Johnny Ringo rig

[CraigC]

Here's one I did for a local customer, hot off the bench and just in time for Christmas. It's based off Will Ghormley's pattern but modified for a 6½" .22 single action and pictured with my 5½" Old Model Single Six. Done in oxblood out of a scarred hide for some character. Since it's made for a .22, cartridge loops are more trouble than they're worth, so I just did the line work and doubled up on the antique nickel spots. Three antique pewter conchos and an engraved buckle round it out. Turned out pretty nice.

Dang Craig. You're a talented craftsman, no question. But you've got a heck of an artist's eye for design, too. Really very nice. A rig like that should easily be worth more than the gun!

 

[CraigC]

Thanks guys!

A rig like that should easily be worth more than the gun!

It is! I paid a whopping $200 for that Single Six and Ghormley gets $465 for a Ringo rig. Mine's less but still more than the Ruger.

Splendid CraigC.
You are turning out some real art.
I just made a'hawk sheath from some scrap leather that was given to me. It looks like I should leave the leather work to the experts. Lol

Craig your work is some of the nicest I have ever seen. Oxblood is my favorite color for holsters.

DANG! That is nice work.

I admire your taste in the added styling elements. It's flashy and smart looking without looking over the top.
