Members JWheeler331 Posted November 7, 2023 Members Report Posted November 7, 2023 I have been wanting a chest holster for my Blackhawk Flattop 44 Special with 5.5" barrel. With the help of Hags I finally have one for it to ride in. This will help keep it high and dry in the Louisiana Swamps. Thanks Hags. Quote
Members purplefox66 Posted November 7, 2023 Members Report Posted November 7, 2023 Very nice but for me the rivets are a killer. Quote

Normally I would have used Chicago Screws there but did not have any on hand that were long enough and I needed it to wear for a hunt so I went with the rivets. Def not my first choice since its so final. Quote

Members bladegrinder Posted November 8, 2023 Members Report Posted November 8, 2023 That looks great! Quote
Members Hags Posted November 8, 2023 Members Report Posted November 8, 2023 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. Quote Not so retired RN. Living on the Washington Peninsula.

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. 16 hours ago, bladegrinder said: That looks great! Thanks.

CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 8, 2023 CFM Report Posted November 8, 2023 great job the rivets rock IMO they allow for some movement and don't come unscrewed and lost out in the middle of no where Quote Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
