Man With No Name rig!

[Brooks125]

New item time! A couple months ago, I received a request for a "Fist Full of Dollars - walk and draw rig." The customer specified a few adjustments from the Man With No Name:

- It needed to be a double rig

- He wanted to use it for quick-draw

- It had to fit a pair of 4.62" Ruger Vaqueros

The QD requirement meant it all had to be rawhide lined, which is a departure for me, and it needed bullet deflectors. This is probably the 4th version I came up with for the order .. I could not be happier. AND the power of the internet means he found me from Washington State (I'm in Ohio!)

I'm kinda jazzed about this one!

Wow!

I like those!

Those look good. Nice work, there.

Your holsters are much better looking than the one rawhide lined holster I made one time as an experiment. The leather wouldn't glue to the rawhide and to shape it, it shrank at a very different rate than the rest of the holster. It worked well but looked funky.

That looks great!  Well done.

May God bless,

I went through an entire side of rawhide to get this right.   It's all about timing.   Wet enough to mold, dry enough to cement.  Once you start,  clear your calendar because you have to work it until it starts drying, because it has to be set when you're done.

Obviously you got it right because they came out looking mighty good.

Nailed it!  form meets function.  Really nice work.
