Driftwood,
that is really nice work on that holster.
The point I was trying to make with the OJW post was that it was the belt strapped on the outside of the coat that made all it work. This point isn't about OJW of course and I didn't want it to be.
Here's what I meant, anyone who has carried heavy "iron" on their hips knows that the belt is always trying to come off. Especially those of us who are not in their 20's anymore
It's just what gravity tries to do, pull everything down to it.
I just feel like I've noticed a novel thing here.
By putting the belt OVER the coat in the OJW movie, they were able to carry those big pistols by making the coat carry some of the load and the friction of the material also helps in that also. So instead of the weight being all on the belt and it being carried all by the hips, the load is divided up and shared by the shoulders.
Of course, we all know they didn't have belt loops too. So that even makes it more difficult to keep a heavy pile of pistols from trying to get to your feet.
So, putting a belt on the outside of your coat COULD possibly make it possible to carry a Walker or any other hogleg, a little easier.
I know a lot about this movie, of course, but I wasn't posting about the movie nor the guns of the movie, etc. that's for another day and post. Actually has been talked about a number of times over the years.
One thing about it, if you WERE walking around with a Walker on your hip, not many people would mess with you, that's for sure.
