ShortBBL Report post Posted October 14, 2010 (edited) Beside the obvious (color), is there a difference in these guns for use in forming or pattern making for holsters? Also..... does anyone have a good sourse for these guns? Thanks! Edited October 14, 2010 by ShortBBL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also..... does anyone have a good sourse for these guns? Thanks! Best to stick with the Ring's Blue Guns. The ASP red guns are frequently not in spec for holster making. Just go direct with Rings to order. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billymac814 Report post Posted October 14, 2010 What about the orange ones that Galls sells? Anyone ever use those? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big O Report post Posted October 15, 2010 (edited) I read somewhere (I believe on this site) that the blue guns are very slightly undersized, and that the red guns are oversized. And I think the orange guns are from Blackhawk. I theoretically have an orange gray Blackhawk J-frame coming my way from Botach Tactical. Theoretically, that is, because the order is right there online for me to see, but its actual STATUS is, well, AWOL.....

Sorry to say though that if you ordered from Botach you may not live long enough to get the gun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCKNIVES Report post Posted October 15, 2010 Never heard of Galls, will have to check. The Aluminum ones are Duncan's (Duncan's ). If you order fro Botach, you can probably kiss your money goodbye, one of the worst out there.Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dickf Report post Posted October 15, 2010 I have only 1 red for molding purposes, and while dimensionally accurate, it's sloppy. I'd suggest to stick with the Blue Guns from Rings. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayban Report post Posted October 16, 2010 I ordered this one from a Ring's distributor. I had my choice of blue or black....I thought it was kinda cool to have a black one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShortBBL Report post Posted October 16, 2010 I ordered this one from a Ring's distributor. I had my choice of blue or black....I thought it was kinda cool to have a black one. I ordered a couple today... all Blue guns! 1911, 1911 Commander and LCP. I like that LCP pocket holster you made too.. nice and clean. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billymac814 Report post Posted October 16, 2010 How long does the order take to come in from Rings? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rayban Report post Posted October 16, 2010 How long does the order take to come in from Rings? I called in my order to the distributor (police outfitter) and they had it in in exactly one week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
