Western gun belt

Recommended Posts

When I first started with leather I started like most people, small easy pieces.

My first turn at trying something more serious was a gun belt that was towards the end of 2019. I learned a lot about how to do things and how not to do things. 

I used 9-10oz veg tan and 1-2oz pig suede for lining. I learned that I shouldn't use chrome tan lining for a nickel plated gun.

Either I over saturated the belt with black or I didn't seal it properly because I still get a lot of rub off. I think I'll try sealing it again with resolene.

The gun is an Uberti 1875 Army Outlaw in .45 Colt

I just noticed the pics got reversed, may have happened in selfie mode, the rig is right handed as shown in the first and second pic.

Looks effin great! But I have one “duh” question to ask. Did you add a trigger guard spine so the pistol could rest on it???

so many holsters don’t have em because of the extra work or the holster is considered generic

Thanks everyone!

Im not sure what you mean by trigger guard spine. I took close up shots of the trigger area. I hope it clarifies what I did.

That is what I call a welt. I have no idea if that is the correct term. Spine sounds OK to me. Spacer would work too.
