Members CaptQuirk Posted November 7, 2016 Members Report Posted November 7, 2016 I have a holster to do soon and can't seem to nail down a dummy gun. It is a New Model Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 Magnum w/7.5" barrel. And to make it more interesting, it has a rail and scope. Does anyone know where I can find one? Quote
Members SLP Posted November 7, 2016 Members Report Posted November 7, 2016 I just finished one not very long ago. I found the dummy on Bunkhouse Tools. It doesn't have a rail, but it's probably the closest your going to get without the actual gun. The holster I made is for the 5 1/2", but I used the 7 1/2" mold. The gun you see in the pictures was only used for photos after the holster was completed. http://shop.bunkhousetools.com/Super-Blackhawk-75-HM940.htm Quote
Members CaptQuirk Posted November 7, 2016 Author Members Report Posted November 7, 2016 Ya know, I had been to almost every corner of the interweb looking for a 44 Magnum, and I actually saw the Bunkhouse one... but I was going under the impression it was the newer style of revolver the other hunters around here are using. In fact, on another board, there was a pic of the holster he was asking about, and it showed the "Dirty Harry" styled Magnum, not the old Hogleg. So I called the guy and had him send a pic. Long story mildly shortened, yeah, the Bunkhouse should work. I just need to adjust slightly for the scope. Thanks SLP! By the way, that was a very nice holster you did. Quote
Members SLP Posted November 12, 2016 Members Report Posted November 12, 2016 Thank you. Glad it is going to work out. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished holster. Please do post. Quote
Members CaptQuirk Posted November 12, 2016 Author Members Report Posted November 12, 2016 No, thank you! I actually had some concerns that the Bunkhouse might not work, but I stopped at a gunshop yesterday to ask. They said the only major difference was the trigger guard is squared/fancier, than the new model. I can work with that. The only other big hurdle, is allowing for the scope. I should be ok there. And, since it is going to be a chest rig, and not a shoulder harness, I will have to work that out as well. Got something going in my head, and will work on it when I get home Monday. It's cancer treatment week end, so I'm doing nothing more than doctor visits and holster sales to unsuspecting armed citizens Quote
