Pariah, SASS #26619 Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 Hey Jonny, You said Colt and Colt clones up to 7-1/2" - do you mean SAA only, or would these holsters work for 1851's or Conversions with 7-1/2" barrels, too?

I have fond memories of John Senior and his wife Louise. They lived next to my grandmother in Fallbrook and I was over at their house many times over the years. When they opened the Bianchi Frontier Museum we were on the guest list with a bunch of other VIPs. It was such a fun experience and they were always very kind to my brother and I.

If you are referring to like a Colt 1851 Navy Revolver with a 7 1/2" barrel I have one and the fit is GREAT.
Doc Ironbeard Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 WOW!! That is a REALLY nice rig. Out of my price range at the moment, and I already have three holster sets.....or it is four? But dang sweet looking rig!!!
Ricochet Roy, SASS #71853 Posted September 4, 2021 Posted September 4, 2021 Howdy Folks, Ricochet Roy here. I thought that I'd chime in a bit. I made this rig for my brother Jonny T a few years back and as life would have it with a heavy work schedule he has not been able to ever use this rig. It's like brand new! Well, it looks like he will be returning to shootin' but with different revolvers. This rig was bench made meaning one-at-a-time and with a lot of heart was put into this rig. This is not a common production rig where lesser quality leather and cheap thread are used. For those of you that historical period correct tooling and holster design matters, this rig and tooling design which I call my "Trail Boss" rig is as authentically period correct as you can get. There are some competition modifications made such as laminated Kydex to retain the mouth opening for a fast draw and easy holstering and of course it is fully lined and the stitching is of UV yacht sail thread. The cartridge loops are sized for 44.40 cartridges although 45's will fit as well. Made of number 1 premium select full grain, veg tanned American cowhide, you just can't go any better for tooling gun leather, and that's a fact! The leather has been properly oiled, stained and finished using old world waxes (just like in the old west) and then buffed to a beautiful luster. So Pards, if your looking for a double strong side rig truly to be proud of and that will last a career of CAS, look no further, here it is. I believe my brother Jonny T is requesting only $800.00, that my friends is an incredible deal! Ricochet Roy As a side note: Years ago John Bianchi was and still is one of my mentors along with Matt Whitaker (Kid Cavalier), their shop is only 15 minutes away from my home. They took me in under their wings and taught me leather crafting the correct way and allowed me to work in their shop as I was building up my own shop. Between the two they have over 75 years of experience. They are both Masters at their trade and have always been very kind and generous to me for which I will forever be grateful. To this day we both support each other's shops.

Tennessee Longhunter Posted October 10, 2021 Posted October 10, 2021 Sending to first page. Great rig and someone needs to buy it before I’m forced to lose weight so I can buy and use. Don
Tennessee Longhunter Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 I can’t lose weight fast enough. Someone buy this!
Alamocity Posted November 6, 2021 Posted November 6, 2021 Beautiful rig! I'm a big fan of Richocet Roy's work and would be interested in this save for one thing. I'm a slim fellow and would need to use this at the first, 36" slot. Would there be enough room for the tongue to go between the left side holster?

Mezcal Charlie Posted November 8, 2021 Posted November 8, 2021 Got this makes me regret all those pizzas and all that beer. I have Bianchi Frontier Leather and their standards are the highest. No doubt this rig is worth more than the $700 price. This is buy once cry once to a T!
