Quick Question on Holster Rig

[Mark_Mark]

Nothing like a power mad jerk to ruin a day at the range. I don't go the one outside of Sierra Vista because of the same issues. First time I went it was wrecked by a real jackass, didn't go back for over 15 years, now it's 2 power mad women that really enjoy making someone miserable. I don't need to pay my hard earned cash to put up with being harassed and yelled at.

100%

at Renton Fish & Game. they have some world class trap including continental Trap. I LOVE trap, got a few nice Beretta but I LOVE shooting my Remington 870 express Walmart $160 special. Can hit 23 of 25 all day.

So I took out my 870 and the RO keep freaking out about my shotguns point up in the air when I was leaving the trap field… So, I got so pissed that he was messing with my game, that I took the barrel off and receiver in one hand and barrel in another hand. Never been back since!!! NOPE

Thanks Gary! I’m going to give them a call Monday and talk with someone about belt size. I’m 44 now and been floating between jean size 34-36 for the past 15 years. I don’t plan and getting any wider! lol… If I do, I’m going on a diet and start working out. I mean, a sexy cowboy like me need to keep his figure for the ladies!

I didn't plan on it either but after 55 or 60 your body just starts doing things ... can't see as well , weight is very hard to control , important body parts stop working like they used (the Blue Pills do not cure it) ... I never had hearing problems , now I'm half deaf andc say "What" way too much , it's insane ...getting old just Sucks Rocks !
I'm only trying to warn you .

it’s not about getting old, it’s about the journey… read that on a Seattle dating App billboard!

I can shoot in mine when the cows cooperate. Or I can shoot in the hayfield across the road when the grass isn't too high.

Thank God we have plenty of desert around us. Being on a gun range with a bunch of unfamiliar people makes me nervous anyway, let alone a dick for a range manager.

Hey cowboys, ya don't gain your weight on the hips where ya keep your rig.... unless you sway to the feminine ways and wear a dress and stockings...

 

[StrawHat]

El Paso is not the company it used to be. They now use a USA address, but the work is done elsewhere.

Find yourself a good leathersmith, here in the USA, to do the work. Several are members of this forum.

BS. I live down the road from them, went there about a month ago for no reason other than to look around. They do the work themselves. I can get pictures next time I'm there if you want.

my current colts is 7 1/2 and I want to wear them all day; in my Prius horse, walking to the backyard BBQ, poping a few at deer camp. these look very COMFORTABLE

 

[hawg]

Me personally I don't care for the rough out two tone look.

 

[Mark_Mark]

And eventually, I’ll get a more stiff Leather rig for smoking black powder at the Cowboy 3-Gun games.

Me personally I don't care for the rough out two tone look.

you like a clean look?

 

[Paul R Zartman]

Not sure that rig goes with a Prius...just saying

I don't like rough out leather and don't care for two tone. I don't care how scuffed and dirty it gets.

Nothing goes with a Prius.

don’t knock it till you try it! 50 MPG

 

[Paul R Zartman]

50 might is good, just not sure you can get in and out with 2 7.5 colts in your rig, let alone put the seat belt on. But I have a solution...

Ride in the Truck and your wife can drive you around....

Walking around with that rig, maybe. But any sitting with that rig and 7 1/2” barrels is going to be very uncomfortable.

In what state do you live you feel the need to carry two antiquated revolvers?

lol! I been a Uber driver on and off for 6 years in Seattle with a established 13,000+ people in and out of my car. Mostly factory service, except one oil change. Still don’t need to change the brake pads. Amazingly good car. Didn’t want one but it’s a car all other professional Uber drivers use, so had to have one.

From what I can find, this company with the name El Paso Saddlery, has been around since 1978. It is now owned by a parent company and the name is being used to help sales. That is a standard ploy with businesses, think S&W, Winchester, Henry et al.

I will continue to look for the rest of my research and post as I find things.

If you like the looks of the product, buy it! Just don’t be fooled by the hype they have been in business since the late 1880s.

From the site.


Actually El Paso Saddlery, now owned and operated by Bobby McNellis, goes back even farther than 1889, the year the Andrews and Hill Leather Co. became El Paso Saddlery. By 1889, much of the West had been tamed, but not the Southwest. The Mexican border from Texas through New Mexico and into Arizona would remain more than a little wild well into the 20th century. In fact, it still is in many places.

Tough men and tough conditions demanded tough leather and it was found in the shops of El Paso Saddlery and S.D. Myers. Eight years after El Paso Saddlery formed, S.D. "Tio Sam" Myers opened his leather shop in Sweetwater, Texas. It was 1897. Both companies would operate separately until the 1920s when El Paso became part of S.D. Myers, who had moved from Sweetwater to El Paso.


In the 1970s, S.D. Myers was sold and moved its operation to Oklahoma. At the same time, Bobby McNellis purchased the El Paso segment of the company and retained it in El Paso, making it the longest continuously operating company in the city. McNellis modernized the company by adding the latest designs in sixgun leather to go with the Western and military holsters already being produced. A look at the current El Paso Saddlery catalog, compared with an old S.D. Myers catalog, reveals that McNellis did more than simply purchase El Paso Saddlery, he also obtained the holster patterns of S.D. Myers. The excellent designs of both companies now continue under the El Paso Saddlery banner.
