It was a butts-forward cross-draw shoulder holster to hold his two .45s. Most of us know guns better than holsters, but I'll try to research the make (since it's a Michael Mann film, surely he's wearing the same type the real Dillinger would have worn).

I wonder did Dillenger really drew his 1911s akimbo like John Woo...before John Woo.

I watched one of John Woo's film, with his audio commentary. I think it was MI-2. He said he took using two guns from Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. There are tons of other westerns that probably do it too. The Outlaw Josey Wales & True Grit come to mind. Nobody watches westerns anymore.

I know, it's sad. You can see I've done a lot of westerns for IMFDb though, so at least I do. How many other sixteen-year-olds watch westerns? Very few... Only a few wise ones have ever seen The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, but that's it.

I grew up on John Wayne (from my grandpa's fan base) and Clint Eastwood (from my fan base), so I own lots of good westerns.

Ah yes one of my favorite Clint Eastwood films, the Good bad and the Ugly
