His rig in The Shootist was made by Hunter. It's a straight belt slightly tapered at the buckle. The seperate steel lined pouch is screwed onto the heavy backskirt which then folds over and the belt can be slid through it. There is no cant, or angle, like on the rig we usually associate with him and so many of you have pictured here. My first rig, modified with a new steel lined pouch (but laced, not stiched) was a Hunter outfit my dad made me when I was a kid. See how the holster compares with J.B. Books rig. John Wayne used the most generic rig possible for his last film. Maybe he had to get something quick if he was indeed losing weight at the time and these were accesible fast. Whatever the case, it looked fine in what might be arguably (Sorry, Eathan Edwards) his best role.
