    I made one of these for a 6in 44mag over a year ago for a young man that is a timber cruiser up here the Olympic national forest.  He carries this gun almost daily for 8 to 10 hrs a day. He's come back for several axe sheaths, slings, other holsters,etc and always brings this one so I can see it. The plastic buckle has held up fine. It's not holding up the pistol, it's holding it close to the chest. See my post "one year later". 

    Exactly. I don't foresee the buckle being a problem. Its not under any real tension and I have other items that use similar buckles and they have worked fine for many years. Easy and cheap to replace if something does happen though.

    That is outstanding. Simple and rugged. If you don’t mind show the back sometime to see how the straps connect. Also, are the quick disconnects on the right side available in metal? A friend wants me to replace some plastic ones that keep breaking. 

    I wan one for my 10 inch barrel Blackhawk but I don’t have enough chest. 

    Sorry for the poor quality of this photo but here is the back.

    There may be metal attachments available. I would think there is. I have not used them if they are though.

    Very nice J! Glad it worked out. I've thought about rivets myself. Just ended up liking the movement you get with Chicago screws.  But, as you say, not final. You can always drill them out. I like what you did with the shoulder strap as well. I have gone to a different take on that as well.

    I can still move my tabs even though they have the rivets. I was afraid they would get to tight but I made sure to not tighten them down all the way so that the straps can still move.

    Thank you.  I enjoy shooting cap and ball as well as the other stuff.

    Good job . . .  I keep telling myself I need one of those pistols . . .  and so far I keep losing the argument.

    Gonna be in the right place one day . . . and the price is gonna be right . . .  and it'll come home with me

    Then I'll look back at this again and check out the holster . . . 

    May God bless,

    Dwight

    Thanks. Hope you win that argument one day. Everyone needs a 51 Navy.

    Nicely done, simple and elegant.:specool:

    Dwight, yes, you definitely need a '51 Navy!;) I didn't need one but bought one anyway, there's just something about the '51 that's "right".

    Everyone needs one for sure.
