Cowboy action Wild Bunch Holster pattern

[Marshal Jamison]

Hello all,

Does anyone have a pattern for a Cowboy action shooting Wild bunch Holster?

I am wanting to make my own instead of buying one. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thank you

the Tandy 1911 pattern pack is very good for that

Thank you dannyd I will give that a try.

Marshall, there is no standard holster for Wild Bunch. The holsters I see range from WWI, WWII, and I have seen a buscadero type rig among others. About anything will work since you draw one time a stage and never re-holster on the clock. You might draw frowns if you wore a radical speed rig. Or a good flap holster will work also.

Thank you Red Cent and Oppenheim. I found the 1911 pattern pack that I think will work.

The styles you see when searching for images vary greatly but there are few rules from the Wild Bunch competition handbook:

• Holsters, Cartridge Belts

  • Loose ammunition (i.e., ammunition not in magazines) must be carried in a SASS main match legal manner.

  • Holsters and Cartridge belts must be made of traditional materials, (e.g., canvas or leather).

  • No metal or plastic “competition” type equipment.

  • Holster must cover the entire length of the slide and barrel from the muzzle TO the ejection port. (ejection port need not be covered)

  • Magazine pouches must be worn on the opposite side of the body from the handgun. They may hold one or two magazines.

  • Magazine pouches must be worn vertical and conform to the shooter’s body. (i.e., not tilt out from the shooter’s body)

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. I made this rig for messing around with my co2 1911 before I got my PB version. I intend to make a more "period' one for completion with real steel.

Thank you plinkercases,

I really like what you did I will post my final project once it is finished.

Just getting back into leather working I did some in junior high and high school.

Looking to maybe do it as a hobby and maybe make some extra money when I retire.

That is exactly my story. I messed with it a little in grade 7-8 the got back into it at first to make an Epipen case my kids would actually carry.. then one fro me.. then I found my old airgun and got the holster bug.... I now do it as a "Jobby" which is a hobby that sort of pays fro itself and do dream of the days when I can retire to it full time.

When I get time to do it, it is relaxing and rewarding and I always learn something new (i.e. make a mistake!).

This is a great forum and with some very supportive and experienced makers and I am glad I found it and glad you did too.
