The Better-Halfs first Busse...

[retrocon]

Ok, some of you saw the post i did a couple off weeks ago on some new pants for a present for my wifes' birthday.

Here's the finished package...

Her first Busse - Yellow and Black Game Warden that i purchase on the exchange, for this purpose, a few months ago.

A .410/.45LC (bond arms) with a custom grip that i Duracoated to match the GW.

And the leather. The holster and sheath are detachable (with some effort), from the belt loops on the backing, which has kydex to form it to her waste. The backing thingy has it's own belt clips, and i stupidly didn't take a picture of the back, but it's pretty basic. I added some honeycomb hexagons.

The yellow and black and honeycomb are for a honeybee theme representing a small part-time venture we are undertaking (that involves firearms training).

It was fun, and i just wanted to share the final product with you all... it was the enthusiasm on these boards that got me into Busses and leather work in the first place. So, thanks!







Well, i think she wanted earrings, but hey, this will definitely be a surprise!

That turned out to be a very sweet setup, no wonder she liked it! Great job! :thumbup:

Looks nice and light in weight. So, keeping with the colors and such; I guess it could be said this rig floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee.

Great work.

Thanks, i like that "tight package"

Actually makes it sound pretty "hip" and all that ;-)

oh, wait, she will wear it on her hip!

Glad you like it! Yes, she carries a "pea shooter" .380 most of the time, i'm lucky for that. Though her primary is a nice compact 1911 in .45 when she is wearing the right cloths.

But i definitely get your drift. It's verrrry nice to know that you wife/husband are out there an safe!

Dude that is sweet!

Sweet like honey from the honeybee? ;-)

But really, thanks, i really thought it would end up as one of the other four "basic tastes" like sour or bitter. But patience paid off, i guess.
