Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Sub$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Sub$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Sub$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Sub$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Sub$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Sub$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Sub$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the benefits of carrying subcompact pistols are many, they have some challenges. At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"Sub$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nLike the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$\"SHIELD$ <\/figure>\n\n\n\n
SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it.

It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes.

He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

class="\"wp-block-heading\" wp-block-heading" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it.

It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights.

class="\"wp-block-heading\" wp-block-heading" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights.

pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses.

class="\"wp-block-heading\" wp-block-heading" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes.

His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint.

When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols.

class="\"wp-block-heading\" wp-block-heading" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

data-sizes="(max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px" /> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<p>You say holster, I say art. And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses.

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

class="\"wp-block-heading\" wp-block-heading" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

At the top of that list is generally a short sight radius, which can affect our accuracy on these microblasters. If there was ever the perfect gun to mount an optic on, a subcompact is it. Today, SHIELD Sights announces its newest optic to meet the needs of subcompact shooters: the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-rmsx\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396516\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight-sub-compact-optic\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight - Sub Compact Optic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Building on the success and popularity of the RMSc, the RMSsc takes compact to the next level. It is the smallest micro red dot on the market. The RMSsc takes advantage of the smaller CR1632 battery and reduces the width to provide a seamless fit with the smallest pistols on the market. Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys. The all-new crystal-clear glass lens has no magnification or colored coatings to provide an unobstructed view of the field of fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sub compact optic\" class=\"wp-image-396514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perfect-for-sub-compact-pistols\"><strong>Perfect for Sub-Compact Pistols<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the other optics in the RMS line, the RMSsc shares the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/shield-sights-rms2-reflex-sight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">SHIELD<\/a> standard footprint, which allows backward and forward compatibility. The optic has a low height over the bore axis to allow co-witness capability with standard-height iron sights. The RMSsc is always ready; there is no need to shake awake or turn on; simply draw, aim, and shoot. The auto brightness adjustment samples the ambient light thousands of times per second and provides the best brightness for the current lighting environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/rmscc_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight\" class=\"wp-image-396515\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shield-sights-rmssc-micro-red-dot-sight\"><strong>SHIELD Sights RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMSsc Micro Red Dot Sight perfectly fits micro-compact or slim-frame pistols. Adding a red dot on your sub-compact pistol is a game changer. It allows quicker sight acquisition and improved accuracy. SHIELD is one of the pioneers in red dot design. Their newest offering is sure to be a winner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shieldsights.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer

Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>You say holster, I say art. And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

data-sizes="(max-width: 184px) 100vw, 184px" /> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E"

wp-block-heading" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount.

The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class="\"wp-block-heading\" wp-block-heading" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s.

The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price.

The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Built out of anodized aerospace grade T6 6082 Aluminium, the RMSsc features excellent corrosion resistance. It also has the highest strength of the 6000 series alloys.

href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

the table. This deep into the Information Age, our weapons are also fashion statements. That basic truism drives us to take Krylon to our favorite AR and opt for FDE combat handguns rather than the basic black. Now Leica has taken their respected quality optics and packed them into a chassis that is quite simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

This deep into the Information Age, our weapons are also fashion statements. That basic truism drives us to take Krylon to our favorite AR and opt for FDE combat handguns rather than the basic black. Now Leica has taken their respected quality optics and packed them into a chassis that is quite simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options.

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

class=\"wp-image-397092\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays our guns and gear are more than just tools to secure one\u2019s person or put game on the table. This deep into the Information Age, our weapons are also fashion statements. That basic truism drives us to take Krylon to our favorite AR and opt for FDE combat handguns rather than the basic black. Now Leica has taken their respected quality optics and packed them into a chassis that is quite simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly.

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

operational as a conventional riflescope in the absence of battery power. The expansive tech is designed to be intuitive and easy to use so you can stay in your scope rather than outside fiddling with stuff. The MSRP is $3,295.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class="\"wp-block-heading\" wp-block-heading" id=\"h-leica-fortis-glossy-nbsp\">Leica Fortis Glossy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/19-Leica-Fortis-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Leica Fortis Glossy\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-397092\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays our guns and gear are more than just tools to secure one\u2019s person or put game on the table. This deep into the Information Age, our weapons are also fashion statements. That basic truism drives us to take Krylon to our favorite AR and opt for FDE combat handguns rather than the basic black. Now Leica has taken their respected quality optics and packed them into a chassis that is quite simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly.

