Laser and skeleton buckle

Trailblazer · January-26-17 17:01

I've been looking through past posts and couldn't find info on this.
Is the laser compatable with the magnum skeleton buckle? I'm considering a laser, but only if it will work in the buckle.
Here in Texas we have "Bar-B-Q" guns. That is, eye-catching, showy guns worn open-carry to B-B-Qs, garden weddings and such. My Mini-Magnum in the buckle is one of a couple of guns l have that are perfect for those gatherings. A recent such event was a Deputy Sheriff's (son of a local gun shop owner) wedding.
And, yes, if I suck in my tummy the Mini buckle is quite showy.

Sounds like fun. Got pictures?

I'm waiting on a pair of "ivory" grips from E-Bay to complete my ensemble. Then I'll take a few pictures, maybe even one of them- what the youngsters call a "selfie", that is if y'all can handle seeing a 69 year old midsection.

Got the new grips and put them on my Mine Mag. Dang, wouldn't fit in the skeleton buckle, so I got out my Dremmel and had at it. Some materiel removal behind the trigger was all that was needed. The picture shows the result. With a tucked in shirt it'll make a good conversation starter at the next BBQ. With the shirt tail out the Mini disappears. I have a folding holster grip, an inside the waistband holster, and now the buckle carry option, I like it.

I've got a note on my picture that says "awaiting approval". I joined the forum over three years ago, but have had only 10 posts. The picture should be approved for all to see soon.

Sorry about the belt, didn't know I was going to be in a fashion show that day. Next time I do a "selfie" I'll include my face---- that'll make the belt look like new

In defense of my "experienced" belt, in it's lifetime it has had quite a number of things hung on it. Flip phone holsters, Crossbreed IWB holsters for several different guns, pancake holsters for several different guns, a crossdraw holster for my SP101, speedloader cases, several different shoulder holsters, a highride holster for my Security Six, several different knife sheaths, keys for work, and a bunch of other stuff I've forgot about. So, you see, that's just good honest wear you have been admiring.

Just more the reason to give it a good shoe polishing . I figure some animal gave its all for its hide that it deserves some leather care heck I even buy work shoes that need polish from time to time not many do that these days , makes that leather get up and sing .

So true. Respect the cow.

Never dump that old belt. When it is done oil it heavy and get out the punch and some laces. This one was so crusty it would not bend. Made a sheath for my old Boy Scout knife and one for a ice pick. The scraps now stay in my bench vice as padding.

The thrift store is a good place to find "pre-aged" leather that won't need braking in. Boots,Belts and that purse/ammo pouch. Don't worry. The girl at check out won't make fun of your purse--- you got Mini!
