Show Off Your Non-Cowboy Stuff Here

[Marshal Will Wingam]

We're going to try something different here. This forum is for cowboy or CAS related leather but occasionally something is made that's a cross-over item that pards want to share. Maybe it's a modern design with cowboy elements in it or a cowboy item with modern touches. Let's post that kind of thing here. Threads that get started that should be here will get moved by the moderators. This thread is on a trial basis. Let's see how it works out.

Thanks,

Marshal Will

Here is a Holster I just finished for a friend.
This is the second holster that I have sold ,I have made a couple of dozen for myself over the years but I probably made more than
hundred knife sheaths.

Nice holster, Ed. looks good with the border stamping. Thanks for sharing.

Okay,

I will start this show off ... My Model 98 Mauser 7X57 ...



My Wobbley Mk VI .455  Cal. with Korean War/Conflict/Police Action holster and belt ...



My Boer War era holster & Wobbley; still looking for a Sam Brown for it ...

  just traded for this,i had those giant Watusi horns and asked a horner if he would like them,he gave me this in trade..

[Drayton Calhoun]

Hey, Wadd, I used to have one just like it! Wish I still did. Question, when you fire it with .45 ACP, do you get that weird almost whistle sound? It always reminded me of the spaghetti western sound effects.

[WaddWatsonEllis]

Drayton,

No whistles, but the flames coming sideways out of the cylinder always scares anyone shooting next to me ... *S*

I have just started an experiment with the Wobbly and ammo ... I have bought 50 Auto-Rim .45 casings and am going to load them fairly conservatively to keep the cylinder (and my fingers) in one piece ... I am going to load some of the casings this weekend and will let you know how it went ...

TTFN,

[Marshal Will Wingam]

WW, you may want to try the Cowboy 45 Special brass as an option if the auto rims don't work out for you.

I got them Marshall and they work great. I have a 160grn bullet and 2.5grn BA10 powder, gives a recoil like a 22
And when I shooting the holy smoke I dont need any filler.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

I think they'd be perfect for BP, Henrik. I tried them with 165 gr bullets and a full load of Trail Boss. They were OK but I need to work up a better load than that.

[WaddWatsonEllis]

Marshall.

The main reason I went with the .45 Auto Rim is so that it visually was different than the .45 Schofields that I shoot ... 'cause once the rounds are fired in the .455, they end up stretching a bit (in diameter) so that they have to be resized to shoot in any .45 ... I shoot slow enough without the jams that would occur in my Uberti '73 Winchester (if I loaded it with the Webley ammo after it had been shot in that pistol. The rifle  is set for .45 LC and will just barely accept the OAL of a Schofield).

'And', as Mr Harvey used to say,' that is the rest of the story'.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Cool, WW. Sounds like a plan.

Thanks Marshalll....here is a couple shots of me with the Chest Holster that I designed.






The pic was taken on our ranch in Montana and the gun is a 4" S&W model 500. The rig is the 7X Leather Chest Rig.

Nice pictures Freedom, and a very nice design, a great way to carry a mountain gun all day long, thanks for sharing pard, and good to have you back.

Carved and stamped on 14 0unce leather. Still have to put a boarder and backing on it. Used paints and dyes on it. KT
