Members Boothill Bob Posted January 19, 2012 Author Members Report 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
Members gregintenn Posted January 20, 2012 Members Report Posted January 20, 2012 Thanks. I would like to see your press. Quote
Members Haystacker Posted January 20, 2012 Members Report Posted January 20, 2012 I think tjhis is one of the finest looking rigs I have ever seen. Excellent. Quote haysholsters@hotmail.com NRA Life Member
Members Boothill Bob Posted January 20, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 20, 2012 Here is the press that I built, easy to make and works great.. Quote
Members Abram Posted January 20, 2012 Members Report Posted January 20, 2012 Great looking rig and unique in that it is for a 1911. Quote
Members gregintenn Posted January 20, 2012 Members Report Posted January 20, 2012 Looks like you are on top of things. I like the press as well. Quote
Members Dwight Posted January 20, 2012 Members Report 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 If you can breathe, . . . thank God.

Members Boothill Bob Posted January 20, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 20, 2012 Why pay $800 for something I can make for $15 ;-) Quote

Members gregintenn Posted January 21, 2012 Members Report 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

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
Members katsass Posted January 21, 2012 Members Report 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 NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!! At my age I find that I can live without sex..........but not without my glasses. Being old has an advantage.......nobody expects me to do anything in a hurry.
Members gregintenn Posted January 21, 2012 Members Report Posted January 21, 2012 I love it Mike! You guys give me something to aspire to. Quote

Thanks greg, the thing takes a little time to hand stitch though. Mike Quote NOTE TO SELF: Never try to hold a cat and an operating Dust buster at the same time!!

Members Doc Hawkins Posted January 23, 2012 Members Report 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

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
Members Boothill Bob Posted January 23, 2012 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2012 Here it is Quote
Members Boothill Bob Posted January 23, 2012 Author Members Report 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
Members Doc Hawkins Posted January 23, 2012 Members Report 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
