Good looking straps BB. I have been working on my first loops (mine on slides for cartridge and shotgun) and my loops do not come near the quality of yours. But then I am a newbie. Anyway, you give me a goal to achieve someday - loops that look like Boothill Bob's.

Thanx Long Juan

Whats the problem with your loops?

Long Juan · November 30, 2011, 04:47:14 PM

They are functional, just not as neat and good looking as yours. Will post pic when I finish the shotgun project. Have completed cartridge slides for my grandson and daughter.

Do that, i love to see your work pard...

Bob, here you go - two pics of the slide for my daughter, Sterling Sage, and one of the slide for my grandson, Wasabe. Not great pics, but they are what I have for now. Wasabe's was my first slide and my first ever attempt at loops. Sterling Sage's was my second on both counts. Mistakes in both. Most notably, I stamped the G in Sage backwards and did my best to correct. And there I thought I was being so careful. I am now working on shotgun slides.

There is nothing wrong with those loops LJ

Very nice work.

Some of the most interesting ones I have seen actually incorporate Rifle, shotgun and one mag pouch onto a strap. Not sure but I think Jack Houston(?) might have made the version I saw and it was designed exactly for the needs at the loading table, spares are best addressed from a belt or slide. Yours is pretty close to there, add a tight loop/strap that will accommodate a loaded magazine on the block and your there.

I will do that slowhand. I looked at the one that you mean and I like that.
