Frequently Asked Gunleather Questions

Have been going through your web site and had a few questions regarding one of your Mexican Loop Rigs. Thanks in advance for your help.

I really like the looks of the Vaquero Mexican Loop Holster and Oldtimer Belt with Border Stamp as shown on your web site...but, I have some questions......

(1)  Can this same holster & belt combination be had, but with the holster having a double loop?
Yes

(2) Later, can I add a cross-draw holster (double loop) with the same color and border stamp to this rig? Yes

(3) Is the belt lined and with what material? You can choose lined or unlined on any outfit. The fully lined belt is cut from 8-9 oz Grade A Veg Tanned USA Cow Hide and the lining is cut from a 3-4 oz Grade A Veg Tanned cowhide.

The unlined systems are cut from a special 10.5 oz Grade A Veg Tanned Cowhide. We get all of our hides in a natural finish and do all of the dye work or tooling by hand. There is about a $100 difference in price between an Unlined outfit and a Fully Lined outfit. Fully lined outfits are overall more durable and achieve a higher quality finish in appearance. Unlined outfits are more authentic to the period.

(4)  Can the belt be made with 26 cartridge loops? Yes, we add $2 a loop over 20.

(5)  Why do you call this an Oldtimer Belt?  How is it different from the other belts you have on your web site? Its an original straight cut, 2-3/4" wide belt widely used in the old west with the old style California Clipped Corner Belt Buckle. The Oldtimer Gun Belt is the Fully lined version of the Cowboy Pistol Belt which is Unlined.

What is the difference between a lined rig and an unlined rig? As far as the user goes it is personal preference and what they want from their gunleather.

Unlined rigs are traditional, simple and effective. They are far less expensive as they require half the amount of leather and time creating. Circle KB rigs are hand cut from 10-11 oz premium cowhide and finished carefully.  Unlined outfits are popular in CAS, re-enactment, movies and stage shows. Our unlined rigs are cut from authentic 1800's patterns and are great for Cowboy Action Shooting, Theater Use, Room Decor and Practical Hunting Purposes.

The Lined outfits are beautifully finished and will last for generations. They have the quality you would expect and if you are proud of the guns your holstering-why not show it with high quality gunleather.

Lined systems have a handsome stitch line throughout and offer richer oil finishes and marbled tones enhancing the natural characteristics of premium cowhide.  We are also able to provide special metal lining reinforcement in the chamber and shank areas on our A1 QuickDraw holsters that is not available in the unlined A1.

If you are shooting in Cowboy Action, you already know "shooting on" and "looking good" are part of the game and having a high quality rig to go with your fast draw and six shooters is important to you. We understand.  Shooters around the world wear Circle KB outfits,  Lined and Unlined. Just starting out? You can 't go wrong with any of our systems.

How do I measure for my gun belt size?  Measure with a soft tape measure and provide us with the "Center Hole" measurement at where you will buckle your belt. You will have several holes on each side of the belt billet for adjustment. Have questions? We are here to help.
Can you make a knife scabbard to go with my holster? Yes. Send your knife to us and we will build a scabbard to match. We must have your knife in order to build a properly fitting knife scabbard. Please insure it.
Can I get an A1 QuickDraw Holster on the Oldtimer Cowboy Belt instead of the Buscadero Gun Belt? Yes. You have all sorts of options. You can also lace your belt with rifle/shotgun/pistol rounds. Belts come with 20 standard loops and each extra loop is $2. We can make it exactly the way you desire.
Can you make a crossdraw holster for a belt I all ready own? We can certainly make the CrossDraw holster but since all leather varies in tone and color it will be difficult to match the belt exactly. It is best to have the holster and belt cut from the same hide if possible.
Can I add loops to my belt for different sized shells? Sure! Most of our belts come with 20 loops. You can add loops for $2/loop. Just let us know what caliber.
What is your delivery time frame? In general we run about 6 weeks from order to deliver on our gun leather. Other items like cowboy conchos, replica guns, sheriffs badges and accessories are normally delivered within 7-10 days. Otherwise, please allow 6 weeks from order to delivery on gun holsters, gun belts, knife scabbards and rifle scabbards. If you need a gift certificate we will happily provide you with one.
Is there any way I can get my rig any faster? Yes, we have a "Go to the Top" program that puts your order on the Makers Bench instantly. It costs $100 and we don't promote this service but make it available for people who need their rigs faster than a speeding bullet. We still stay on schedule with all of our orders and we do not bump anyone else down in the schedule. The surcharge makes up for some of our time since it requires us to work longer, order dinner-in, pay the kid next door to exercise the animals:)  and stay on time for all of our orders. To put a "Go to the Top of the Schedule" priority on your order with a 10-14 day delivery date guaranteed there is a $100 surcharge.
I have an outfit that was made by someone else and the holster broke down but I like the belt. Can you make a holster for a gun belt I already own? Yes, send us your gun belt and tell us which holster design you like and we can create one to match your belt as close as possible. We need the belt to measure width and match tooling, color and tone as closely as possible. We will also need your gun specs.
If I have a picture of a holster I like can I send it to you and have you make one like it? Yes. We hand cut all of our own patterns and create new ones all of the time. Many folks will look at the book Packing Iron and will call with their ideas and style preferences. Its a great book if you haven't seen it.
I need a holster for a shoot in less than 2 weeks. Is there anyway I can get my rig in time if I order it today? Yes, we have a program called "Go to the Top" that allows you to move to the top of the Makers schedule. It costs $100 and we stop everything else and start on your rig. We still keep on time with all of our other orders-it just means we work longer which is why we have the fee.
When will my credit card be charged? When we begin to cut leather for your gun rig.
I like my new holsters and gunbelt and want to keep it in good condition. What do I need to do? We condition all of our rigs in the finish gallery prior to shipping it to you and all you need to do is wipe off any dust or dirt with a dry soft cloth. You shouldn't have to re-condition the leather for quite some time and we offer a free re-conditioning service to our customers. Give us a call and send it our way and we will give it a "spiff-up" FREE.
I have lost weight and my gun belt is too big now by a couple inches. Can you fix it? Yes, please ship it to us with the measurement that you need to buckle at the center hole and we will retro fit your gun belt at no charge.
