CFM chuck123wapati Posted Tuesday at 12:08 PM CFM Report Posted Tuesday at 12:08 PM So, being the cheap a^^ old skinflint I am i decided I could build a holster that would double as a belt or shoulder holster. It would be cheaper than building an extra holster of various styles for several guns. The holsters were the easy part!!! This is my third try on the shoulder rig, lol, but I'm still ahead i think. Very comfortable, easy to switch, and carries all my holsters well.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Contributing Member Samalan Posted Tuesday at 12:23 PM Contributing Member Report Posted Tuesday at 12:23 PM Nice Job on that. So the brass fittings that I see, could you explain those for me, maybe show the back side, great idea by the way. Quote
Members Thadrick Posted Tuesday at 01:11 PM Members Report Posted Tuesday at 01:11 PM Interesting idea. I throw my belts over my shoulder from time to time but they aren't comfortable that way and try to drop off. Quote

The top has two screws to keep the holster from tilting or sliding in the belt slot. The back panel is just punched for the Chicago screw female post to fit tightly. 35 minutes ago, Thadrick said: Interesting idea.

I think a guy could do this with diferent types of holsters as well. I just used a Tandy shoulder holster pattern and modified it to my liking. This is the best I've come up with so far. It's comfortable, stays put, and has no chest strap, so it's totally hidden, at least with the 1911 and smaller lol.

Members JDFred Posted Tuesday at 11:33 PM Members Report Posted Tuesday at 11:33 PM (edited) That’s a very cool idea. Do you have a locator on the back side of the plates to fit the slots in the holster or is it just pinch pressure from the screw? Sorry I don’t skim read well the two screws on the one side is a far simpler design than brazing a locator on the back.
