WELCOME TO DIXIE ROSE LEATHER Custom Gun Leather For Mounted Shooters
All gun rigs are custom made to your specifications. No two rigs are alike. Over the past 7 years, we have been fortunate enough to get ideas and suggestions from some of the best shooters in the Mounted Shooting World. Our products are constantly being improved based on input from our customers. We can’t make you a better shooter, but we can provide you with the tools to obtain one of the quickest, most accurate gun changes possible. We suggest you try on your friends rigs and find the one that is best suited for you. Leather is very personal. What works for me might not work well for you. A gun rig is a big investment and needs to be well suited for its owner. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
We offer 4 different belt types and several different holster styles. We designed and made the first “harness” for Mounted Shooters to hold the belt above the waist level. All holsters are made to fit your pistols. All belts, holsters and harnesses are fully lined with your choice of top grade upholstery leather or pig skin. The throat of the holsters are rolled outward for easier holstering and are laced to prevent separation of the lining and leather above the stitching. All holsters have sight locks (unless you specify otherwise). Sight locks make it much harder to lose a gun. They require you to pull your gun a little harder, but you should never notice this during competition. The holsters are also fitted with a piece of metal between the lining and leather which helps them hold their shape much longer than holsters without this feature.
We use Hermann Oak leather for our rigs. Hermann Oak is one of the finest leathers available. They use only prime grade heavy U.S. native steer hides and the tanning process is performed by a family owned business in St. Louis, Missouri. Hermann Oak leather stamps, carves and dyes very well and holds up to many years of use. You may choose stainless steel or brass hardware. We use roller buckles on the belt and harness. Roller buckles make tightening the belt for competition or adjusting the harness much easier than regular buckles. |
