For several years we lumped every holster/ammo pouch combo under the “Field & Stream” moniker. The Field & Stream is meant as an outdoorsman’s holster mag pouch combo. placing the spare mag for a .22 auto on the strong/ wrong side for a speedy tactical reload, but handy for carry in the field.
I started experimenting with offside carry for a second gun. a pair of 1911 Commanders and a spare magazine is a common way for me to carry. I started experimenting with 2″ Js and 2″ K frames, particularly the airweight Model 12. with a spare auto mag in front week/left side. It’s is SUPERB! I started carrying a pair of K frames and a quick strip in the magazine pouch, this worked well. the natural progression was to a strip and then a speed loader on the strong side for a proper fast revolver reload.
The Boomer- Leather Concealment Holster – FOR SMALL FRAMED REVOLVERS
Pancake, leather concealment holster, designed to carry a compact revolver and a reload either a round speed loader or a Quick Strip. (see drop down list for “Gun Model”). It is not for large frame revolvers. If you don’t see you revolver in the drop down menu, it’s probably a medium or large frame revolver. That will be in the Sourdough Pancake menu.

The progression of the Field & Stream to the Boomer they are alternatives for folks that carry more than one pistol.
