RoosterShooter Report post Posted October 15, 2012 I'm making a few holster rigs for my personal use, and think that the 8 oz. leather is a little too thick for straps. What thickness should I use? Also, what have you used? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Josh Ashman Report post Posted October 15, 2012 Rooster, I've made a few chest holster rigs that use straps. The first was for me to carry my Ruger Blackhawk, it has 6/7 oz straps that are 5/8" wide. The other two are for Commander sized 45 auto's, they each have 10 oz staps that are 3/4" wide. You can see that they barely fit through a JWP conway buckle. Anyway, I felt like the 6/7 was too thin but that was probably compounded by the narrow width, I'd think the 8 oz would be pretty good. It's also true that you could probably use one of the heavier 45 rigs in place of a cinch in a bind . Good luck! Josh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
