Mexican loop holster... And belt

[Stetson912]

This project was fun, it's a Mexican loop holster and belt for my nephew. It is for a little cap gun I got for him. He is 5 and like playing pretend and stuff so, I thought this could help with that. 

Let me know what you think. The pics show the holster still wet and I'll just do a wax finish on it.

I reckon he'll love it! I'll bet all his friends will want one too.

I hope he does. Good way to get rid of that cheap skirting too, that stuff is fuzzy and hard to work with. Not much of an it left though now haha. 

I'm thinking I might add a hammer thong too. Just cuz

Sweet! He'll love it!

Lucky nephew with an Unc who just made him a real cowboy gun holster.

He'll be all set up to catch those dastardly piggy-bank robbers

Or be the one robbing them... I wouldn't put it past him... He can cause some mischief I reckon. 

It is really over built tho, 10/12 oz saddle skirting for all of it haha. The little cap gun only weighs a few ounces hahaha although that's unloaded... We all know how heavy them 8 shot ring caps can get... Might add a gram or two!

umm, are ya gonna make an ammo pouch for them 8 shot cartyriges?

I hadn't thought too but that sounds like a good idea! Just a little box type thing to stuff a bunch into?

[fredk]

Well no decent cowboy is gonna go around with only 8 shots. He's gonna need a lot more for those gunfights.

Have you any conchos? put a star one on the pouch?

[Stetson912]

I don't, I wish I did. I will have to figure out how to make a pouch for those caps now haha.
