New wardrobe for my Uberti 45 Colt

[Bawanna]

Just got another Mernickle holster today. This one for my single action Uberti Colt look alike.

The fit and finish are perfect, I'm impressed as usual with their holsters.

Now even this wheelchair cowboy wannabe can play cowboy. I plan to rotate this into my everyday wardrobe from time to time. Remember my roots if you will.

Photo evidence.







You'll have to excuse me, all I could find was some fat guy for a model. I couldn't very well take pictures of myself.

Also it looks like it hits the clothing guard but there's actually space there, not a lot and a bit of adjustment forward or back should help that. Standing up would be a sure cure but not an option YET.

Nice piece of leather... hope it serves you well!

Beautifulllllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very nice!
How many Mernickle holster do you have?
And I can't help but notice that the holster doesn't cover the trigger or trigger guard, but I guess that's not necessary with that kind of gun.

Nice gun and holster.

Am I reading that holster right that it can be used in a cross-draw manner?

[Bawanna]

Yes, I haven't even tried it in the cross draw mode but suspect it will work good. I'm gonna try it. For many years I wore my 1911 cross draw. I was working in a tool warehouse and it was just less in the way there. Plus they really didn't want me carrying it and always felt me up on my right side.
Dozens of times and never caught me.

And AIRret, it's a single action so the hammer has to be pulled back each shot. Some say it's slow but I don't think so at all.

Any revolver that has a hammer I usually pull it back, very seldom double action them. I was born a 100 years too late I think.

That's ok, Bawanna. I was more than happy to sit in for you while you took those photo's. I owe my physique to Mrs. Muggsy's fine cooking. My old man always said that a good mechanic keeps his tools under a roof. Nothin to be ashamed of here. (There will be a nominal charge for pulling your chestnuts out of the fire.)

Nice holster and revolver Bawanna
Diamond plate is a nice touch as well. Is that stock or did you add that?

Looks good Col.B... I like the color, and lowered front lets you clear leather faster!

[TheTman]

Very nice color to that leather. Looks like quality craftsmanship.

Good eye Greg. Those plates are usually just plastic. After a few years they crack. I had them taped together and glued popsicle sticks and duct tape to patch them up. Finally got tired of it so was gonna order some new ones.
They wanted around 70 bucks for the two flat pieces of plastic with a piece of metal riveted on.
I thought I can do that myself. Had that diamond plate laying around and an hour or so later I rolled out of the pits back onto the track.

Medical stuff like wheelchairs they rip you off soooooo bad.

[muggsy]

If you think it's bad now, wait until they add Obummer's medical device tax to it.

Nice looking holster. I'm in the market for one for my Ruger Blackhawk, might have to give them a look.

Good eye Greg. I didn't even see that.

Colonel I can see that you do have many talents.

I'm just wondering why you ditched the battery power.

Mernickle makes some nice stuff. Glad you skinned it like that.

[Bawanna]

The power chair for some reason eats batteries. Got to where it wouldn't make it thru a full day. Something ain't right and I haven't figured it out yet.

My big power chair has batteries probably 4 or 5 years old and will go for days but it's just too big to run inside.

The manual is good exercise, about all I get. The power is sure nice carrying stuff around though, cup of coffee, glass of scotch, a rifle etc. Challenging in a manual where you need both hands or you end up rowing a boat with one oar.

AJbert, I don't think you could do better for your Blackhawk. They are good folks, Bob and Sherrie and its top notch stuff. You being a stand upper, you might consider the mid ride. I like the high to keep away from the wheels.
