Many thanks for the kind words G.W. I'm in the process of making a mate for your Holster.

Ii was a genuine pleasure to watch G.W (Hoppy) shoot his first NCOWS match. He shot Black Powder and had a grin on from ear to ear. Attached is a picture of G. W. making some smoke.

[G.W. Strong]

From the looks of that picture it was mid way through the string of shots because it is mighty smoky!

I am the lucky friend who this holster is for. I could not be happier with it. I will see it in person tomorrow and get to use it on Sunday.


Johnny,
Your work is awesome and I am extremely proud to wear it. Thank you so much.

I too am a lucky owner of a Johnny McCrae made holster ...John I still use it as my CCW
He's one FINE fellow....

I stumbled on to this little gem on GB a few months ago.
USPFA BP Frame 3 1/2 " in 45 Colt, so I opted to make a carry holster & belt

The buckle is a CW Era Florida Buckle , the color is Med. Brown cut to 20% and finished with Skidmores.


I had posted an earlier holster I made for it

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Looks really good, Major. Very nice rig.

Hi,

Here is a more traditonal Fla. rig .... something near what my great grandpa might have worn ...

The buckle is another Fla early buckle like Major 2s (it is right next to the D-Guard of the Bowie). The belt was hand-made and dyed in vinagaroon, and even 'though the holster, cap pouch and cartridge box was commercial, it was redyed in vinagaroon ( so now the innards look used .... the holster was vacuum-molded to a '58 Remmie and looks kinda lived in to ... the end of the project was to give the leather the look that it had been in a war and well cared for).

Some 19th century pants from the pattern by Laughing Moon. Cross pockets, fly button, welt pockets at the back and a back-strap.

I'll by gosh take a pair of those. nice work~

[Marshal Will Wingam]

The rig does look as you wanted, WW. Looks great. Good job.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Nice looking pants, Skeet. Thanks for the look-see.

[Cliff Fendley]

Good lookin work here guys!

[WaddWatsonEllis]

Hi,

I Forgot to mention that I took the wood innards from the cartridge belt, and over-bored the holes to fit Maynard cartridges.

I then dyed the block with a mix of Golden Oak and Spanish Oak Minwax that I had lying around ...so the wood looks well used and kinda dirty ... 'well used' in a nutshell ....

[Marshal Will Wingam]

Very good idea, WW. The outfit really looks great, too.

I was getting started CAS and spending so much money on guns, clothes and leather, I started trying to make my own.  I practiced by making some belts for my wife and daughter.  I then moved to making some belts for birthday and Christmas presents.  I have been stalking this forum for the past few months picking up how-to's and tips, and I wanted to show off my latest shotgun belt, nothing fancy but I like the way it turned out.

Tornado, that belt looks good. I like the simple, clean look. Thanks for the pic.

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to more of your posts.

[mrsbraintan]

Those are beautiful pants!

[David Carrico]

I've been playing with my embosser again.

[Marshal Will Wingam]

That came out really good-looking, David. I like the way you stamped the end with a flower center to terminate it. Very cool.

[Ten Wolves Fiveshooter]

Looks great David, and I like that buckle too.
