chiefjason Report post Posted October 11, 2017 I'm calling it the "Smith Rig". My LGS called me up a few weeks ago to talk to this guy. I originally tried to get out of it but he kept telling me I had to do this. Talked to the guy for a while, decided to give it a shot. I mean, who doesn't want a NY reload for Desert Eagles? Since this is my first real shoulder rig I mocked it up completely with scrap leather. made some mistakes that I fixed in the finished product. The second mocked up side. The first one ended up flat side out, swapped the pattern for this one. Final cut. Todays delivery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

plinkercases Report post Posted October 12, 2017 Nice rig and yup he may be back asking for pads in the shoulder straps with all that gun hanging off each side! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double Daddy Report post Posted October 12, 2017 I agree about the should pads...and don't go swimmin' with all that iron strapped on...but, boy oh boy, what a rig! Doesn't even stand out under the cover garment either. Great craftsmanship, Chief! Design, color...all of it...well done! As you said...a serious New Your reload!

Seems the crazy ones are the most fun. This one. The S&W 500 cross draw. And one odd SOB holster I made over the summer. The normal stuff gets a bit boring and these mix things up.

Stetson912 Report post Posted October 13, 2017 Oh, it's a concealed carry sw500 holster... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can actually conceal that one but you have to button the shirt up. Wore it to my LGS and around for a little but just for giggles. Actually was not that bad, even driving with it on.
