Many thanks for the kind words G.W. I'm in the process of making a mate for your Holster.

Ii was a genuine pleasure to watch G.W (Hoppy) shoot his first NCOWS match. He shot Black Powder and had a grin on from ear to ear. Attached is a picture of G. W. making some smoke.

From the looks of that picture it was mid way through the string of shots because it is mighty smoky!

I am the lucky friend who this holster is for. I could not be happier with it. I will see it in person tomorrow and get to use it on Sunday.


Johnny,
Your work is awesome and I am extremely proud to wear it. Thank you so much.




I too am a lucky owner of a Johnny McCrae made holster ...John I still use it as my CCW
He's one FINE fellow.... :D

I stumbled on to this little gem on GB a few months ago.
USPFA BP Frame 3 1/2 " in 45 Colt, so I opted to make a carry holster & belt

The buckle is a CW Era Florida Buckle , the color is Med. Brown cut to 20% and finished with Skidmores.


I had posted an earlier holster I made for it

Hi,

Here is a more traditonal Fla. rig .... something near what my great grandpa might have worn ...

The buckle is another Fla early buckle like Major 2s (it is right next to the D-Guard of the Bowie). The belt was hand-made and dyed in vinagaroon, and even 'though the holster, cap pouch and cartridge box was commercial, it was redyed in vinagaroon ( so now the innards look used .... the holster was vacuum-molded to a '58 Remmie and looks kinda lived in to ... the end of the project was to give the leather the look that it had been in a war and well cared for).

My moniker is my great grandfather's name. He served with the 2nd Florida Mounted Regiment in the Civil War. Afterward, he came home, packed his wife into a wagon, and was one of the first NorteAmericanos on the Frio River southwest of San Antonio ..... Kinda where present day Dilley is ...

Some 19th century pants from the pattern by Laughing Moon. Cross pockets, fly button, welt pockets at the back and a back-strap.

Hi,

I Forgot to mention that I took the wood innards from the cartridge belt, and over-bored the holes to fit Maynard cartridges.

I then dyed the block with a mix of Golden Oak and Spanish Oak Minwax that I had lying around ...so the wood looks well used and kinda dirty ... 'well used' in a nutshell ....

I was getting started CAS and spending so much money on guns, clothes and leather, I started trying to make my own.  I practiced by making some belts for my wife and daughter.  I then moved to making some belts for birthday and Christmas presents.  I have been stalking this forum for the past few months picking up how-to's and tips, and I wanted to show off my latest shotgun belt, nothing fancy but I like the way it turned out.

That came out really good-looking, David. I like the way you stamped the end with a flower center to terminate it. Very cool.
