Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 Saw this and was wondering if it is even legal in SASS? http://bridgeportrig.com/ cr
Banjer Pickett Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 As you can tell by my posts I am brand new to the world of SASS so I am asking politely why would this not be a legal rig? I am currently trying to build a set for myself and was wodering why this wouldn't be legal. I understand that the barrel could accidentally be swung behind you but I was going to incorporate a mechanism to prevent this. I had not planned on using mine for SASS as it would not resemble the "original" patent design and I would not want folks to think I was trying to gain an advantage. In fact it more closely resembles an open faced "speed" holster with a kydex shield to prevent tipping the barrel backwards as well as protecting the trigger from accidental discharge. It will also help protect the finish of your revolver from scratches etc. if you brush against something. Just curious as to what others think and not trying to be confrontational. I believe it was patented in 1887 by a fella' named Flatteau who was a sherriff or something like that. The only reason I'm interested is that my grandfather had one of these rigs when I was a kid and didn't have a clue as to what it was. When he passed alot of his "stuff" mysteriously disapeared. I wanted to build one and actually use it just as a novelty and to do something different for when I carry. Thanks for the link as well.
Gold Canyon Kid #43974 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 For starters the gun mod is not in the approved list in the SASS gun covenants.
Banjer Pickett Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Great point-I didn't think of that from that angle.
Santa Fe River Stan,36999L Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 How about....It's not a HOLSTER and SASS rules require the use of HOLSTERS...... All handguns must be carried in a safe holster capable of retaining the firearm throughout a normal range of motion. Stan
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 This is not the first time this question has been discussed. Each time the "it is not a holster" statement seems to rule it out. Lafitte
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 While it's way cool it's not a holster. No go. Tons and tons of choices for very authentic acceptable leather for the game.
Appalachian Alan Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I've seen it used at a local club before.

And... an external mod to the handgun.
Deuce Stevens SASS#55996 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 And... an external mod to the handgun. Yup, it had already been said, I didn't want to get to repetitive LOL.
