I commissioned Alex at American Classic Gunleather to build a highly traditional old school Texas "Ranger" style rig for my engraved Colt Combat Elite 1911. I made several requests that Alex did an exceptional job of turning into reality in leather art. The holster is unique. Two traditional styles of holsters in the Southwest are favorites of mine and I asked Alex to combine them. The AW Brill style and the Texas Jockstrap. Small requests were a bit more than traditional coverage of the trigger guard and full protection of the rear sights. The holster is about perfect in execution of what I envisioned in blending of these styles into a unique look. I wanted full floral covering. No pictures I could ever take will do the carving Justice on the entire holster and belt rig. I also wanted to incorporate a Texas prison inmate made four piece buckle set. I think it came out great and cannot wait to find occasion to place my Cinco Peso Prison made badge on it and wear it. Overall, the execution, materials, quality and very timely delivery and communication was excellent and I now own an heirloom piece of leather. Next step.....the 1911 will be on its way to Steve Morrison at MARS Armament so it functions as good as it looks.
