ArtS Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Is there a "normal" number of cartridge loops to put in a western holster belt? I guess everyone has their own way of doing it but I thought there might be a standard for the movie type holsters (not SASS authentic style). I'm looking at buying some dummy cartridges and need to know how many I should get. Also, does anyone have a good supplier for dummy cartridges? Thanks, ArtS Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Don101 Report post Posted March 5, 2008 when i make a belt 24 is standard and calculated in the price and for each loop more is $2, i think if you have less than 24 loops it looks lost on a standard 36 inch belt, Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kseidel Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Hollywood style gunrigs usually have cartridge loops from billet to billet. On a 36-38 it amounts to about 30 .45's. A good source for dummy cartridges is Mark Allen Productions. Keith Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCOUTER Report post Posted March 6, 2008 ART, A while back I rented John Bianchi's DVDs on holster making... I don't know why but he made a point of mentioning that there are 28 loops... He mentioned it more then once and almost stressed it! Now I have not made a rig as of yet but I have seen that number POP up more then once! Go Figure! Good luck!
