Default DIY Pistol Hangers

I don't know if this is the right place but for you cheap do-it-yourselfers like me, here is how to save a little cash. I made 4 hangers for about $6 instead of $20 or more retail.

Need
3/16 metal rod
3/16 shrink wrap
3/16 shelving caps

3/16 will support anything .25 acp (barrel wise) to 45acp (weight wise)

i cut mine at 22" and then bend at 5", 6", 16" and 16 7/8"

Or you can "peg" them in wood and get fancier

From a fellow "cheapskate"(no offense meant).....I just made some of these. Mine didn't turn out as nice though.
