JWheeler331 Report post Posted May 31, 2023 The Mexican Loop Holster was right at home on the range in the 19th century. Carried by many outlaws and lawmen such as Texas Rangers. The Mexican Loop Holster was a classic design that carried over into the 20th century as well. Simple in design, it is still popular today, so many decades later. I decidced to make up this holster for a 1911. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlZilla Report post Posted May 31, 2023 I guess the time has come for me to make one of these. I love the Mexican Loop design but I really don't have any single action six shooters. The 1911 looks at home and I do have one or two of those floating around. Well I did before the tragic canoeing accident, but I hope to fish them out of the lake. Nice job.

AlZilla Report post Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) 46 minutes ago, Bert03241 said: Tragic canoe accident , now that deserves so more explanation Well, I took all my guns down to the lake because I wanted to scrub them up for the big gun buy back program. You know I'm the kind of guy that wants to keep the streets safe. The wind blew my favorite scrubbing rag overboard! I LEAPED to save it, tipping the canoe over in the process and all my guns PLUS the large economy size bottle of Dawn Dish Washing detergent I bought just for the occasion, all gone to Davy Jones Locker ... I was so broken hearted and dejected that I couldn't do my part to keep the streets safe! And all those fish now in danger, what with dangerous guns scattered all over the lake bed. My scrubbing rag blew ashore, so I did get it back. Edited May 31, 2023 by AlZilla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dikman Report post Posted June 2, 2023 AlZilla, that is very tragic. I suspect there were many similar incidents here when they initiated the gun buyback. Rumour has it that a lot of large diameter plastic pipe and endcaps were sold at that time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whistleshortbritches Report post Posted July 18 I know I am late, but yes it is nice, looks like a solid carry holster that would be comfy. I would like to build one like it with a light gauged metal, like the London Jack walk and draw on YouTube builds for Single Action's, but the size of your rig.
