Members Hags Posted June 9, 2022 Members Report Posted June 9, 2022 I seem to attract large pistols. This young man bought this as a backup gun for a Montana hunting trip. I stressed that this will not be a "quick draw" holster. But, it will still be with him when he gets to the top of whatever tree he manages to climb. I have found that barrels this long, with prominent front sights, have a very distinct draw and re-holster. He loves it. I'm happy, and he wants a gun belt, and now a drop leg for this one. I also made a 6 rd loop slider for the left side of the chest strap. Have to study on drop legs now. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.

Most of these I have seen are on the shoulder strap (so they sit on the chest). But those rigs have a narrower strap. I like the wider strap you used on the shoulder piece, but wonder if the cartridges will rub on the arm when walking, especially if the rig is worn outside of jackets, etc. What are your thoughts?

Members Hags Posted June 9, 2022 Author Members Report Posted June 9, 2022 I've done a couple like this now. Feedback has been positive. Putting anything on the shoulder strap can interfere with back pack straps so I quit putting them there. These cartridge holders slide off or around if needed. I use one of these rigs for my speed 6 and dont have an issue. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.
CFM chuck123wapati Posted June 9, 2022 CFM Report Posted June 9, 2022 That is one nice rig for sure. I know a lot of folk love cartridge loops on their gun stuff, my personal experience with loop holders has been that i lose shells during some of my more physically demanding hunting expeditions. the stock covers are the worst for losing shells.

Members Double Daddy Posted June 9, 2022 Members Report Posted June 9, 2022 Straight up handsome and high quality...great looking field gear, right there! That color especially (saddle tan-ish) with contrasting white stitching...always a winning combination, IMO. I agree completely about that wider shoulder strap...seems more comfortable and it looks like it would "mold/form" over time to fit the user (similar to a guitar strap). Quote Have a great day! Chris
Members DaveP Posted June 9, 2022 Members Report Posted June 9, 2022 Yeah I really like this!! Well done! Quote
Members TomE Posted June 9, 2022 Members Report Posted June 9, 2022 That's a handsome piece of work! If he runs out of bullets that gun will make a good club. Quote
Contributing Member Samalan Posted June 9, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted June 9, 2022 Nice job on that very nice work and detail one thing I like is quick disconnects when straps wrap around me because you just never know when you might need to get that thing off in a hurry I did a holster like for a ruger 44 mag with the disconnects came out pretty good but might not be the look your looking for . but all that said very nice job Quote
