May need a new rig, Who can you reccomend

[BobinIL]

I am starting to get the urge to buy a set of those new Vaquero's.  To do so, I would need to sell my old ones and my holsters will no longer fit the NMV.  I bought my rig from San Pedro saddlry about 3 or 4 years ago.  I have the standard cartridge belt and Big Ed holsters RH cross and RH standard.  I really like this rig alot but from reading on the net it looks like Big Ed is swamped.  I assume the new Vaquero's will fit in a SAA holster.  Who wold you reccomend for a new rig in about the same price rage as San Pedro

I would say that any of the pards here who do leather professionally would be able to fill your needs. Perhaps they will reply to your post or pm you on this. I can't recommend any one over the others because, from what I've seen, they all put out quality rigs. OK, pards, belly up and let him know what you can do.

I have found alot of the big leather companies are really behind in their orders.  Even El Paso is behind in a shipment to me.  I would not hesitate to use someone off of CAS City especially if they can have a better turnaround time.  Safe shooting. Deadeye.

Tell us all about your dream holsters.  You may get some ideas, from a broader base, to include in your specs.  Looking at a new shotshell belt the Marshall made recently has got me wanting one similar to it mighty bad, sometimes others see what we miss.  I personally consider some of these guys here to be world class.  At the top of the forum is a running list of recent work done by many of the craftsmen here, look for the post titled "show us your stuff".

    I'd look at different folks' work, first. It's best to find someone whose style matches what you want, than to have someone try to match their work to your style. I've found that Nevada guys favor straight lines and angular patterns, while guys from the mountain states favor curvy, stylised lines.

    Another thing to consider is, how much do you want to spend? I make all my stuff so most folks can afford it, but tough enough that it'll likely outlast you. BUT, I don't do a hell of a lot of tooling, either.

    If you're shooting stainless guns, like I do, there's no need to pay for lined holsters, unless you just want to spend another hundred dollars.
