Members harley45 Posted July 22, 2014 Members Report Posted July 22, 2014 I have a customer who wants a holster and I was curious what you guys use as a mold? I don't own a blackhawk quite yet. Thanks, Eric Quote

Members harley45 Posted July 22, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 22, 2014 Wow Thanks Guys!! Quote
Members Red Cent Posted July 22, 2014 Members Report Posted July 22, 2014 New model or old model? NM is smaller and you can use a NM Vaquero, a Colt, or Colt clones except or the tall front sight. 'Course, both models have the tall front sight. However the frame and cylinder is bigger on the OM. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 23, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted July 23, 2014 Not sure about the 'old' version Red, but I have that 'dummy' they're talking about. Cylinder is 1.700" (ish), and the holster resulting from it fits the NM pretty sweet. No idea how that relates to the old one ... Quote
Members harley45 Posted July 23, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 23, 2014 I kinda cheated on this one and went out and bought a real gun, I had my eye on it anyway. Quote
Members Red Cent Posted July 24, 2014 Members Report Posted July 24, 2014 Kind of a weak excuse to buy a gun but hey............. Quote
Members harley45 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 24, 2014 I actually showed my wife the emails I have several guys interested in CC holsters for this model which at first I found odd but then figured what the heck.... Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted July 24, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted July 24, 2014 (edited) There are bigger guns, but that blackhawk is likely a bit tough to 'conceal'. I got a fella up this way, showed me his Super Redhawk - wants a shoulder holster for it. Barrel should be right about mid-thigh Oh, maybe it helps to show your wife how you SAVED $35 (ish) by not needing the dummy gun? No? Edited July 24, 2014 by JLSleather Quote
Members harley45 Posted July 24, 2014 Author Members Report Posted July 24, 2014 Mine is a New Model Blackhawk in 44 special, I think its about the same as my Full Size 1911s. Not my cup of tea as a carry gun but I'll do a couple of holsters and see where it goes. Quote

You might want to talk that customer in to a cross chest / bandolier type of holster, especially with the longer barreled (9.5")model. I have an average length torso & a 50" chest and my 7.5" 44 mag filled up the front of my hunting jacket with a nylon bandolier holster. If I had the scope on it, it would be even worse. That is just a B F pistol. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 6, 2014 Contributing Member Report Posted August 6, 2014 Yep, Kenny's is the .44 with the 7.5" barrel. He's a lot bigger 'n' me, but still ... Quote
