Found Cart holsters for NMVs @ TriStar

[Tall John]

Found: 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.

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

Try these from J-M Leather

those are very nice but permanent , need some flexibility in my world , but as traditional cart holsters go they are some of the best ,

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.

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.

do you have a number for him?  First merchant website I’ve seen in a long time that doesn’t post their email or phone number.

Well that sure is odd! Looks like a new web site, I don't see any way to order either.

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!

Wondering too. 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!

This site won't let me post a separate reply. No clear editor button, odd again. Anyway here's an old email from when he was in Alvin,Texas

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

Good Luck, he's really great to work with.

Thanks Eysa!

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.

I use two IWB (Inside the Waistband) holsters with clips. Easy on - easy off.

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.

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.

I hang holsters on either side of my cart using trailer safety pins. The pistols are further secured by leather tongs in the holsters.
