun scabbard but not often do shotguns fit rifle scabbard.
I've used a couple different ones for shotgun....like the cordura models best. |

I have the book Packing Iron and it suggests an across the pommel carry for the shotgun.
I suppose there weren't many who carried the shotgun as a primary weqapon like a rifle. It was more of a backup perhaps? Nevertheless, I remove my question as litle historical info is available. I like he idea of a Pump in modern daay cordura tho! BPDave |
