I tried to buy the Hand of God at my local Tandy, not knowing at the time that it was not carried by them. Seems like a no-brainer. Hollywood tie in and one of the nicest holsters ever brought out in a pattern, and also not too difficult to do on the leather side of thing, though the carving is up for grabs and depends what a person can bring. BUt anyway, I was looking to buy them at Tandy.

The Tandy stuff is focused to a south west or biker look. They are adding steam punk and other looks all the time, but those two are the bulk of it. Any chance to tie into the broader culture while staying with their roots is brilliant.

Any idea if Tandy has decided to sell the pattern?

I suspect that we will be waiting a little longer on the word.

Now for the bad news, I think. On the mag pouch listed as competition model, as I am now reading the WB rules I see there is something about mags must hang straight. I have not asked for anything official but these do have a bit of a slant, forming a V. Will might need to look into this if it isn't to late for a change.

The last I heard from TLF, (last week), they are interested in the 1911, Hand of God, Flames of Hell, and Johnny Ringo rigs. The Ringo rig will be offered with stock TLF conchos. I'm tryin' to get the Flames of Hell pattern done this week and shipped off to Fort Worth. Finished the prototype for the envelope photos last night. Now I have to label everything, write whatever instructions need to be included, do some sketches and put it all together. Just not enough hours in the day.

Oh, I cant wait for the Flames of hell, love that holster. When you say stock TLF conchos for the Ringo rig, does that means that if I want the Good stuf I have to order them from you Will

BTW, thanx for the scabbard pattern

Hey BB,

That's what it means. I offered TLF the Ringo conchos, but they didn't want to add them to their inventory at this time. They may reconsider if enough folks ask for 'em.

Will

Boothill Bob · « **Reply #126 on:** November 29, 2011, 11:26:52 AM »

What the heck, they cant make the Ringo rig without the real stuf. I think that we all shell ask for the real conchos so they take them in stock. I know that I will.

Dalton Masterson · « **Reply #127 on:** November 29, 2011, 12:39:03 PM »

But if they took them into their stock, would they be as nice of a concho as what we get from Will?
If they turn into the cheaper made conchos, will you still offer the good ones, Will?

Boothill Bob · « **Reply #128 on:** November 29, 2011, 01:24:39 PM »

No, I buy the best ones. I was thinking that they would buy Wills chonchos.

will ghormley · « **Reply #129 on:** November 29, 2011, 07:50:32 PM »

If TLF does add the Ringo Conchos to their inventory, they would be made overseas and would be less expensive. I will continue to offer the conchos I make until TLF offers something accurate that is as good. I think next time I have the conchos made, I'll ask for Chicago Screw backs. That would make the conchos more expensive, but they would be easier to use. I suggested to TLF that if they do adopt the conchos they add Chicago Screws. They could do it without adding too much extra expense.

Heard from TLF late yesterday. By the time the patterns work their way through the process, the printing, and distribution, it will most likely be after the first of the year before they are available. The good news is, it looks like they are on their way, (nutnin' set in stone till I have the P.O.s in my hands!).

That's great, Will. I'm happy for you. Skeet

Wolf Tracker · « **Reply #133 on:** December 01, 2011, 04:42:58 PM »

Will that is good news. I'm sure your happy after all the hard work. Can't wait to get a set.

will ghormley · « **Reply #134 on:** December 01, 2011, 09:38:52 PM »

Hey Wolf Tracker,

I'll be happy when the check's been cashed, and I've changed the greenbacks into somethin' with real value, like cold steel and lead. Till then, it's all just smoke...

Just got the word from TLF. In February 2012, you'll be able to pick up:

1911 100th Anniversary Pattern

So, stop by your local Tandy Leather Store in February.

Thanks guys!

Slickshot, TLF intends to pick up the moc patterns when I re-work them into a multi-size format like the rest of their moc patterns. Ill start workin' on that project when I get some of the other things I'm workin' on out of the way.
