Better look out keith,

Report is she can outshoot us both.

I'm not touching this with thirty fooooooot pole. I spent all day chasing my tail, DBA, county court house, etc. I did get a start on a pink BBQ rig for the Mrs. for Christmas, but still several hours from finished.

EDIT: Got her done;



As far as shooting, Mrs. RiverRat can take me any day or night. She grew up on a West Texas cattle ranch. She learned watching her Dad and Granddad shoot grasshoppers of the hood of their pickups without hitting the truck with hand guns. They must have had a lot of time and a lot of ammo........and better trucks than I have. I'm not trying it with my truck!

Edit; her Dad was an Olympic competitor with hand guns in the fifties. He IS a good shot today in his high 70's today. (he carries a 1911 daily but prefers a long gun)

I'm not a big pink fan, but if you decide to do black with purple trim, I'm your gal! Let me know...I just love customized gun accessories!

Here you go, T. 3 trys purple...one plain purple....one purple with black.....one purple with white......no black with purple. The flash is doing funky things to the color, sorry. It seems to emphasis the blue and filter out the red in the purples. The purple slab of leather in the top is the bottom photo holster.






I think I can pull off black with purple trim now....black wicks and bleeds, but with TLC should be possible.

I told you guys RiverRats tooling would rival Tucker.

Awesome! TLynn you need one in purple with black trim!

Some good looking holsters... good job!

I know!!! Isn't it FABULOUS!?! RiverRat and I have been PMing for a bit now. When I brought up purple on here, he decided to take the challenge. I love the color, the design and everything! He does some good work!!!

T.

I want to see it as soon as you get one!

Absolutely!!! And I'm thinking I might get this holster for the Spartan I'm going to get this year. Gives me an excuse (not that I need one) to get the gun...

I'm still just speechless that RiverRat was successful with the purple. He was explaining the issues to me and he worked really hard to get the purple and black! I can't wait to work out the details with him.

I have been in contact with Cotton now for a while since this thread started. I already told him the first order is a full matching belt, holster, double mag and knife pouch set. I just about figured out the style and combination and now I see this! What I am suppose to do? This is really making me think of not just the first batch but the follow up. Really good lucking style and color combos. Boy we got it lucky in this group guys. Nice work Cotton.

Hey Gary,
Don't jump the gun on your design wants. T. just got my motor started with the purple/black. I'm seeing time as my enemy with all of the stuff you could do with custom designs and color you can do in holster leather.....only limited by money and imagination. I can't build holsters out of scrap pieces of leather fast enough to try out the stuff I want to. I really want to try out some abstract tooling designs....I like western floral, but........

The bad news is that I talked to Mr. Tucker at Tucker Gunleather today and he has the copyright on his HF1 holster design, and I won't be able to duplicate it and sell it. He was very gracious and made some suggestions as to changes so I wouldn't be in infrigement of his intellectual property and design rights . The bottom line is that I will have to make a new design of my own. I knew that one was on your list of wants. I'll give it some thought this week and see what I can come up with. In essence, I will have to vary the appearance without compromising the function. No hill for a stepper. It's a new year and I need a challenge.

wow.

just amazing work.
I may just need a new holster.... :-)
