The entire rig was just one more way to carry additional bullets in a dangerous land. It seems that the holster could be unlaced and removed from the belt slide and worn on the belt without it. The width of the slide appears to fit a normal 1 3/4″ military belt. There appears to be a folded belt slide with ten 3/4″ cartridge loops and a horizontal Buscadero slot that the holster belt loop goes through.
