Tall John Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 (edited) My wooden cart was custom made and has a removable box on the back side. I’d like to mount a holster on either end of this box which is 7” x 8” to securely hold my pistols between stages. looking for good but inexpensive ideas.

watab kid Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 i would use an inexpensive set of drawer pulls to suspend two strong side holsters , that will be a secure mount but allow them to be removed for other use if needed , the pulls can double duty as carry handles when you remove the box , just my 2 cents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watab kid Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 those are very nice but permanent , need some flexibility in my world , but as traditional cart holsters go they are some of the best , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badlands Bob #61228 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 I bet if you ask around, somebody will have a set of old holsters they will sell you cheap. Or find some at the local state match yard sale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancy Shot, SASS #67163 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 If you are looking for a cheap inexpensive way to carry pistols on a gun cart, here it is. Cut a piece of leather, fold it over and nail it down. I used fancy brass tacks. Chancy 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did a great job on Ellie's holster rig as well. I'll try to find some info on him. We ordered the cart holsters first to check colors and borders. Also got out badge holders from him. He and his wife spent at least an hour on the phone with Ellie getting her rig figured out. Just noticed, even the price list is missing!

There was a thread a little while back that he was a bit back logged. But this site looks different, so I wonder if something got messed up with it. It used to have a tan background and there were lots of pictures. Weird! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First merchant website I’ve seen in a long time that doesn’t post their email or phone number. John, I found some paper work from him when he made Ellie's holster. Contact info is from when he was in North Carolina and appears to be the same as when he was in Texas. Phone: 713-703-1915 Email: johnny@jm-leather.com (all lower case) Good Luck, he's really great to work with. Eyesa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hells Comin Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 I do not want my pistols exposed to the elements so I keep them inside my ammo box in holsters and I keep my long guns covered on my cart. Out here in the southwest it can get pretty dusty and keeping them covered they rarely need cleaning! If it ever decides to rain they stay dry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckey O'Neill , SASS Life #42761 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 (edited) I use two IWB (Inside the Waistband) holsters with clips. Easy on - easy off. Edited December 2 by Buckey O'Neill , SASS Life #42761 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horace Patootie, SASS #35798 Posted December 1 Share Posted December 1 I got one of these paintball pod carriers, turned it upside down and strapped it to my cart. Holds two pistols just fine with velcro hold down straps. I also have a leather double pistol holder but haven't used it yet. https://www.academy.com/p/tippmann-sports-series-paintball-2-pod-harness Horace 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye Pete, SASS # 29941 Posted December 2 Share Posted December 2 Tall John, I use a couple of spare holsters mounted inside of the large box on the front/bottom of my large steel framed gun cart. The box is large enough to mount one holster on each side of the box. I used a piece of belt mounted to the box that mounts the holster with a couple of large head wood screws. The guns are out of the weather/dust and easy to grasp and put in my holsters. If you mount one to the outside of the small box on your cart, I would suggest a hammer thong to keep them from falling out when you move your cart. Good luck.

Ashley D Austin Posted Tuesday at 01:52 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:52 PM I hang holsters on either side of my cart using trailer safety pins. The pistols are further secured by leather tongs in the holsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
