I have been meaning to post this. I got a chest rig from Back Country Leather goods( Big Bore on here) recently. I looked at one of these when we went hog hunting in Texas back in April and really liked it. This thing is a work of art. Very comfortable and very well thought out. It has a ton of adjustment built in so no problem even with a coat on. I can raise it as high as chest level or down to my tummy. I had him make one holster for my 4" Redhawk and one for a long slide Glocks. This is intended for my bear protection rig. I will try to take a pic of me wearing it in a few days. I like quality and this is quality that is right there with my leather from Doc Barranti and Rob Leahy. I am going to use it tree stand hunting in a few weeks. Needless to say I am very happy with it.  |

I've worn mine with and without a jacket so far carrying a 6-1/2" Blackhawk. Works great both ways. Easy on. Easy off. Very secure and comfortable. Really out of the way, yet quickly drawn from. Love it.
The only thing I would maybe change is making the length off the over-the-shoulder strap adjustable. But it's darn good how it is too.
I have El Paso, Barranti,Simply Rugged, Galco, and even Lawrence. It's as well built as any of these.
He's working out a design for a new holster for me now. I highly recommend this holster rig and his company.

I stole this pic from Randy's posts but I don't think he will mind. This is Randy wearing one of these. IN the pic he has it pulled up high. I set mine a bit lower.  |

AND, AS THEY SAY DOWN SOUTH TEXAS WAY, RANDY es buena gente (A GOOD GUY). Yes he is. It was fun watching him hit steel at 100 yards with Skeeter's 41 Redhawk. |

I was having terrible trouble with my new glasses. With open sights I couldn't see the sights and targets together past 25 yards. Progressive trifocals with near sighted right eye and far sighted left eye and astigmatism in both eyes. It aint for shooting. I did OK with the scopes since I could make my opticle correction with the scopes. |

It's coming. As more people find out you are making good leathers, more people will order.
For example, I could have picked a number of established holster makers for the pancake you're making for the Blackhawk. I chose you for a reason.

It's got ME thinking....
When I saw that original picture (Bigbore's) some time back, it seemed perfect for what I want/need.
I tried one made of synthetics and was not happy with the fit/feel of the thing, though it was very nicely made. Since it was not a custom item, I opted to return it and the folks were very good to deal with. Just didn't "ride" well for me.
I especially like the conservative aesthetic, where the only "decoration" is the quality of material and workmanship. Very tough to hide flaws on a piece of work which has no ornamentation to distract the eye. My preference anyway. I think a fella who can make something that plain look that good is pretty much on the top of the heap in his field.
