Col Del Rio Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 My wife has finally joined SASS! "Diamondhead Dame" needs a set of holsters. She shoots Vaqueros. She is very petite. She wants crossdraw. Recommendations for outfitters? Thanks, Col. Del Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow Mo Dern Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Howdy CD, Mernickle Holsters makes ladies holsters. They have many styles to choose from and they make quality stuff that lasts many, many years. You'll get your money's worth. Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump Water Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 I'll 2nd Mernickle. But, the "for women" part is about the belt, not the holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Colt Faro if you want the best cross draw design. Functional art too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogmeat Dad, SASS #48563L Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 My wife has been using one of the Lady Tequila rigs from Kirkpatrick Leather for about the last 10 years and loves it. She started with two straight draw holsters, but eventually bought a crossdraw as she shoots Lady Frontier Cartridge Duelist and it avoided the switching guns between hands issue.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 This is my 5th rig. I like it the best. Ted Blocker, Dixie Bell design. I like that it fits at the waist and doesn't require a second belt for SG shells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dream Chaser, SASS #79316 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 For a woman you either need a belt that rides low or, as Allie Mo’s photo shows, fits at the waist but holsters are dropped down in buscadero style. Most women that wear them at the waist with gun butts at top of waist find they are drawing into their armpits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Take her to a large match and she can browse the leather vendors and look at rigs other women are wearing. As others have pointed out, belts for women have different challenges than for men. The leather maker that made Sawmill Mary's rig took two hours to spec out. A lot goes into the process.

Abe E.S. Corpus SASS #87667 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Paul Combest (Reddog Leather in Kentucky) made a rig for my wife with an curved belt that fits properly. She was very pleased with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom, SASS #54973 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Okay...maybe I'm miss-reading this but isn't he asking for HOLSTERS? Not "Rigs"...???? And if that's the case, no difference between male and female when it comes to holsters. Phantom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom I'm gonna go wayyyyyyyy out on a limb here and guess that with a six digit membership number he may not know there's a difference. He's probably using the word "holsters" as a generic term for the entire rig. Just a guess though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artemus Von Schutze Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 I would second the Tequila ladies rig from Kirkpatrick, the Ladies rig from Ted Blocker seems like a good choice as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
