Just finished this one today. How do you carry yours?

I don't carry mine much, but when I do its in a 30 year old Galco western style holster. I'm typically not a big Galco fan, and while its rather plain, it is very well made. Mine is fully lined, and after that many decades I expect to have issues with the liner, and I haven't.

Galco makes quality stuff!

Yep. I wear their gun belt every day for concealed carry. This is my rig for my SAA, though, which is made by El Paso Saddlery.

That belt is a reproduction of the belt typically worn by John Wayne in his Westerns.

PS I made a mistake above suggesting that my belt and holster were made by Galco. I do wear a Galco belt for concealed carry, but the belt and holster pictured above is actually from El Paso Saddlery, not Galco.

Greg, did you make that holster by hand?
Posted By: gregintenn Re: Colt SAA Leather - 03/31/23
Yes sir.

Indeed, very nice holster. Greg, do you sew by hand or with a sewing machine? Do you have any pictures to show us some steps of making holsters? Do you also make belts?

I do make belts. I only sew by hand. I do not have pictures of the steps involved, but a quick google search will find you a wealth of information.
