I wanted to let the group know of a company that services us in the "Cowboy Way." In college we have heard of the freshman 20, but I also learned in retirement there is a retirement 40. Due to this unexpected "growth " in my retirement plan, I needed to adjust my shotgun shell belt. I originally purchased mine from El Paso Saddlery, and living locally I went to the store yesterday. Due to the design of the belt, there is not way to lengthen the belt, so I had to order a new belt. Ken Smith and his belt makers there made an extension piece for me so I can still use the belt until my new belt is completed. They also modified the old belt to allow a better ease of access for my shells due to my growth. When all was done they did not charge me for the modifications and they informed me due to their warranty, the new belt is free when it is completed. All I have to do is give them the old belt back to them when I pick up my new belt. This allows me to continue practicing until the new belt is completed.
I also needed a new belt for my rig and upon learning of the warranty, I purchased a new rig from them as well. I am not the fastest gunslinger out there and I know there are other GREAT manufacturers of rigs the winners use who provide a similar level of service. Just wanted to share my experience with this fine company that has a lineage back to the 1800's.
