Cowboy Single Action loading strips

[fredk]

A very functional item made extremely nice looking. It'll be a pleasure to the owners to have these

Thanks for the kind comments.

Dikman I did make up a prototype with riveted bullet loops. It will suit some cowboy shooters rigs but some people like their leather works plainer. Personal choice I guess. Happy to use rivets as it means less stitching time for me

Thanks noobleather and Dikman, . . . I am not into Cowboy action shooting, . . . so that was WAyyyyyyyy  over my head.  But they still are darned nice.

AND . . . noobleather, . . . I make those loops in every gun belt I make, . . . never had to stitch even one of em.  I use 3/4 calf leather, . . . cut it about 3/32 wider than the slot, . . . pull it thru and around the bullet, . . . back out the same hole, . . . once it dries, it'll never move.

Of course, . . . I help that along with a couple light coats of Resolene, . . .  mixed 50/50 with  water, . . . makes em solid as a Republican judge.

May God bless,

Dwight

Thanks for that advise Dwight. A little wider would make it tighter to pull through and then it would grip nice and snug. I will have to give that a try on my next bullet loading strip for sure. Thankyou

Yes holsters and gun belt are next.

This is not any kind of fancy, . . . it is my personal holster and gun belt, . . . as of now it is about 15 yrs old, . . . feels better each time I put it on.

AND of course it is made the way I described to you.

15 years old? Still looks in great condition, must be due to the workmanship 

Like the matching buckles

Actually, . . . the story behind that buckle set is I saw the belt buckle hanging in the Tandy store, . . . bought it for my own personal dress buckle.  

Got it home, . . . took a better look, . . . decided to break down and make my own cowboy rig, . . .  kinda sorta like the Duke's rig he wore in the last 5 or 6 westerns he did.

Then I had to go get the little buckle and the conchos to finish it.

Opening up the little buckles bag, . . . finally saw the design name on it "Diablo", . . . had to laugh that here is a church pastor with a cowboy rig, . . . buckle set is the "Devil" in spanish.

Still chuckle about it.

May God bless,
