Got one for you right here in west Houston. Go to www.thecowboyshop.com This is C&J Traders. Just picked my rig up yesterday and will be posting pic's when I get the time (down with a bad knee right now

)
I got two holsters, one strong side, one cross draw, belt (w/o bullet loops) a SASS badge holder and an 8 round shotgun slide. Star conchos on the holsters and belt.
Had to wait awhile but do like what I got

Bill, I have always been extreemly pleased with El Paso Saddlery holsters. Haven't seen anything that compares in quality for the price. 44 Man

Black Hills Leather has a nice single rig, Tombstone model, for $159 (make sure you mention the web-site special). I ordered one and am very pleased with it - I highly recommend their work. The bullet loops are 'pull-through' type for durability. The belt and holster are fully lined. Very good leather and good worksmanship.

They customized my belt to hold 45/70 and .44 Mags. A well made rig for a very good price.

Why SanPedro Saddlery of course. Big Ed is out newest advertiser and when Matt finally gets his "round tuit" that banner will be right here on this page with Jimmy's at the top of the page.

I to would have to put a vote in for Big Ed of San Pedro Saddlery, the quality and workmanship is excellant and the price is extremly reasonable, I think my rig cost about 180.00 two strongsides, cartridge belt, shotgun slide. That said R.M Bachman from Montana I believe makes some beutifull leather as well. Take Care,DRD

I heartily recommend 4EyedBill at Leather and Guns. Man did he ever build me a nice rig and to my exacting specs for my '58 Remingtons. Heavy duty and great looking. Fully lined and just perfect. I have him building me another rig for my Old Armies right now. Great prices too.

I really like Big Eds banner ad. That stands out. I should go on to say that I also have San Pedro leather and it is first rate too. I love San Pedro spur straps with the peso on them a lot.

San Pedro Saddlery Big Ed makes very high quality goods, lifetime guarentee, at a good price.

Old West Reproductions are reputed to make some really good authentic reproductions.

There are a lot of leather makers out there now, many are really good, but I've NEVER heard anything bad about these two.
