Just curious.

    I read in another thread that you were looking for a Ruger Red Label. I too am considering buying one of these. What model do you like? What made you decide on one of these?

    I have been considering the 12Ga 28" bbl model; I'm just waiting for a good deal to come my way. [:D]

    I have on old leather gun belt that needs a new belt and some work on the holster. Are you interested in doing it??? If so, there is no time constraints and I want to pay you upfront for the work.I am in no rush to have the job done so think about it. I would send you the belt and you can look at it and give me some ideas. Oakie

    I received my holster that you so generously gave to me today, I say holster, but it's more like a work of art than a holster. Thank you so much for your generosity. Now to clean the dust of my wallet and go buy a firearm that will fit it. Oh the horror of it [:D][:D][:D] But seriously, I've been thinking about buying a pistol small enough to carry, and this has made my mind up. Thank you

    Thank you again for your generosity.

    Your work is beautiful. You put me in sports and i can hold my on.

    I can not see in my head pictures to draw. Even when my Dad tried to teach me to play guitar i have no ear for music. My Dad could hear a song one time and play it. I never got past the holding the guitar because im left handed i wanted to hold it upside down. That ended the lesson. LOL

    Now with work all you have to do is give me a machine and i can wire it up, run air to it, and run eathernet to the machine.

    My granddaughter and i were drawing and she asked me to draw a cow. I drew a cow for her and then she said draw me a dog so i drew her a dog. After that she asked me to draw a cat so i drew her a cat.

    She looked at all three and asked me why do they all look the same except some are bigger. They were all the same except for the size. The cow was the biggest. LOL

    Its bad when a 5 year old talks junk about your drawing.

    Congrats on your talent. I do not have that. I can catch a ball like crazy. Baseball or football it does not matter.

    1911a1-fan,

    If the hammer is down on a live round, you have to manually cock it for the first round to fire...single action style...after that it's rock & roll time...[:p]

    Trinity +++



    you are right, and you are wrong

    a 1911 is only a single action, and should never have the hammer down on a live round EVER , the actions you describe does not alter the guns design, you just take extra unnecessary steps


    not that i know anything about them [:D]

    You were saying that you don't have a mold gun for the 1911 to make holsters with

    I bought one of these to train my draw with from Midway. It's less than $20 with shipping, they are the exact size and shape of a full-size 1911. I don't know if that'll work for you, but you might want to check it out

    https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/158673/cold-steel-1911-rubber-training-pistol?utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Shooting - Range Accessories&utm_content=158673&cm_mmc=pf_ci_google-_-Shooting - Range Accessories-_-Cold Steel-_-158673&gclid=CjwKCAiAk4XUBRB5EiwAHBLUMbSsB6NlitakME-z5um9vZiyg3LRZiARv7LWWozG_eke9q4ufszb3hoCekIQAvD_BwE

    Also you said you had some left-handed 1911 holsters on the shelf that you said you are having a hard time moving. Are any of them full size IWB? I might be interested in taking one off your hands if you put it on the auction side

    Let me know if you would please

    I have been drooling over your leatherwork. It is beautiful.

    I have often thought of trying my hand at it. Is it terribly difficult? Does it take years and years to get passably good?

    Any good How-To books or other sources you could recommend?

    Thanks.

    Sir I am looking to try to make some leather knife sheaths for myself. I have no leather working experience but have admired your work here on GB. I was wondering if you would be so kind as to point me in the right direction as to a supplier for the leather and tools I would need as well as what leather and tools you would recommend. Thank you in advance, Ricci Wright.
