Members Dwight Posted 15 hours ago Members Report Posted 15 hours ago I've been watching some old Gunsmoke shows . . . and two things came to mind. One . . . just about all of us teen guys were in love with Miss Kitty . . . and I really doubt if any of us knew her age. She turned 30 . . . same year I turned 15 . . . and I never had a clue until just a couple years ago. But # 2 . . . I really got a chance to take a good look at that "Marshall Dillon" gun rig . . . and was surprised at the number of bullets he had on that rig. I'm not sure I could keep my pants up with that weight trying to pull me down. The more I've seen it . . . the more I'm probably just gonna make me one. I'll wear it in a parade or two . . . then put it on Ebay . . . and get a reasonable price for a "used" rig. May God bless, Dwight Quote If you can breathe, . . . thank God. If you can read, . . . thank a teacher. If you are reading this in English, . . . thank a veteran. www.dwightsgunleather.com

May God bless, Dwight He probably needed all those bullets to help make him look more regular sized - He was nearly 6'7" tall! Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted 3 hours ago CFM Report Posted 3 hours ago i haven't had a Matt Dillon rig since i was about 8 or 9 lol I still have my Fanner 50 but the holster is long gone. It sure sounds like a fun project. He shot someone every week so he needed a lot of bullets. I still watch the show and check out the holsters. Some of the bad guy holsters are pretty cool too.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!

Years ago I never paid any attention . . . but the producer and / or director of Bonanza and a few others . . . must have been anti gun people. None of them carry even one extra bullet . . . blank belts all the way around. Didn't notice it until I got into holster making . . . then started watching . . . goofy if you ask me.
