Took a Holster that I made several years ago for a friend's Pocket Pistol, cut off the skirt and turned it into a "Huckleberry" style shoulder Rig.

Looks good, Johnny. Is that an old H&R in it?

Thanks for the kind words Marshall. It's a Smith & Wesson 3rd Model in .38 S&W. Made in 1885 or 1886.

JM,
Is that your design?  I like it.  Also, that is a great looking brown dye job.  What dye did you use?

My good friend Johnny converted this holster for me. I spent a couple days in Tombstone in January
and learned about Doc Holliday carrying a Colt lightning in a shoulder holster. I have an original
lightning that I thought would be cool to carry like he did. We talked a few times and I sent
a picture of a Heiser shoulder rig that he patterned it off of. I'm very happy with it  Thanks Johnny!!

P.S. Open carry was not allowed in Tombstone, but certain people could get a concealed carry
permit, so imagine a hot tempered drunk like Holliday carrying???

As Bear tooth Billy mentioned, this is a duplicate of his original Heiser Shoulder Rig. Billy sent me a pattern and I attached a Holster to it that I had previously made for him. I did mount the Holster to this rig with a slight cant.

The finish is my usual two to three hours in Home Brewed Walnut Dyed followed by two coats of Neet's Foot Oil and two coats of Skidmores Leather Crème.

Howdy Skeeter,

That is one beautiful Holster. I love the finish. It has a nice aged look.

It was a genuine pleasure viewing the picture albums of your work. Your workmanship is first class.
                                 (look under "I've got more work here")

Thanks for sharing it with us.

I have got to quit viewing this thread!  It gets me all inspired and I already have 15 (soon to be 16) holsters for only 10 pistols!

Just finished a Buscadero Rig for a fellow Shooter. This Shooter has a 37" sleeve length so I added an extra 2" to the drop compared to the Rig he replaced. This was my first Buscadero Rig. Lot of work in one of these!

Muy bueno, JM!  I particularly like the shape of the belt.  I like those conchos as well.  I used them on my favorite wife's rig.
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the kind words Troy. The belt shape is a direct copy of the Rig this one replaces. The rest of the Rig is what he wanted from other projects I've done.
