      I asked this guy to make one of these rigs he said he doesn't make single action pistol holsters WTF

    Has anyone else noticed that Sam does not, or very rarely uses filler words when he speaks? Very precise and extraordinarily concise. A True wordsmith and artist in every sense of the word.

    Sam is a gracious and humble man. I was blessed enough to spend more than a year learning the craft from Sam in his shop. Stopped into his old shop in Alachua Fl to buy a holster and was totally mesmerized by his process. He graciously ask me if I wanted to build a holster with his help. I jumped on the opportunity. That 1 holster turned into many more and I was able to learn with him over my shoulder. It’s a knowledge of a craft that I will have with my for the rest of my life and I owe all of that to Sam.

    Mr. Andrews is not only an excellent craftsman. He is also a very nice gentleman.
    Over the years, I have many of his holsters and every one of them have stood the test of time and look and perform as good today as when I first aquired them.
    I would strongly recommend his work to anybody wishing to process the finest leather goods to be had anywhere.

    I Had to sell both my OM (old) model Vaqueros when I became a single parent raising four kids.I used to get sick to my stomach thinking about it. They were the only guns I really missed! Years later I finally got another first year production (1993) Vaquero (old Model) -7-1/2" barrel. I would love a rig for that!!

    It is so good to see good old fashioned workmanship where products are really built to last. I am sure many of those well-built holsters will become family heirlooms that won’t be any worse for wear in a couple decades when taken care of properly.

    Those holsters are indeed a work of art! I have a couple of revolvers from my late father, a S&W Pre-Model 15 .38 Special (1957) was an ex-police revolver...beautiful bluing, but with some holster wear. I'd love to have a classy holster for that one. The other revolver is Colt New Frontier Scout .22 in the original box with an extra .22 mag cylinder. My father had picked it up at an auction shortly before be passed, it would also be a great candidate for one of your holsters. Thanks Sam for sharing your art with the rest of us!

    I saw Sam Andrews again at a local Orlando gun show within the last month. He had made two units for me in the late 1980s . The first rig was for my Colt Series 70 Wilson modified .45 acp. This rig has a canted holster, a belt and two magazine holders fitted to the belt. The second rig is a shoulder holster setup for a Beretta 92. Both units have bottom tensioners that help to retain the firearms in the holster. The quality is impeccable some 30 + years later. I keep both holster rigs treated regularly with a moderate amount of Lexol and they look fantastic !

    I enjoy watching him stitch using the old Landis. I have an old Champion harness stitcher, still operated by pedaling, that I use for my holsters. Haven't quite convinced myself to convert it to electric powered just yet. Tools over 100 years old and still to an excellent job with a little maintenance. That aluminum slicker is a great idea that I may have to try out as well.

  • @paulsampsell8182
    @paulsampsell8182 4 роки тому

    Mr. Anderson, you are a true master. Your work is amazing. Your skill is awesome. Your videos are wonderful. I'm a southpaw, and most of my guns are not what's in vogue, so often my selection of holsters is poor. Generally, my budget is also, so I've only really looked at mass produced holsters. I decided to watch some UA-cam videos, to see the practicality of learning some leathercraft, and possibly making my own. If I never build one, my time invested will be well worth while, just for having chanced upon your videos. You are a true craftsman, and it has impressed me that you would be so benevolent as to share so much of your knowledge with the public. Thank you so much. You will always be the first name I would recommend in a custom holster, and when I am ready to commission a holster, I'll be calling.

    I just started to make a double holster but I did not follow your pattern up to now. I learned a lot from your illustration and I want to thank you for it. I hope to follow your examples. Mine have been single leather belts without a lining, I thought that it would get too thick and un maneuverable. Lacing and tooling I did also on my first one and I sold it to someone who thought that he could use in a Rodeo setting. I hope it was a good show.
