Dwight Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battlemunky Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Double Daddy Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Scoutmom103 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post 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.

DrmCa Report post Posted November 2, 2021 He must be a mighty big feller, if those 1911 mag pouches look so tiny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Samalan Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
