Members jackd942 Posted January 19, 2014 Members Report Posted January 19, 2014 Anybody else seen the Texas Ranger rig she wears in this show? I'm feeling the urge to make something similar...can't find many good pics of it tho... Quote http://DavisLeather.blogspot.com http://Facebook.com/DavisCustomLeather
Members harley45 Posted January 19, 2014 Members Report Posted January 19, 2014 It's a beautiful rig I'm toying with trying something like that to use for our range days at the PD I work for. Quote
Members longtooth Posted January 19, 2014 Members Report Posted January 19, 2014 Wonder if Will Ghromley was the maker. He does lots of Hollywood holsters. Quote
Members harley45 Posted January 19, 2014 Members Report Posted January 19, 2014 I found a better pic of the belt buckle she uses and I'm pretty sure it's the same one they sell at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame museum. They are made by inmates, I'd like to see a closeup of the holster though it has a flap on the outside top that I'm not sure if it is a thumb break or a hammer thong Quote
Mike Craw Posted January 19, 2014 Report Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Looks like the rig worn by Nick Nolte in "Extreme Prejudice". His holster and belt are copies of the leather that Texas Ranger Jackson actually wore. The holster is the style credited to A.W. Brill and a variation is available from El Paso Saddle company. Hope this helps. Mike P.S. Just went online and searched both Ranger Joaquin Jackson and A.W. Brill. The Jackson search had a couple photos of him, but none showed useable close-ups of his leather gear. The A.W. Brill search had quite a few detailed close-ups of this type of rig that you might find useful.

Members jackd942 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 19, 2014 I did notice that there seems to be more than 1 rig at least in the promo photos. There is another rig in some if the pics that has some red or burgundy in it as well as flaps and snaps over the mag pouches. Hard to find any good detailed pics of any of it tho...in watching the show, the only setup I've seen her wear is the one I posted. Thanks for the info Mike, I'll do a little research and see what I can find on A.W. Brill... Quote http://DavisLeather.blogspot.com http://Facebook.com/DavisCustomLeather
Members camano ridge Posted January 20, 2014 Members Report Posted January 20, 2014 Here is a picture of Jouquin Jackson his rig has similarities. Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts
Members Red Cent Posted January 20, 2014 Members Report Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Nick Nolte did use Joaquin Jackson as an adviser on his leather in Extreme Prejudice. Nolte practically copied Jackson's holster. And I agree that her holster is a clone/copy of Nolte's. Scroll down about 2/3 of the way. There is an "Extreme Prejudice" holster and some comments on our subject. http://www.westernle...rical-holsters/ Edited January 20, 2014 by Red Cent Quote https://www.facebook.com/redcentcustomleather?ref=bookmarks http://www.redcentcustomleather.com/
Members camano ridge Posted January 20, 2014 Members Report Posted January 20, 2014 If you scroll down a little further on Reds link you will see the buckle set that looks like the one on her belts Quote https://www.facebook.com/CamanoRidgeCustomLeather?fref=ts

They are made by inmates, I'd like to see a closeup of the holster though it has a flap on the outside top that I'm not sure if it is a thumb break or a hammer thong In watching the show tonight, I got a little better (but very brief) look at the holster. There is a flap on the outside that almost looks like a reverse sweat guard. It doesn't appear to be a hammer thong or thumb break...I guess it's just there to protect the gun. She draws the gun at one point and there doesn't appear to be any retention other than the friction of the holster. Definitely haven't seen another Ranger rig with a flap like that in any of my searches, although the setup in general looks almost just like the Extreme Prejudice rig.

Members Steve75 Posted January 23, 2014 Members Report Posted January 23, 2014 It looks like they might have added a "dog ear" similar to the Texas Ranger "Dog Ear" Double Action Holster. The flap was meant to protect the liner of the jacket or coat from snagging on the hammer or adjustable rear sight. There is an example of it on Chisholm Leather's website. The Milt Sparks 200AW holster also incorporating a shroud to protect the jacket liner.

Members Red Cent Posted January 23, 2014 Members Report Posted January 23, 2014 Speaking of dog ears, the show received some of the worst reviews I have ever read. Quote https://www.facebook.com/redcentcustomleather?ref=bookmarks http://www.redcentcustomleather.com/
Members jackd942 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Didn't see the "dog ear", guess I need to look a little harder. Guess that would help with a seatbelt or center console as well... Speaking of dog ears, the show received some of the worst reviews I have ever read. LOL red cent...I just watched it for the gun leather:) Edited January 23, 2014 by jackd942 Quote http://DavisLeather.blogspot.com http://Facebook.com/DavisCustomLeather
