JRCHolsters

Sure, always room for more mags Yes, it is a line 24 snap. The way the leather is molded around the back of the slide, the snap never touches the slide. Because of the shape of the molded strap, the leather and snap, push away from the slide as the gun is drawn.

Lol, It's more of a weight distribution thing.

I normally don't make shoulder rigs, but I had a request from someone I couldn't bring myself to say no to. I went with Horsehide as always and decided on a pull through, horizontal design. The magazine pouch sits horizontally and uses rubber bushings and chicago screws to adjust tension on the mags. I used 5oz suede for a nice soft harness that drapes nicely and flows with body movement. The harness has about 8in of adjustment in the shoulders. I played around with a bunch of different adjustment straps and in the end went with flat 1in nylon webbing. This made for a nice low profile adjustment on the straps. I am wearing it in the photos, so it is not really adjusted for me. The fella I made it for is pretty buff, so I wanted to be sure it had plenty of adjustment for him. Hope you like it and would be interested in any feedback.

Thanks Big O. I have always been drawn to the way Horsehide takes dye. It always reminds me of old fancy leather furniture.

Thanks Mike. I have always liked the way Horsehide looks. I typically use Burgundy before I mold the gun, then give it a coat of Cordovan afterwards. It gives it a great appearance and I can control the amounts of red based on what the customer wants. I think you will like working with it.

Thanks Wareagle, I appreciate it !

The first holster is the SOB-5. It is actually worn at 5 o'clock (7 in this case, as it's a lefty) Not over the spine. When i mold this, the butt of the gun is torqued inwards, so it doesn't protrude. This is for a Springfield Centurion, which is why the blue gun protrudes a bit. The last is the BS-SSC. It is left handed version of a cross draw rig, designed to be worn at 5 o'clock also. This one hides a revolver really well. Both are Horsehide with burgundy and cordovan finishes. All hand sewn. I know a lot of folks bemoan this style of carry, but the customers like them and it takes no more practice than other modes of carry to draw from properly.

The color variations are one of my favorite aspects of working with horsehide. I think it gives it a really old world look.

Thanks! I usually offer a straight trimmed belt, but I thought I'd do something a little fancier, yet still elegant and simple.

LOL, I know what you mean. Ha, I wish I was a little thinner.
