Purchased the "inside the waistband " holster! It's the best way to carry a heavy revolver! "If" it has a 5" or less barrel! Have 3 revolves 5" barrel! 2 Ruger Blackhawks 1 Freedom arms. Works GREAT! QUALITY HOLSTER! best $135 I've ever spent!

100% agree with you. I had a fantastic experience with ‘em at CA State in 2019. So, when it came time to purchase a new holster rig I had them in mind for the job.
Many thanks for the great review, Jed. I too, am a longtime user and fan of Mernickle leather. Also very impressed with the new 'High Performance' series holsters. Very well thought out design. Howlin' Wolf and his family are carrying on a great legacy with Mernickle leather products They make fine cowboy action rigs, and deserve all our support.

I have a bunch of single action 45s. I use Mernicle shoulder rig and have a PS6SA belt holster too. The shoulder rig I cut the middle 6 round loops off to make it easier to get shells out. Use it for cold weather carry and belt for summer wear. I use single actions for ccw everyday carry. I do have 9mm and 357 snubs but love those single actions.

Great review of a great product, Jed. I've been very pleased with by HP rig and shotgun belt. I sure hope you do a review of the Gunfighter rig. When I got my HP rig several years ago, I shot traditional, but later switched to duelist and then double duelist. So a review of the Gunfighter rig, based on your gunfighter point of view will be of great interest.

Thanks. I’ll definitely be reviewing more of their products, not sure if it’ll be the Gunfighter rig yet or not. Stay tuned 😉 -Jed 🤠
I also bought a high performance rig from them this year. I really like it. I love how easy the guns come in and out of the holsters, but still maintain enough retention I don’t need to worry about the guns coming out when “running” (ok maybe running in my head but probably looks more like a fast walk lol). Went out to their annual match this year and picked them right up from the factory ;). Thought I would need to practice with them for a few weeks before using them at a match, but after just trying them for thirty minutes or so in my hotel room I realized I was already faster with the new rig than with my old one and decided to use them on the second day of the main match. I shoot a age based category and use a 2 handed grip so the transitions from one gun to the other is incredibly faster in this new rig. Anxious to hear your review on the shotgun belt. Planning on buying a little fancier rig from them next time and would like to know if I should get a matching shotgun belt with it. Thanks for all your work.

Hey Jedi! Love the channel and am using it heavily while I start in CAS. I’m looking to get some leather now. I’m between the starter rig and the high performance rig. I just don’t know if I absolutely need the HP. But also on the other side of the coin I don’t want to get the starter rig and find that I’m left wanting. I would appreciate your views on the starter rig now as I know how you feel about the HP. Thanks and may the force be with you!

I am glad I came across this video, I have been wanting to get a holster for my Uberti 1875 Outlaw 7.5 inch and now I know I am probably gonna want a dropped holster....do you think I would be better with a 1" drop? or should I go for a more classic longer drop? I have long arms and long torso, but shorter legs... so I am a bit worried about the longer drop holsters sitting to low?
@JEDiTV
Жыл бұрын
That’s a good question. Thanks did go with a longer drop for my 7.5” revolvers. Honestly… I don’t love drawing from the position. I’d rather have the grips up higher on my hips, even if I have to pull my elbow up to my ears to draw 😉 -Jed
Thanks for this rewiew! I just subscribed. I am also on the fence about wich cross draw rig to buy. Dad and i both have fastdraw rigs from Mernickle and are happy with them. Can the starter rig be adapted into a cross draw?
