crossdraw rig

[Warren]

Very, very nice work! It's worth every bit of $150.00. I posted a shoulder rig here on the forum with only the holster lined and If I had been selling it I would have charged at least that for it. As it was the agreement I had with a friend was he would pay for the materials. Hey he's a friend and I wanted the chance to do the holster. Then he comes by to get it while I'm at work and my wife says he can just have it, no charge! She gripes at how much I spend on my "hobby" then turns down money when it's offered and she had nothing to do with it. Go figure! Anyway I loved the border-stamp on the holster and I know all about hand-stitching so keep it up and post more pictures. The only thing better than doing work is seeing everyone elses.

Very nice belt and holster. For a pricing guide take a look at El Paso Saddlery, they are the defacto stardard in cowboy rigs. The cowboy action shooting crowd buys a lot of their rigs. There are other makers but El Paso will give you a guide to follow for pricing. I did cowboy action shooting for about 8 years and always wanted one of their rigs but never could afford one. That's how I got started in leather working, making my own holsters and belts. Here's a link to their site.

Yeah, i agree with Gunfighter48 - see what other companies are selling similar rigs for, just to get a range. When I first started trying to price stuff, I found 4-5 companies that sold the same or similar sort of stuff and created a grid. That way I at least knew if I was over or under. I intentionally priced things low for years to generate work - I figured folks were paying me to practice. Of course, this is my hobby, which makes a huge difference.

Thanks again guys.....I've done a lot of surfing for gun rig prices and actually have already been to the El Paso sight. They have good stuff for sure. Pricing things to friends is pretty tough........alot of stuff I make for friends, I just give to them...small things anyway. From what I figure, I do it to avoid criticism..........if it's free they can't critique it, can they?? The old "gift horse in the mouth....if you will.
