Got the guns now need the gear!

So it's late March 2009, I had purchased 3 guns, wiped the dust off a shotgun I had not shot in almost 20 years, (coash guns aren't real practical for Pheasant hunting).  I still needed holsters for my pistols and some cowboy clothing.  The internet was again my friend, there are a myriad of holsters, gun belts and draw styles to choose from, straight, cross draw, muzzle forward, shoulder holster, drop holster, Buscadero rig.  It can be very confusing and very expensive, or you can simply buy a couple Slim Jim leather holsters (Cabelas and others sell them for around $30 each) and put them on a leather belt you own.  I settled on a set of straight draw holsters from Kirkpatrick Leather from the Long hunter series.  These holsters are very well made and keep the guns canted slightly away from the body to make for an easy draw without catching on clothing, the holsters are also stiff so you can reholster without it folding in on you.
