Gunbelt and Holster Rigs 

A classic design that provides a great way to carry your handgun while in the great outdoors. 

Options are available whether you need a complete gunbelt and holster rig built to your specifications or simply a quality cartridge belt to carry an existing holster.  Rigs can be built in straight, "Eastwood" or "Ranger" styling.  The cartridge loop carriers can be permanently attached or removable, depending on your needs.  Removable cartridge carriers are great if you carry more than one caliber and don't want multiple rigs.

If my customer only needs a cartridge belt to go with their holsters, I offer a full range of custom cartridge belts built to the customer's specifications.  Here's an example of belt.  This belt is an "Eastwood-style" belt...2" wide and necked down to 1 1/2" for the hardware.  It is a "buckskin" color and includes a simple border tooling pattern.  The belt has 18 cartridge loops for 38 Special/357 Magnum rounds centered in the back.

My cartridge loops are created by "weaving" the loops through a front panel and then glued and stitched to the back panel.  This creates a very strong, durable design that isn't subject to broken or worn stitches.

Here's a "two gun" rig I made for a pair of Ruger Vaquero's with 4.62" barrels in 357 magnum. The belt is 3" wide with the buscadaro drops at 4". The belt is fully lined with a light tan suede to add a bit more body to the belt and make it more comfortable to wear. The belt also features 20 cartridge loops with star conchos. The holsters are "Mexican Loop" style and features thong hammer ties and the skirt loops and leg ties are secured with the same thong. The holsters and belt both feature a tooled running border design.

Here's an example of a typical custom made gunbelt and holster rig.  This rig has a fully lined and "snake skin" tooled holster for revolvers with barrels of 6 1/2", a 2" "Eastwood-style" belt necked down to 1 1/2", an extended "snake skin" tooled removable cartridge loop carrier for 357 Magnums and a two-tone color scheme.
