Which Revolver molds?

@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.

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.

Well yeah, 6 guns. 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.

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.

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').

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.

I always loved the look and feel of them. I had the ruger 22 conversion, but loading and unloading turned me off to it. Just wanted to make that clear.

@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

[bikermutt07]

Ha!

"I like the gp100 is because it resembles the old six shooters."

 

Ohhhh, such irreverence.
