Flintlock Pistol Leather Frog "Blackbeard" - Outlet

Flintlock Pistol Leather Frog "Blackbeard" – Belt Holster with Rivets

Detailed Description

This accessory is designed as a "frog"—a holster that loops directly onto your belt. This ensures the pistol sits firmly at your hip, offering a more stable carry than thigh-strapped holsters. It is shaped to accommodate most standard replicas of historical flintlock and percussion pistols. Over time, the high-quality leather will mould to the specific shape of your weapon, providing a custom fit.

The availability of both left and right-hand orientations is a key feature. It allows you to dual-wield pistols (a common pirate tactic, as reloading in battle was nearly impossible) or simply caters to left-handed adventurers. The rivets are not merely decorative; they reinforce the structure, ensuring longevity.

Historical Context: Carrying Arms at Sea

During the Golden Age of Piracy, there were few regulations on how weapons were carried. While many sailors simply tucked pistols into a sash, leather frogs were a practical choice for those who wanted better retention and protection for their firearms. Officers and cavalrymen on land favoured leather holsters to protect the delicate lock mechanism. Using a dedicated frog also minimized the risk of accidental discharge—or losing your pistol overboard during a storm.

Care Instructions

To ensure your leather gear lasts for years of adventures:

• Moisture Control: Keep away from excessive moisture. If it gets wet, let it dry naturally at room temperature. Never use direct heat like a radiator or fire, as this can crack the leather.
• Cleaning: Wipe away dirt with a damp cloth and mild soapy water if necessary.
• Conditioning: Regularly treat with a leather balm or wax to maintain flexibility and the leather's natural lustre.
