Work in progress

[Slowhand Bob]

Well I finally got around to doing a quick and simple pattern for the Wild Bunch magazines and am trying to bring it all together with a elt designed just for the WB rig.  So far the holster and mag pouches are complete and the picture simply shows them mounted on the two inch strap that I cut to use on the belt.  The holster will get a simple strap style safety loop and is punched for it already.  Perhaps I can get a photo of the mag pouch back later to show how they came together there.  Each individual  pouch element is the same simple ones I use, with a belt loop riveted on, for singles. 

I plan to try the modular design again on the belt for this one.  Right now my idea is a two inch section for each end, one with billet attached and other end with chape attached.  These sections will furnish the area on which the holster and mag pouches ride while there will be a third section for additional shot shell and rifle rounds.  These three two inch sections will be connected by two 1 1/2" straps.  Sounds weird and will probably look that way also but its jusdt one of those ideas that I need to get outta my head.  (I figure the more you guys hate it the more Rick and I will like it!!!!)  Basically this is still some odd ball leather that I need to use up and it makes for fun experiments.

Once again I am following your progress closely Robby. I've made a half dozen mag holders various ways with various shapes, but have yet to do anything I want to repeat!

By morphing several patterns friends on this forum have sent me (Thanks everyone!) I've come up with a 1911 holster that seems to work fine, but mag holders have so far escaped me. 

I've tried to avoid ones that need a lot of sewing, just because I'm so slow at it.

I agree with KT; it looks like you are on the right track

That looks like a good rig. The mag pouches should do the job nicely. Good spacing on them. Nice job.

Not sure how I missed this post the first time through Bob, but I did. I'm really loving the mag pouches. Cool design. I'll be lookin for the post of the finished belt. Keep us posted pard!

I want to bump this up in hopes that Slowhand Bob will have something to report before too long