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Steiner ePredator LRF 10x42 Laser Rangefinding Binoculars. This synergistic combination projects real-time range and ballistics data directly into the riflescope HUD. Dial the turret setting to the displayed range, align the reticle, and squeeze the trigger. Precision shooting will never be the same again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ePredator 8 is built around a 34 mm tube for maximum light transmission and remains fully operational as a conventional riflescope in the absence of battery power. The expansive tech is designed to be intuitive and easy to use so you can stay in your scope rather than outside fiddling with stuff. The MSRP is $3,295.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leica-fortis-glossy-nbsp\">Leica Fortis Glossy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/19-Leica-Fortis-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Leica Fortis Glossy\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-397092\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays our guns and gear are more than just tools to secure one\u2019s person or put game on the table. This deep into the Information Age, our weapons are also fashion statements. That basic truism drives us to take Krylon to our favorite AR and opt for FDE combat handguns rather than the basic black. Now Leica has taken their respected quality optics and packed them into a chassis that is quite simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly.

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ePredator 8 Riflescope<\/a> from Steiner infuses the baseline attributes of a traditional riflescope with some serious Information Age tech. This state-of-the-art 8X optic integrates a built-in ballistics calculator and Heads-Up Display (HUD) into the sight itself. The ePredator automatically accounts for inclination and air pressure to help neutralize the little things that can foment big problems with practical long-range accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Intelligent Hunting Solution (IHS) interfaces with the Steiner Connect app as well as Steiner ePredator LRF 10x42 Laser Rangefinding Binoculars. This synergistic combination projects real-time range and ballistics data directly into the riflescope HUD. Dial the turret setting to the displayed range, align the reticle, and squeeze the trigger. Precision shooting will never be the same again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ePredator 8 is built around a 34 mm tube for maximum light transmission and remains fully operational as a conventional riflescope in the absence of battery power. The expansive tech is designed to be intuitive and easy to use so you can stay in your scope rather than outside fiddling with stuff. The MSRP is $3,295.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leica-fortis-glossy-nbsp\">Leica Fortis Glossy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/19-Leica-Fortis-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Leica Fortis Glossy\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-397092\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays our guns and gear are more than just tools to secure one\u2019s person or put game on the table. This deep into the Information Age, our weapons are also fashion statements. That basic truism drives us to take Krylon to our favorite AR and opt for FDE combat handguns rather than the basic black. Now Leica has taken their respected quality optics and packed them into a chassis that is quite simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Riflescope<\/a> from Steiner infuses the baseline attributes of a traditional riflescope with some serious Information Age tech. This state-of-the-art 8X optic integrates a built-in ballistics calculator and Heads-Up Display (HUD) into the sight itself. The ePredator automatically accounts for inclination and air pressure to help neutralize the little things that can foment big problems with practical long-range accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Intelligent Hunting Solution (IHS) interfaces with the Steiner Connect app as well as Steiner ePredator LRF 10x42 Laser Rangefinding Binoculars. This synergistic combination projects real-time range and ballistics data directly into the riflescope HUD. Dial the turret setting to the displayed range, align the reticle, and squeeze the trigger. Precision shooting will never be the same again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ePredator 8 is built around a 34 mm tube for maximum light transmission and remains fully operational as a conventional riflescope in the absence of battery power. The expansive tech is designed to be intuitive and easy to use so you can stay in your scope rather than outside fiddling with stuff. The MSRP is $3,295.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leica-fortis-glossy-nbsp\">Leica Fortis Glossy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/19-Leica-Fortis-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Leica Fortis Glossy\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-397092\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays our guns and gear are more than just tools to secure one\u2019s person or put game on the table. This deep into the Information Age, our weapons are also fashion statements. That basic truism drives us to take Krylon to our favorite AR and opt for FDE combat handguns rather than the basic black. Now Leica has taken their respected quality optics and packed them into a chassis that is quite simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

