Darn right !! wish i could sit down with her now even for a minute.

i just got this great idea!!! take the holster down to the gun store find a gun that fits it and buy it!

Very nice! That is alot o stitches!

shhhh someone will put them on the endangered list if they find out.

lay down a dark background color first then lay in your grass using different shades of the straw color.

Both are awesome.

pear shader is what some use. I use a small ball peen sometimes. you can use about anything with a rounded end.

use nf sparingly a little goes a long way then if its for outdoor use you can use the mink oil or any of the waterproofing concoctions, if not then any of the popular finishes. I use the fiebings golden mink oil on most of my outdoor stuff.

beautiful job I have an iver johnson trailsman its a clone to the colt.

If you have the tools you can make as straw stamp. Flatten a stainless bolt head and then cut some random lines with a small triangle file like the stamp on the left.

i misspoke a coup stick and a war club , the one with a big big rock, are different, A war club could be used to count coup as well as a spear , bow, stick or the hand. But the using only the coup stick in battle was the greatest deed.

I love the history! The native Americans carried a coup stick, most had a big rock on them. it was believed that touching a live opponent in battle was as great or greater feat than killing an opponent so they used the weapon to count coup .

it was actually taught to our office staff and councilors during the annual self defense training.

Chris one thing i learned working in a prison, bad people have brains and can use them fairly well and they don't usually let the victim determine the rules of the game. Face to face is more than likely going to be your only option. Funny thing i live in Wyoming it ranks at the top for states with the most guns per capita of any. I never carried until a few years ago, never felt the need. Now once in a great while i carry in town but always when traveling and always out in the sticks. Most folks here are the same as me. Most of what you folks see and hear on the news comes from the cities not the rural areas of the country. Now if i lived in the cities prolly a thumper and a shooter too and with my American bully at my side. We are truly being overrun, its a sad situation here. For you folks who work in an office , this works too!!!! just open it up and start swinging.

That is frightening! Canada has obviously started censoring a lot of news from the rest of the world.

i/he will do that it also looks like the crown is higher on the sides than the front, I think i can pattern it with heavy paper pretty easy.

Thanks Fred i didn't know that. In my neck of the woods we have cowboy hats and baseball caps lol I knew it wasn't one of them.

sure has been kept quiet on the news.

highly unlikely i think the original ones were probably big enough to get on over the pants and boot but I'm just not old enough or versed enough to know. The new ones have zippers so can be narrower and that stitch would be ornamental. Now you know your looking at shotgun chaps other types like bat wings are not made the same and have different methods to go around the leg.

Thanks Fred i have the tandy patterns i may have to use one of those and change it up a bit. This is what he wants
