After waiting 6 weeks to have it made, I got a double rig from Texas Gunslinger Co. I wanted something on the plain side, I might do some tooling myself and add a concho to the holster middle strap, but I'm happy with them as-is. The workmanship is excellent and the leather is first-rate. The setup is kind of stiff right now, but I'm going to treat the leather and try to soften it up and mold the holsters to the guns better. I wanted something a horseman would wear, rather than a gunslinger rig. The right side holster is for my 5-1/2" Uberti 1873 Colt clone, the cross-draw is for my 7-1/2" Taylor's Remington 1875 clone. I chose the cross-draw for the longer barrel, makes it easier to draw. The gun belt has 24 loops in back for cartridges. Both guns are chambered for .45 Colt. I've been thinking about joining SASS or a similar single action group and playing cowboy in my reclining years. Not interested in serious competition, but it looks like a lot of fun.
