Finished these three up today, . . . one to be mailed out, one to be delivered, one to be picked up.

For a change, I really had fun doing these three. 

Each was a change in the way I normally do things, . . . kinda liked the change in pace.

May God bless,

Dwight

very nice. That first one looks like a cross draw chest rig, do you have any pointers for those? I's like to make one for my Redhawk.

Those are fantastic, Dwight.

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.

Thanks, everyone for the good words, . . . and yes Jake, and JD62 that is a cross draw chest rig.  I "created" it from several others I'd looked at, . . . and from the shoulder holster I made mimiking Doc Holiday's rig from the movie, Tombstone.  That is a GP100, 6 inch in the holster.  

I basically just made the holster, . . . a pancake style with almost a completely flat back, . . . left ears on the sides to attach the straps, . . . it has a strap around the back and one to go up and over the right shoulder.  I fastened the whole thing together with a couple of brass stud fasteners, . . . makes it quick and easy to change the dimensions.

Take a look at the pics, . . . the straps are 1 inch wide 4/5 oz, . . . holster is 8/9 oz.

I tried my best to get a fellow I know to let me build him one like this for the same model gun.  Nothing would have him but a regular shoulder holster, so that is what he got.  I would really rather have this for a cannon this big.  Its the one being hand delivered, . . . my son doesn't know it yet though, . . . it is his reward for allowing me to use the pistol to mold the shoulder holster.

May God bless,

Dwight

I really like the clip on that cross draw rig.  Really simplifies getting it on and off.  Nice work.  I occasionally get asked for those but they rarely seem to follow through on getting one.
