Members CaptQuirk Posted August 27, 2016 Members Report Posted August 27, 2016 @bikermutt07 - Western 6 guns? That is how I got into leather, I bought an Uberti Cattleman in .357 and couldn't find any western rigs. What I found online were very pricey or too cheap to trust. So, I made my own. When I go out into my woods, I need to carry, and the western rig seemed to fit. Nobody else seems interested in them, unless they are into Cowboy Shooting. Quote
Members stu925 Posted August 27, 2016 Members Report Posted August 27, 2016 Holsters for any of the standard S&W frame sizes should sell well, particularly the J &K sizes. There are plenty of S&W aficionados out there that appreciate good leather. Once you get a few built you might consider posting pictures over on the S&W forums. There's a lot of crossover between the S&W Line and Taurus line so Taurus revolvers should fit in S&W holsters like they were made for them. Personally I'd start with J & K frame blue guns and then move up to L & N once I got a few holsters sold. I suspect there's a lot more J & K frame guns than L & N but that's purely speculation.

Single action guns kind of suck in my book. They are way too slow on the loading and unloading. My dad has an old high standard 22. I loved that gun. Looks like the old single actions but the cylinder rolls out like a double action. Think how disappointed I was when I grew up and realised none of the single actions do that. I wished someone made one like that. Hence, that's why I like the gp100. I think it looks cowboyish. It would look great in a western rig, and not suck. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
Members CaptQuirk Posted August 27, 2016 Members Report Posted August 27, 2016 6 guns aren't quick to load, which does suck, since I can empty it as fast as a semi auto. But, on the other hand, a wheel gun always goes *bang*, unless it is empty, or seriously fouled up. So yeah, you do have some valid points there. Quote
Contributing Member JLSleather Posted August 27, 2016 Contributing Member Report Posted August 27, 2016 Oh, and the blackhawk and redhawk. Shoot... ya hadda bring this up. Now I'm noticin' just how many revolver holsters I haven't finished patterns fer (even tho I have the 'dummy'). Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members CaptQuirk Posted August 27, 2016 Members Report Posted August 27, 2016 I started shooting with a Super Blackhawk, just couldn't find one I could afford. Thus, the Uberti .357. Not a bad gun, it always goes bang when I need it to. Quote

Members CaptQuirk Posted August 27, 2016 Members Report Posted August 27, 2016 @bikermutt07- Yeah, loading them isn't fast or fun, but... even when empty, those hog legs are fierce weapons. You just beat the person to death with them Quote