And we are both right. It is the work of Chris Andre, the \u201cSlickbald\u201d of the Slickbald Custom Holsters. I recently attended one of his one-on-one classes to learn to make Western holsters, and I was amazed by the creations that appear as a regular day\u2019s work for Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_002-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Custom holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396993\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-cowboy-bling\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - Cowboy Bling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As I entered the workshop, one rig heaped on the table was a double <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-fast-draw-association\/\">buscadero.<\/a> Great swathes of the belt\u2019s surface were dyed turquoise and embellished with skulls and gothic-themed crosses. It looked good. Good enough to be the star in a Hollywood movie. But on closer examination, there were obvious scrapes on the belt at the top of the holster\u2019s mouth. This was a shooter\u2019s competitive rig. Chris explained that it was in the shop for additional holsters in a different style. The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear? Only the scrapes previously described in the Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I do not see very many holsters in Slickbald\u2019s workshop. But, as Slickbald explained, everything in his shop is custom made to order, and after he photographs the rig for posterity, it is shipped out the door to the waiting customer. When I asked him about the beautiful rigs casually scattered around the shop, Chris replied, \u201cThey are mistakes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396994\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beautiful-mistakes\"><strong>Beautiful Mistakes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lying carelessly in a heap was perhaps the most ornate and beautiful rig I have ever seen. Old Glory waved around the side of the belt, with its rich, majestic colors of red, white and blue. The holster\u2019s body is a double-loop style with accent spots on the perimeter, and a carving of the eagle on the great seal filled the back landscape of the belt. This double buscadero looked to be made for a presentation of state or a display in the halls of government. Yet, it laid neglected. The fault? It did not fit the customer who ordered it from Slickbald Custom Holsters. Slickbald\u2019s solution: Take it back and do it all over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Steve Fowler, aka Bat Masterson, ordered a beautiful double buscadero carved with a rich floral pattern. It is a Hollywood or \u201cB\u201d Western-style rig. It fit the tall, stately Masterson, dressed in his Sunday meeting clothes, to a T. Yet the precise detail of the winding leaves and subtle colors made the rig appear almost simple. And it still completely matched the calm and collected demeanor of Masterson. In many instances, it takes careful, close examination to see the true depth of Slickbald\u2019s detailed carving. A magnifying lens is also helpful to see the intricate designs of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"He adds metal "spots" to some rigs.\" class=\"wp-image-396992\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adding-metal-spots\"><strong>Adding Metal Spots<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At many places on the outline or the body of the <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/cowboy-mounted-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">belt and holster<\/a>, Slickbald applied \u201cspots,\u201d or decorative metal studs that are used to further adorn the rig. Spots can come in many sizes and shapes and even colors. Squares, rectangle, circles, silver or brass. In fact, the earliest use of spots may be Native Americans, who applied brass tacks to their rifle stocks and used them as personal adornments. The rectangular pyramid spots hand-set on Bat\u2019s rig are for maximum bling. This is the way a Hollywood holster should look, according to Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another \u201cplain\u201d rig I found in the Slickbald\u2019s shop is also a double buscadero. It is uniform black, trimmed with silver spots and large white fleur-de-lis designs. But upon closer examination, the fleur-de-lis designs are in fact cutout windows. Inside the window is cowhide. The white-hair inlay is a perfect contrast to the black finish. The look is so simple and so authentic that it is elegant. Right out of a Hollywood \u201cB\u201d Western. Its fault? A measurement was taken incorrectly, then not discovered until\u2026 much later in Slickbald Custom Holsters process. Now you begin to understand Slickbald.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_004-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"This is a one man shop\" class=\"wp-image-396995\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-one-man-shop\"><strong>One Man Shop<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald\u2019s shop is a one-man operation, and although it\u2019s not cramped, it is well filled. A table is devoted to cutting and assembling. A sturdy office desk features a large granite slab and several light fixtures, the drawers filled with stamping and carving tools. There is a booth to apply dyes. There are not your typical blacks and shades of brown, but nearly 60 different colors and hues of dyes. In one corner is a tall rack of cardboard holster patterns, alongside of which are steel straps and a hydraulic press that can quickly punch out familiar blanks. Another workbench is solely for finishing the burnishing, waxing, buckles, snaps and spots\u2014all of the fine touches and glitter. Transitioning from station to station, Slickbald moves effortlessly and yet with purpose as each steps build upon the other in the creation of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that the double buscadero is the most favored rig that Slickbald creates. It is the largest \u201ccanvas\u201d available in a holster rig. Although Chris does not admit it, he appears to have a penchant for red roses. What I think are some of Slickbald\u2019s most beautiful and true-to-life carvings are of red roses. One particular holster I saw had large, full-bloom roses, and the belt was adorned with intertwining green stems, leaves and flowers in various states of blossoming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/slicbald_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Slickbald Custom Holsters\" class=\"wp-image-396996\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-slickbald-custom-holsters-in-a-class-of-his-own\"><strong>Slickbald Custom Holsters - In a Class of His Own<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Slickbald can teach you the skills required to build any of the multitude of holsters and belts he makes. He does this in one-on-one classes and as part of the education programs at leather shows. His training is clear, precise and well laid out for the student to both experience and succeed at Western holster making. Slickbald is in a league of his own. He carefully designs, carves and finishes the designs that distinguish his customers. He is happiest when a customer gives him free reign to create. And his results do not disappoint. Slickbald\u2019s creations should be hung on a wall to admire, yet are commonly seen on the firing line, showcasing the best of Slickbald Custom Holsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/slickbald.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">http:\/\/slickbald.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","post_title":"Learn About The Artistry That Inside Each of Slickbald Custom's Western Holsters","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"slickbald-custom-holsters","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:02:44","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:02:44","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=396988","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":395997,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-23 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-23 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHIELD Sights is a British Company that has been making sights since the 1980s.

