Shotgun Slide.

I know this is for holsters but I thought the cowboy action shooters would like to see a slide I made for a real cowboy gamer. Laughing.

Hey Longtooth. Looks great. either a sxs shooter or he pulls two at a time. My first reaction is the angled loops legal but then they probably are. Recently, there was some hullaboo about declaring a shotgun belt I have competed with for 14 years illegal.

Is that a true slide, or is it attached to a belt?

[longtooth]

It's a true slide. Under the slide sewn to the belt is piece off leather about 3/4 inch thick that forces the shells away from the body. I didn't make the belt.

"...piece off leather about 3/4 inch thick that forces the shells away from the body." That is probably totally illegal. Still looks good.

As Red cent says you might have some problem at CAS matches although I know some clubs run things looser then others so you might be ok at your club but run into problems else where.

Here is an excerpt from the SASS handbook: Shotgun ammo loops must conform to the shooters contour (i.e., not tilt out from the belt).

I have made some belts that was cut on the curve and this automatically pushes the shells away from the body. Evil Roy and Holy Terror had these belts. If I recollect Sass had some conversation in regard to those belts. My belt that I use is not cut on the bias and from use if conforms to your body and has a curve in it. I'm not sure what the current rules are I will have to check. This shooter goes to all the major matches and I have not heard of him having a problem. The original slide I made was only for six shells. He wanted one to hold 12. I guess everyone is pushing the envelope with the holsters, guns and the belts.
