Members RemingtonSteel Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 This is my first attempt at a western style gun belt and two holster set. I shoot cowboy action shooting and wanted to make my own rig. Both the belt and holster are lined, and both layers are made from 7/8 oz. veg taned leather. I followd Jim Simmons tutorial on “Making the Cowboy Holster “ that I found on ths site - Thanks Jim! Lots of fun, but lots of work too. Plenty of mistakes for the first time,, but thats how you learn. If I am going to more of these, I am going to have to get a sewing machine!!! Quote
Members noobleather Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 Great looking holsters and belt. Nice colour and stamping.I like the conchos and braid on the holsters.I have to get round to doing my own soon.. Quote
Members SickMick Posted February 24, 2019 Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 Good job......now it's time to do some spur straps to match.... Quote
Members RemingtonSteel Posted February 24, 2019 Author Members Report Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) Noobleather, No time like the present. I have to say that it probably took me more time to decide on the style and look that I wanted, than it did to actually make the rig. Spent hours on Pintrest looking at different western holsters. 1 hour ago, SickMick said: Good job......now it's time to do some spur straps to match.... Now its time to go shooting... Then maybe some spur straps. Wish I could edit the title, noticed I missed a T in belt. Edited February 24, 2019 by RemingtonSteel Quote
Members Josh Ashman Posted February 26, 2019 Members Report Posted February 26, 2019 Wow! That's some nice work! Great job all around! A bead border with a San Carlos stamp and some sort of cam stamp around the inside has always been a favorite of mine. Your version looks great! A sewing machine makes lined belts much more enjoyable! All the best, Josh Quote
Members plinkercases Posted February 26, 2019 Members Report Posted February 26, 2019 Very nice rig for sure and welcome to CAS land!!! Its a hoot. You have inspired me to perhaps upgrade my rig. Quote
Members RemingtonSteel Posted February 27, 2019 Author Members Report Posted February 27, 2019 I appreciate the comments! Everyone should know that I searched Pinterest for months pinning holster rigs that I liked. I kept going back to one photo in particular, that had a rig with design elements that I really liked. I took the design and modified to suit my needs and that of CAS. Yesterday, I decided to see if I could track down who the original creator of that rig was. As it turns out my search lead me back to leatherworker.net, and one of our very talented and prolific leather workers - Josh Ashmen. Here is the rig I based my work on: So a big thank you to Josh for the inspiration behind my rig. Steve Quote
Members Viking Posted March 4, 2019 Members Report Posted March 4, 2019 Outstanding! My first attempt at a single action, quick draw rig was a fail, but hopefully learned enough for my second attempt soon! Quote
Members noobleather Posted April 8, 2019 Members Report Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Well Remington steel,I have decided to jump in headfirst and have made a start on my first holster for a CAS rig. Already made a couple of mistakes but that's what it's all about. Will post more photos soon in a new thread. Edited April 8, 2019 by noobleather Spelling Quote
