three gun holsters and rigs

[Randy Cornelius]

Here are three more gun holsters and rigs. Someone asked to see some more.The first one is a fully basket stamped rig for a Colt 1911. It was made out of W&C leather. 10/12 oz lined with 2/3 oz. The holster is fully formed wet to the gun. The other 2 photos are another style of holster for the G-36 that I made the shark skin for. One is dyed Mahonogy and the other was black. They were both made out of W&C and also wet formed. My wife claims I have different holster rigs for every outfit. She compairs me to a lady and her purses.... I think it goes much deeper than that...I will be happy to answer any questions about construction etc. I almost never line my holsters. When you line them and then try to wet form them the linning never cooperates. I have better luck without linning and it come out better looking job without the linning. But if a customer wants I will do anything for a buck. I have made holsters for everyting from derrangers to the new 500 S&W revolver.

I have been building holsters for several years now. Got started when I got into the SASS shooting and was too cheep to buy a holster rig. I don't hand sew much anymore, arther. in my hands just won't let me. I have an Artisen 3000 machine I bought 3 years ago. It was the best investment that I have ever made.

The Consealed Carry has brought in a lot of business. Also look for those lefty's as they do not have the choises out there off the shelf that the Right handed people do.