Riflescope<\/a> from Steiner infuses the baseline attributes of a traditional riflescope with some serious Information Age tech. This state-of-the-art 8X optic integrates a built-in ballistics calculator and Heads-Up Display (HUD) into the sight itself. The ePredator automatically accounts for inclination and air pressure to help neutralize the little things that can foment big problems with practical long-range accuracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Intelligent Hunting Solution (IHS) interfaces with the Steiner Connect app as well as Steiner ePredator LRF 10x42 Laser Rangefinding Binoculars. This synergistic combination projects real-time range and ballistics data directly into the riflescope HUD. Dial the turret setting to the displayed range, align the reticle, and squeeze the trigger. Precision shooting will never be the same again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ePredator 8 is built around a 34 mm tube for maximum light transmission and remains fully operational as a conventional riflescope in the absence of battery power. The expansive tech is designed to be intuitive and easy to use so you can stay in your scope rather than outside fiddling with stuff. The MSRP is $3,295.99.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-leica-fortis-glossy-nbsp\">Leica Fortis Glossy <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/19-Leica-Fortis-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Leica Fortis Glossy\u00a0\" class=\"wp-image-397092\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays our guns and gear are more than just tools to secure one\u2019s person or put game on the table. This deep into the Information Age, our weapons are also fashion statements. That basic truism drives us to take Krylon to our favorite AR and opt for FDE combat handguns rather than the basic black. Now Leica has taken their respected quality optics and packed them into a chassis that is quite simply gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/leica-camera.com\/en-US\/sport-optics\/hunting\/riflescopes\/fortis-glossy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leica Fortis Glossy<\/a> starts with top-end glass and class-leading engineering. Leica has been around since 1869. They know how to make optics. Leica offers three different models in this line--1-6x24i, 1.8-12x42i and 2-12x50i. All of them are built around 30mm tubes. Modern stuff like automatic illumination with auto-on\/off technology ensures Information Age performance. However, that\u2019s just the starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once these scopes are assembled, Leica\u2019s artisans invest 1.5 hours apiece in polishing the chassis into a piece of gleaming mechanical art. The end result is the perfect addition to your favorite truly high-end hunting arm. This is serious ballistic eye candy. The MSRP ranges from $2,550 to $3,050 depending upon particulars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sightmark-presidio-1-6x\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/20-Sightmark-Presidio-1-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Sightmark Presidio 1-6X\" class=\"wp-image-397093\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/sightmark.com\/products\/presidio-1-6x24-cr1-sfp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sightmark Presidio 1-6X<\/a> is a cost-conscious LVPO that runs like a monkey after M&M\u2019s. Sightmark has built its well-earned reputation upon excellent quality, affordable pricing, and an enviable lifetime warranty. The Presidio 1-6X LPVO embodies all of that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Presidio features a CR1 Second Focal Plane reticle in a 30mm tube. The red illuminated reticle is plenty bright and has an off position interspersed between each power setting. There is an integrated throw lever for rapid magnification adjustments as well as capped turrets with .5 MOA adjustments. The Presidio can be had with either a quick detach or fixed mount. This well-executed optic offers everything you need without the fluff you don\u2019t all in a rugged package at a reasonable price. The MSRP is $299. