SickMick Report post Posted January 11, 2020 I'll second Will Gormley's patterns. One pattern has everything for all the popular western revolvers, including percussion in various barrel lengths. Well worth the $40. There was a transition in 1800's holster design when cartridge gun were introduced. Basically going from the "Slim Jim" California style to the Mexican Loop style. The major difference being the Mexican Loop can slip over a belt loaded with cartridges and the Slim Jim was designed for percussion guns.....and had a much smaller belt loop. Most had little embellishment as it was more of a tool than a fashion statement until the 1900's. I'm fortunate enough make holsters for some of the reenactors in Tombstone and sell through a gun shop there. These guys are PICKY!.....:) With that said, with one of Will's patterns, the sizing is perfect and it's easy to make small changes to the design as needed. Here's a "Hand Of God" I made quite some time ago. You may be able to find this pattern for a little less than any of his others, it's been pretty popular. Will's dedication to authenticity is awesome. This one has a bit of Hollywood flair with the tooling, but the basic shape is great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RemingtonSteel Report post Posted January 17, 2020 Generous offer Dwight, in helping Frodo out, and that is one very nice rig you made to boot. One of these days, I got to try making a money belt style gun belt. Frodo, I would stay away from toy/cap guns, as they are highly unlikely to be to the correct dimensions of an original SA Colt 45 firearm. Blue guns on the other hand are made from molds that are created with the actual gun and are true to dimension. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
