Here is a BBQ Rig, I just sent out to a customer.

It consists of a black Shark over Horsehide belt, My HR-1 High Rise holster in Cordovan/Burgundy Horsehide with Shark accents and a HR-DBL magazine/light pouch, also Shark over Horsehide. The customer just picked up his Sig MK25 Navy Collectors edition and wanted something fancy to go with it. Hope you like it.

Very nice, JRC! I've never been fond of that particular construction, but only from an aesthetic perspective. Functionally speaking (although I've never built one), it appears to be the ticket. The part that has turned me away from building this design is the stitch lines. They just don't 'flow' in an aesthetically pleasing fashion, IMO.

BUT....you sir, make it look good! The shark against the horsehide draws attention away from the stitch pattern (again, IMO). I've not yet worked with horsehide, but I'm looking forward to it. Again, great work....I'm confident the customer will be more than satisfied!...:)

Thanks Ran. I think the whole belt tunnel construction really is a matter of personal taste. All my OWB holsters use it. It is a solid platform and one of the other reasons I use it, is just to be different, lol. You should give it a try sometime for one of your own and see how you like it.

I love working with Horsehide. It is a bit different to work with, but not to bad. I bought my first horsehide holster from Ken Null 21 years ago and was hooked. There is just something about the way it looks that i find so appealing.

Nice work! Who supplies your sharkskin?

Thanks! I get it from Roje and John Fong. The shark on the holster and pouch were from Roje. The smoother shark on the belt is from Fong. I have noticed that getting long pieces has been very hit and miss the last few months.
