Gunleather in use:
Group of us got together on Father's Day and went out to our little range at our ranch. Had numerous rounds of ammo that just needed to be gone through. Four new guns to shoot for the first time too. A brass framed Henry in .22 mag, a 5" Kimber in .45, Glock 9mm and a AR15. Had lots of the old standbys on hand too. Afterwards came back to the house and Nichole grilled ribeyes, crab legs and corn on the cob while us fathers sat on the patio and smoked a cigar, sipped a single malt (Macallan), told stories and made the ice cream. Good day.
Everytime I see this scabbard I think of what a nice piece of leather it came from. Wickett and Craig 8 to10 oz saddle skirting. I made three scabbards out of this one side and numerous smaller items. This was probably the singularly nicest piece of leather I've ever worked with, from any tannery, period. Winchester Mod 94 30-30 inside.
Big Ty and his wife Cara. He's got a Ruger Blackhawk .357 in the Rangeflap holster and looks like she's working with my .380 Bersa.
Tyler working a cap and ball.
Butt forward IWB slip holster.
Trying out one of our new beltless sheath. Ken thinks this system might make a decent holster too and I'm still contemplating this thought.
Nichole putting a couple mags through the Kimber.
Not real gunny but check out Nichole's bracelet made for her by a friend that was shooting with us that day. One long strand of leather, tied into an Alomar knot, tied into an Alomar knot, tied into an Alomar knot etc. Pretty dang cool.
This old Rangelfap has been around the block a couple of times. For a Ruger Vaquero (old model) in .45 LC.
Old guy can still dance the cans. Henry .22mag. (edit to add) This pic was staged with an empty gun. I was demonstrating how to shoulder a lever gun and then work it from the shoulder for repeat shots for a couple of folks that were interested.
Looked down and there is this piece of worked flint, an old knife perhaps, maybe a hide scraper? Too thick for an arrowhead. Thats an old .45 LC case too. But even that old round doesn't date back to the stoneage like the other. Our range is across a dried creekbed and further upstream are numerous grinding stones. Folks been around here for a while.
