Good Morning Guys, thought I might share some new things I received from Henry yesterday...... Going to show you some photos, but I promise you the photos can't even begin to show you how really nice this stuff is, the workmanship is absolutely the best I have ever seen in my life. Sometime back I turned Henry loose with his imagination, and he came up with lacing my B&M Rifles slings with either black buffalo leather or in some cases grey elephant leather.... This LACE really caught my attention, and from that point on I was spoiled with it, and wanted it on my holsters, belts, and everything I did, I think it is extremely classy......... Everything you see is my elephant leather, and black lace is my buffalo leather.......... Only a few weeks ago, Ledvm got the notion he and I needed a good double holster shoulder rig! Excellent, I had an OLD bianchi rig from many years ago that I liked best of all, free hanging. But I noticed that it had gotten really small and tight on me! Hmmmm, must have shrunk up over the years I reckon.... :hillbilly:....Anyway, I instructed Henry to add a little bit to these rigs to make them fit a bit better. Well, Henry went a step further, and made them were they can be adjusted, just in case they shrink over time.... Yes..... Could not possibly be that I am a little fatter, eh......... Rig just shrunk up is all! Ledvm decided he wanted dark brown, but no lace. I had mine done in grey elephant/black buff lace, and Henry added the B&M logo top of the shoulder where back and front straps come together, very classy....... Its also very difficult to take photos of a shoulder rig, or it is for me, and show you the entire rig. I sneaked one of momma's things she puts clothes on, mannequins, and tried to take some photos........     I could not get a decent photo of Ledvm's rig, just not enough light and the rig is richly dark brown....      In addition to the two shoulder rigs I had Henry working on a few other items as well...... As you see, there are two 1911 magazine holders, one that I can change out one of the holsters on the shoulder rig, and replace it with the magazine holder, the other a belt holder. What is different about these magazine holders is that they actually hold 4 Magazines......... The knife sheath is something for my Friend Wes, which is a surprise for him, UNLESS he sees this post..... LOL..........   A while back I had Henry make a couple of belts for me, one black, the other grey elephant, both laced with black buff. I had grey/black holsters for the grey/black belt, but not a black holster for the black belt, so Henry made a black holster for that belt for me..... Black elephant, black buff lace......  There were a few other items as well, couple of full size 1911 holsters for buddies of mine, all look the same as what you have already seen, only for full size guns....... Henry Flores is extremely talented, an artist in leather to say the least.......... If you have leather from your elephants, buffalo or what have you, and really want something special, give Henry a call, I don't know anything he can't do with leather..........

I would get a hard on wearing that to a black tie event. Nice stuff, Doc. I have pondered the ability of wearing (2) 1911s. 4 additional clips! Man thinks like I do ! 50 rounds of magazines. 45 ACP out of (2) guns. If that will not keep you alive, You're ticket has been punched! | |||

Yes I can just picture Clint Eastward collecting an Oscar for Dirty Harry with his 44 Magnum in one of those rigs, on the outside of his Tux. Boy would that do something for sales  Work of art that stuff. | |||

Not only will I be a "Well Dressed" :hillbilly: "Well Heeled" too......... Texas......... I have several two gun rigs....... Like having two guns....... Dress up B'que Rigs................ Henry is amazing with leather....... He had never built a rig like this, but he copied the rig I sent to him to perfection. Now he has the pattern and can do it anytime. Same with the Avenger open top 1911 rigs......... If you guys had a favorite rig, wanted one done, then all you have to do is send it to him and get it done to your specs........ It is the best custom leather work I have ever seen, and I have some nice custom done leather goods from others, I have a custom double rig for my Colt SAs done by Galco some years ago, they are nice, but even they don't compare to the Henry Rigs............ He has done quite a bit of really custom jobs for me...... All have come out PERFECT with no modifications needed....... Of course Henry does our B&M cartridge slides. While we have not experienced loose tops on any of those yet, I have had cartridge slides that after much use got a little too loose to hold cartridges tight enough. I told Henry about this and asked if he could solve it. He did, he took a tiny piece of pig leather, about 1/2 inch wide, but thin enough to line the inside of the cartridge loop, pig leather does not stretch!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Any potential problem in the future, solved............ Amazing I tell you, talented, and yes, it is a Work of Art........... Makes me want to go shoot more things so I can get some more leather!!!!!!!!

Now, I know what those two "bumps" under your shirt are and I don't need to ask any embarrassing questions ! Gorgeous leatherwork. Guys, not only is this work exceptional quality but it is EXTREMELY hard wearing. I have had a couple of cartridge slides that I got from Mike, made by Henry, several years back now. Those cartridge slides sit on a belt around my mid-rift and are regularly covered in blood, dust and other crud. A simply wipe down and basic treatment with some good quality leather oil and they are like brand new again ! There's nothing I like more than practical gear that functions AND looks good too !! Great stuff Mike, and Henry ! | |||

Thanks Jorge.... But, no neckked, do you have any idea of what Mrs. McCourry might do to me??? I do, and Yes, I am scared................ I can face many dangerous animals, but not Mrs. McCourry...... Hey, what is the scoop on the gun case you sent to Henry? Does Henry have it now after its adventure being lost?

Michael, our eyesight is getting worse as the normal lifespan says it should. HOWEVER, you nekked would hurry our loss of sight ten-fold!
