This incredible rig was requested by a repeat customer and great friend
to accommodate particular items in specific places while wearing various types of clothing.
After a couple of fittings, Rick is pleased (can ya' tell?), and I'm very happy to show you the finished product ~

Rick's Ragin' Rig carries the Taurus Raging Bull on the pistol belt while the bandoleer provides five ammo slots and quick, easy access to his knife. That's just the beginning ~
Rick first wanted a "simple," one-piece rig that would carry his weapon, knife an extra ammo all together. However complicated this may look, it's as simple as putting on a belt without even having to go through belt loops! Just unbuckle the center buckle, put your arm through the bandoleer and slip it over your head, fasten the buckle, and you're done.
Secondly, he wanted something that could easily be adjusted to fit the different thicknesses in hunting clothing worn according to the weather conditions. Adjusting the length of the bandoleer to accommodated light or heavy clothing is made by loosening or tightening the buckle on the left hip.
There were some other things to consider also. The knife and sheath he wanted to use didn't have a strap to secure it, and it was to be attached upside down, and the sheath was a different color than what was chosen for the rig. Too, there may come a time when the weapon would not be needed for the hunt. That wasn't a problem...made it happen. Double clips attach to the inside inside belt.
Since Rick is Creek Indian, I carved that on the back of the bandoleer. A darker edge line and some tooling was done on the entire rig to enhance the richness in the color. A pyrographed deer and bear was just a little added touch for the hunt.
And just in case the "one-piece" rig really needs only "one" of its two pieces that make it one, well...that can happen too. Unbuckle the front, slip the buckle through the front loop of the bandoleer, and pull the rest of the bandoleer through the keeper on the right side. Pretty dang simple.
