I’m a holster maker here in South Florida and I must say this is one of the most interesting holster builds I’ve seen. This type of rig is so different to the concealed setups I make for semi~Auto’s I make because I have to cover the trigger and make it tight enough so the firearm doesn’t fall out without using a retaining strap. This setup is completely different and truly fascinating. Thank you for sharing this with us. God Bless The United States of America and President Donald J. Trump.

Stunning work! I appreciate the behind-the-scenes comments on WHY you do it a specific way. It helps to understand the art vs. the science. Would love to build something like this with a trigger guard. Can't wait to see the gun belt.

Now we just gently persuade it with a leather mallet. Proceeds to beat the absolute piss out of it. I love it. You did a fantastic job sir and i will be watching this video again.

Hi LJ, I own an original Andy Anderson walk and draw Eastwood holster and belt made in 1960 and you did a spot on job copying it....you are a very skilled Craftsman sir!

I really enjoyed watching your video.

Absolutely 👍 one of the best if not the best holster work I have seen so far. Wonderful. God bless America long live the Republic

You do very good work. I've made a few holsters by hand with nothing more than some very rudimentary hand tools (and a lot of improvising)...all hand stitched. I'm still learning and it's a slow process, but you can't learn without doing.

As I remember it, Eastwood’s holster had a rear can’t to it. Your’s has a straight drop which I like much better. You did an excellent job sir.

That's really good work. I can't wait to see how you do your belts.

What a beautiful work of art, bravo.

you are the best my friend. Regards from Mexico City.

That's some professionals job absolutely! 😃💯💢👍👍👍🌺🍀🌺🍀🌺🍀

Great …thanks for your reply I have a store right opposite my work place…have watch your videos on this fast draw rig and think I now have the patten pretty much looking something like ,next big leap is transferring to the leather wish me luck …and by the way great holsters you make 👍🏻

Great job, the most beautiful holster that I see. THanks for sharing your talent

Cool holster!

Friend, Those are a pair of absolutely WONDERFUL tutorials. I have been wanting to make a Home-Made version of the Old Chapman High Ride Holster for the Semiauto-Mostly 1911A1s. It is a sad commentary on the tastes of Holster Buyers and the competency of Holster Manufacturers that this Holster is no longer available. It is so far superior to whatever is in second place as to make any comparison laughable. At any rate, I was clueless about how to proceed, since the design included a Steel Insert. Thank You! Thank You!! THANK YOU!!!!!! (IF'n you'd make a tutorial on how to recreate the Chapman High Ride, my Happiness would know no bounds!) Thanks once again!

A lot of work and it is so well done!

This is so badass! I'll have to try the steel plate thing for my holster because it just seems like a super fun thing to try!

Amazing work!

Absolutely stunning! great job.

Andy Anderson used a 7 1/2" colt saa with custom grips, unusual for F/D but he stood 6 foot 4 so on him it was fine..he also had custom grips..he did lots of movie rigs and customised gun, like JAMES DRURY gun with its dragoon style back strap in brass..I loved his makers stamp, an ace of spades with a bullet hole,, thanks London Jack for outstanding videos..

Part one I commented I Carried a module 19 S&W in a steal lined holster as a law enforcement officer. However our holsters used a hammer loop strap. One long leather strap with both ends passed through the hammer strap holes and tied in a square knot creating a loop. When we used the loop we were trained to twist the leather loop could get clockwise for right handers and clockwise for lefties, until the loop was so small it just fit tightly over the pistol' hammer. Then to draw you only had to push the strap up off the hammer and it would uncool out away from the hammer and allow a fast clean draw. I carried my pistol this way for ten years, until I became a detective and switched to a concealed carry holster. PS The leather strap ,I think, was just under a quarter inch thick.

Beautiful work. There's a lor that goes into metal lined holsters.

Thank you

Saludos👍👍👍

Wow.

How do you judge where to put the holes ahead of time for the hammer thong? Absolutely love the work here. Im working on my first western style lined holster and gun belt and i must've watched this series 5 times now

Cool

Very good work. I had never seen how the metal lining was incorporated into the holdter Im curious why use the chicago screws to hold the fender when theres a strap?

Excellent work. Now ordered the pdf template for this. Just wondered what size Chicago screws you used?

I wonder if holster makers back in the old west used the saddle stitching method

Happy new year pard

is the choice to have the rough out an aesthetic decision or is there a functional reason?

Ahhh okay so that’s what I saw before. I’ve seen versions of this (very rare) in person at events where some people tooled their mild steel like leather and put it on the outside. I remember one guy had a torn up painted American flag or something.

Yes , a curved belt would br great..Andy had a carved holster himself very fancy..are you doing any uk events this year, maybe malvern..I think john at escort has an original Anderson rig..Ive got a walk and draw and a AA.. I would love a rough out V2.. email me for more Anderson info..

Thank you for a realy good video. Most what kind of metall do you use for it?

What brand of contact adhesive do you use for your leather work.

What is that machine called that you used to punch the stiching holes?

I noticed that you didn't rough up the welt before gluing is it not necessary

Does the water rust the steel liner.. or is it stainless

Can I buy one of your holster?,

Would like to buy that holster, right hand,4/12 bar, new model time to complete and ship to so.cal.thanks

How much to make one in left handed? For a ruger vaquero 44 magnum?

Would you consider selling one of these?

Could something like this hold a 1851 colt navy

Where can the I buy the tool that you used to pull the retainer strap through?

Oh, and how about a wrist brace from FAFDM..

How do I get hold of you

You didn’t show how you put the metal in

Ah, good advice..have you tried aluminium. ?

1 little stain on it 20:00

A Great job?!….if you were around in the late 18 hundreds you could have been one of the most popular and richest men in town………
