Members Dwight Posted October 30, 2021 Members Report Posted October 30, 2021 A long time friend of mine (50 yrs + ) asked me a year ago if I could make him a set of suspenders that would incorporate a shoulder holster . . . mag carrier . . . and of course, hold up his britches. Between sicknesses . . . travel . . . and a few other things . . . took over a year to get it done. He drove off with it on yesterday . . . pleased as punch. I felt good making it for him. May God bless, Dwight Quote
Members Hags Posted October 30, 2021 Members Report Posted October 30, 2021 I think I know that guy! Naw, not really. But, that is a very nice rig. Well done! Quote
Members K5HEP Posted October 30, 2021 Members Report Posted October 30, 2021 Excellent... Your project shows great planning and excellent execution. I wear suspenders and carry a gun - now you have given me something to think about... Quote
Members battlemunky Posted November 2, 2021 Members Report Posted November 2, 2021 I love making stuff for friends, there is generally such a feeling of gratitude and they think you are some kind of magician. Looks great @Dwight! Quote
Members Double Daddy Posted November 2, 2021 Members Report Posted November 2, 2021 Once again, Sir...your positive, head-scratching ingenuity shines through in strong fashion. The older I get, the more cold-natured I become AND the less I like having my britches tugged at by an IBW rig. Sure gives me an idea or three for a shoulder holster once that new Springfield SA-35 (Browning Hi-Power clone) finally gets to my LGS. Quote
CFM chuck123wapati Posted November 2, 2021 CFM Report Posted November 2, 2021 yes sir that is really nice! I want one now. Quote
Members Scoutmom103 Posted November 2, 2021 Members Report Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) Very nice and double duty. Like the swivel snaps to unhood it from the pants when using a dehydration port (aka bathroom) Edited November 2, 2021 by Scoutmom103 Quote
Members Dwight Posted November 2, 2021 Author Members Report Posted November 2, 2021 Thanks everyone for the good words . . . It was a case in itself . . . after we first got started . . . he had to go out west for a few weeks . . . got covid . . . Came home . . . took a long time to get well . . . Original plan of front to back double suspenders wound up getting scrapped in favor of the three legged design . . . Had to add legs to the holster and mag pouch that way . . . I got a bunch of interim orders I would work on when he wasn't available . . . all in all it took a bit over a year to get it on his shoulders and out the door. But it was fun. May God bless, Dwight Quote
Members DrmCa Posted November 2, 2021 Members Report Posted November 2, 2021 He must be a mighty big feller, if those 1911 mag pouches look so tiny. Quote

Ummm . . . that belt he's wearing I made 10 or so years ago for him. It's over 50 inches to the most used hole. May God bless, Dwight Quote
Members AzShooter Posted November 3, 2021 Members Report Posted November 3, 2021 What a wonderful job. Your work is excellent and design is above most I've seen. Quote
Contributing Member Samalan Posted November 8, 2021 Contributing Member Report Posted November 8, 2021 looks like a nice rig ! but that front piece across the chest sure looks like a nipple pincher to me. Quote
