Tactical Leather Rig

[Treed]

Started looking for something to carry 1911, mags and AR 15 mags. Everything I found was for a full tactical loadout. I am not on the SWAT team anymore so I wanted something simple and usable, easy to put on in the night for defense or to go to the range with. Something easy to mount 2 to 4 mags [28 to 36 rounds] for the 1911 and 1 or 2 AR mags [60 to 90 rounds]. This is the rig that I came up with, Herman Oak leather 10 oz and fully lined. Holster is drop with thump break, drop has some flexibility but will retain its shape with molded kydex insert. All mag pouches are wet molded to the magazines.

That's a good looking out fit. Wheres the tactical light?

Very nice...what color of dye did you use? I really like that color.

I haven't gotten around to building a holster for the light....still old school and use a hand held light...

There was no dye used.... natural leather with good dip of neastfoots oil and some natural sun light.

That's a fine looking rig!!

Very nice Bobby! I've been thinking of doing something similar but haven'y gotten around to it yet. SF

[JoshD]

i like it, are there any more examples of this on the forums?

Awful glad I logged on today...very nice work, Bobby! That's a great alternative to the usual black color for such rigs. Very inspiring...

Pretty Nice Looking Rig

I think I may be making one like this. I've been contemplating it, but hadn't figured out how to do the holster & AR pouch. I really like how you did those.

Great job. It doesn't look remotely tactical. Which I think is an accomplishment in itself.

Slick rig. Have you tried some Magpul mags in that leather holster? I was just curious if that synthetic material would slide in and out of the leather.

 Magpul's work great in it.....

 

A friend calls it the Tactical Rancher.

I've been studying your pictures a little more, and have some questions:

Is the drop holster leg strap adjustable?

Is the kydex insert in the holster part, or the drop-leg part?

The strap is adjustable only with Chicago screws. The kydex is in the drop leg to keep the butt of the gun out slightly for a strong grip on the gun during the draw

That's quite a rig. I pity the terrorist who gets in your way.

Throw a SG shell slide on there and you are all set for three gun. Nice work.

Well... you're going to have to steer clear of gun free zones now...

Good looking rig, thanks for sharing!
