Boothill Bob Report post Posted January 19, 2012 I love it! WOuld you care to share how you creted the U.S. emblem? I be glad to share that with you, but dont tell anyone else ;-) I got my US and CS emboss plates here http://www.bunkhousetools.com/Services.html Click at " You can access the original Acrobat file to view or download by clicking here" and scroll down a bit, and you'll find it. They works great for me. But you'll need a press to get them to work, I builded mine my self. Can show you if you like. //BhB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Abram Report post Posted January 20, 2012 Great looking rig and unique in that it is for a 1911. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dwight Report post Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Great job on the WB rig,....... BhB, . . . I also like your little press, . . . and was just wondering: is the top slanted, higher on the left than it is on the right? I could not tell for sure if that was a design or just the angle of the camera. Thanks, may God bless, Dwight Edited January 20, 2012 by Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gregintenn Report post Posted January 21, 2012 I had no idea there were cowboy action matches in Sweden. Here's my take on a wild bunch style holster. I like it, but it isn't in the same league with yours! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boothill Bob Report post Posted January 21, 2012 I had no idea there were cowboy action matches in Sweden. Here's my take on a wild bunch style holster. I like it, but it isn't in the same league with yours! Oh yea, we have. I came at the 3e place in the Europeen Championship shooting duelist. I love your rig, Its beautiful pard, really nice color. I have made a couple rigs, and holsters for some guys in US, Its nice when they turn to me in little Sweden :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katsass Report post Posted January 21, 2012 From the grumpy old guy; I'm right in there with Greg, didn't know that this type of shooting had jumped 'across the pond'. Here's my take on the 'Wild Bunch' holster. Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doc Hawkins Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Boothill: Really nice rig! How did you make the mag pouches? I'm struggling to make a good pattern and yours are awesome. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boothill Bob Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Boothill: Really nice rig! How did you make the mag pouches? I'm struggling to make a good pattern and yours are awesome. Thanx Doc. I just flat stitch them then wet mold. Will take some photos of the back of the pouch and the pattern soon. Just hold on. //BhB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boothill Bob Report post Posted January 23, 2012 And here is the holster. I added a belt tunel to it so it dont moves when I draw, and the "stabilator" wings make the holster snug to the hip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doc Hawkins Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks! I've been doing it the same way, but the end result is all crooked and ugly. Seems I'll just have to keep tweaking my pattern. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boothill Bob Report post Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks! I've been doing it the same way, but the end result is all crooked and ugly. Seems I'll just have to keep tweaking my pattern. Wet it, put the mags in and use your fingers to bend it to a nice shape, then use a bone and bone around the mags. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
