Rock I noticed you didn't line the belt. I also notice the short or almost nonexistent drop on the belt and holster. Plus it is a straight drop holster. I think you might be more comftable and easier to draw and holster with more of a drop and up to a 30 degree muzzle forward can't to the holster. I shoot sass and the old I get the more I want the gun to be just at the right angle and place so my wrist and elbow doesn't have to make up for it. I've looked at several of the rigs used for the b and white westerns being shown daily on the western channel plus looking at both the bianci memorial book and the other one that the name just went . But the belt was made to a l shape almost to position the gun just so, the holster and drop on the belt was much greater that yours and the is a muzzle forward can't to the holster.

I've watched and made belts by the instruction from the bianci three video set, George somebody he was the owner of leather crafters iirc, and dusty johnsons DVD. The best was bianci of corse. But I ordered a canvas Wells Fargo belt from the new company and was very disappointed in its quality. I had won a coupon gift certificate. I've used his meathod on making western gun belts several times and for a two gun rig you can not ask for a better belt either as a ranger or bascadero style. I use his ideas for building my holsters also except I've modified them more to my liking, I add more I'd a drop and muzzle forward angle to them. Plus I use more than leather to stiffen them I use al. Flashing between the leather or kydex when available.

My fir sass rig was built as a single bascadero drop with a cross draw for the second gun. Eventually I made a drop loop attachment which allowed me to have a double bascadero rig if I wanted but the rig was lost when I totaled my Rv.

Back to you rig.

Very nicely done neat craftsmanship plus I'm a fan of the black leather with white stitching. I hope you don't take my comments negativity I just wanted to point out possible modifications for your next project.

I know several Italians that shoot sass and come to New Mexico every year for the world championship. If it wasn't for the itialian gun makers like UBERTI and pieata(spelling) we wouldn't have the rifles we use and many of the revolvers used. Except for some S&W replicas I'm wanting all my revolvers are made in the USA with USA parts. Ruger and USFA SAAs.