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","post_title":"Top Glass: Best Riflescopes From SHOT Show 2025","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"best-riflescopes-shot-show","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-31 14:03:31","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-31 19:03:31","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/?p=397064","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":396960,"post_author":"1219","post_date":"2025-01-28 14:00:00","post_date_gmt":"2025-01-28 19:00:00","post_content":"\n<p>SHOT Show can be like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. The number of \"new\" products can be overwhelming. However, there was one item that caught my eye. I was walking through the SHOT Show Range Day and came across the bay for Silencer Central. Joe Kurtenbach, Senior Manager of Media & Relationships for <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/article\/silencer-central-meat-eater\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Silencer Central,<\/a> waved me in. He handed me a small feather light device and described the new suppressor. It was so small and light I thought it was a 3D plastic model. That was until they screwed it onto a Glock 18 full-auto pistol. One press of the trigger and a stream of brass sprayed the sky. Even at that speed, I noted the new can's excellent sound suppression and lightweight. I realized I had found a new must-have suppressor\u2014the Banish 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_001-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396961\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3d-printed-titanium-banish-9k\"><strong>3D Printed Titanium Banish 9K<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is a 9mm suppressor 3D printed from 100% high-grade titanium. This allows the 9K to be not only light but super strong as well. It is just 4.1 inches long and has a diameter of just 1.3 inches, making it one of the most compact 9mm suppressors available. It weighs just 2.7 ounces, too. Yes, you read that right\u20142.7 ounces. This compact size makes concealed carry possible with the Banish 9K suppressor.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_005-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"3D Printed withTitanium\" class=\"wp-image-396965\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Silencer Central knows that compact size and light weight don't mean much if the sound levels are still high. In that category, the Banish 9K exceeds expectations. It brings the levels down for 9mm rounds to 132 decibels at the ear. For 300 BLK subsonic rounds, it is even rated for full-auto fire. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_006-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"only 2.7 ounces\" class=\"wp-image-396966\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-no-booster-needed\"><strong>No Booster Needed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another unique feature of the 9K deals with its weight. The Banish 9K is so light that you don't need a booster for your pistol to function properly. Usually, with a pistol suppressor, there's an issue because the same energy the suppressor suppresses drives the action. A booster incorporates a small spring that pushes the barrel up, allowing the pistol to cycle properly. That's not a concern with the 9K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img class="lazy" src="data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201%201'%3E%3C/svg%3E" data-src=\"https:\/\/dev.athlonoutdoors.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/banish9k_003-1024x575.webp\" alt=\"Banish 9K\" class=\"wp-image-396963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-banish-9k-small-size-huge-performance\"><strong>Banish 9K - Small Size - Huge Performance <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Banish 9K is offered with 1\/2x28 standard or 13.5x1LH metric direct thread options. It is caliber rated for the 9mm and every caliber below, giving you many options for how you use it. The super small footprint and its unbelievably light weight make the Silencer Central Banish 9K an incredible suppressor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information, visit:<a

The owner had worn the rig out and wanted a new rig built along the same pattern. The wear?
