Mike did a very good job on this holster, considering it was his first attempt at one.  He says he has learned a lot and the next one won’t take as long. I am already planning my next one!
That's an awesone Holster especially for a first attempt. Look forward to seeing future projects.

The Longbranch / Sharps pistol

I’ve looked for a VERY long time for a replica Sharps four barrel that was in good shape and a reasonable price. Got one finally and it works perfectly after a bit of cleaning and some oiling. Prefect for thouse across the table disputes that you don’t want to pull your six gun! Now where’s my deck of cards?

:) Hey Rube  ;)

Listen Rube.  Ya gotta be some more careful about spreading them Accolade's on Mike Bracket at Goonsgunworks.  Swell his head much more an he won't be able to get thru his shop door  ;D  Whilst a tad unconventional, Mike's work is absolutely top drawer.

A point worth mentioning about the 1871/72 Open Top as manufactured by Uberti.  Unless Uberti had done something absolutely stupid, the Open Top is a Chameleon.  The Open Top is available in Three different cartridges.  .38Spl, 44 Spl, and 45 Colt.  Once the Arbor Fit has been corrected, and a nice Action Job completed, with just minor fitting, ALL THREE cartridges can be shot on a singe frame just by changing out the Cylinders and Barrels.  In the past, also available in ALL the popular barrel lengths and Taylor's also include a really neat SNUBBIE.

The Other Mike

That has already crossed my mind. I thought about doing a set of opentops as a set with swapable 44/45 cylinders.

   Why thank you esteemed "Builder of Burial Boxes" for the compliments  AND the new rattle in my head !!!
  A "multi caliber" setup on a "mono-frame is genius and gives me ideas that I figured were pretty well easily kept at bay, but thanks to you sir,  that thought is gaining space in my  "bwain"!!!!!
 
  Rube !  See what stuff like this starts  ?!!!!

Thanks Rube!!!!   I 'preciates  ya both !!!!!  Now, if I can just get my cute little "pug" nose past the door frame I think I can get in and get to work !!!!

You might just need to get one of them fancy large roll up doors to be able to walk in easily.  ;D

Thank you for a fine review and sharing the history of the gun itself.

No problem. Thanks for watching.

A clear plastic bag wrapped around the gun before you take those parts down works great to catch flying springs and detents.

Badger

That is a great idea in general.  I may have to do that with certain guns.

His First ? !!!!  :o  that holster is fabulous, it suits the Smith beautifully….

I may have lead you to think this was his first holster. That is not correct.  It was his first attempt at the Sunday Scabbard.

Mike is an accomplished leather worker.
