My TV western gun and holster rig

[Wyatt Burp]

Here's an early Arvo Ojala holster I bought and cleaned up then made this belt for it. I used my other Ojala rig to make the belt pattern. The gun is a 4 3/4" 1911 SAA rebuilt in 1969 into a .45 and the grips are like Matt Dillon's and many other TV stars used. The holster strap is up on the belt at the moment just because that's how Robert Fuller wore his so why not.

Hunter made holsters in that style also. A LGS has a semi-trailer full of them at $10 each in the 90's I bought about 20 for different single actions. The 10 1/2" Super Blackhawk holster also fits Colt Walkers! I think the Single Six holster fits the 1860 Army. I have a bunch for Vaqueros also. I would find Tripple K gun belts and pair them up, that's how I could afford to outfit 4 of us for SASS shoots! (It is pretty easy to share guns at a shoot, it is very rough to try and share gun leather!)

Wyatt,
Cool photo and would be even cooler if there were bullets in the loops. A fine rig you have there.
