Dwight Report post Posted January 13, 2012 This is the first one like this that I have done, . . . uhhhh, . . . it was a challenge. It isn't the best one I ever did, . . . but it is the latest one, . . . just thought I'd share, . . . I haven't seen many of these done here. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markush Report post Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) It looks great! But I have to ask...how do you draw that thing while it's being worn? Edited January 13, 2012 by markush Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evandailey Report post Posted January 13, 2012 It looks great! But I have to ask...how do you draw that thing while it's being worn? I was wondering the same thing. Most of those Mare's Leg holsters are open on the front for at least 50% of the barrel length. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks for all the good feedback, . . . Actually it is for a customer, . . . and in the picture, it is not threaded into the drop on his belt. I just stuck the belt through it to get a picture. That is why it looks so high. The main challenge is he is less than 6 ft tall, . . . wants to wear and shoot this in cowboy action shooting, . . . getting it to set at the right height was the biggest challenge of all. Both the trigger side and the hammer side have an open slot that goes down about 5 inches or so. My fingers are still sore from sewing in the toe piece, . . . it is what keeps the whole thing from falling down through the bottom. I used my battery drill and a large darning needle to make the holes, . . . but it was still a job, . . . and I will definitely be cautioning my customer not to brag to his friends that he can get them one for the same price. I missed my guess on that one. And, . . . yep, . . . it is a real live .44Magnum, . . . so far never been shot, . . . . Anyway, . . . just thought I'd share, . . . it was fun, . . . not sure though that I want to go into the Mare's Leg business if you know what I mean.
