HOWDY! My name is (really) Roy Evans and I've been crafting custom gun rigs for nigh on twenty five years, and I think I offer an attractive replica b-western rig and at a more affordable price of your favorite western stars such as Roy, Gene, Hoppy or just about any other you might wish to have a replica of the rig they wore in those western movies when we all gathered at our local theatre on Saturday mornings to cheer them on in their fight for law and order astride their great steeds and wearing those fabulous gun rigs with the fancy silver spots and carving. My rigs are all crafted completely by hand in the time honored method of crafters of a century ago. They are both beautiful and functional as they are built to last (and use!) if so desired in sass matches or any such activities connected with Old West themes. Thanks for looking amigos and happy trails to ya.   ~~~ Roy

I do repairs to all makes of cap guns with twenty plus years experience and usually at a lower cost and quicker turnaround, custom polishing and cleaning after repairs are done, I try to return guns as close to original condition as possible, also do "custom" work to the Mattel shooting shell .45 (see pictures) price quotes on this work available upon request.

ROY AT WORK


Lone Ranger Bohlin Style Gun Rig
Return now to those thrilling days when the Masked Rider led the fight against the bad guys wearing that fancy all black two-gun outfit with the fancy nickel spots. My version is true to the original using the same three spot design on belt and holsters and is crafted of the best quality vegetable tanned leather available, carved by hand in the original pattern as was on the Bohlin Rig and stitched completely by hand in the traditional method. Construction of your rig begins as soon as payment is received with the sending of an adjustable belt blank which you set to your desired belt size and return to me to insure a perfect fit.

This is a Custom Made item requiring from four to six weeks to complete and ship.

Guy Madison as Wild Bill Hickok Rig
Heres a favorite rig of mine as I was a huge fan of Guy Madison as Wild Bill Hickok.

This rig is attractive and very durable, all fully carved and leather lined and sporting a heavy nickel buckle set as is used on all my rigs. As with all my "adult gun" rigs this one requires from 4 to 6 weeks to complete and ship.

Hopalong Cassidy "Open" Buscadero Rig
Calling all Hoppy fans! Here is a rig for you, faithful to the original design including the use of the unusual "open" Buscadero drops which were unique to the Hopalong rig in the beginning (later William Boyd had the maker add a panel inside the drop to make the set more sturdy, so specify whether you prefer the drops left open or with the added panel stitched in as on the later version). The rig is all black and fully lined and carved in the traditional manner and of course it has the distinctive white calf lacing on belt and holsters. As with all my "adult gun" rigs this one requires from 4 to 6 weeks to complete and ship.

Gene Autry Rig From Around 1946
Get back in the saddle again you Gene Autry fans with this true to original replica of the rig Gene used for most of his career from around 1946 or so. It is all handcrafted and fully lined, the holsters having the unusual "pocket" instead of the more common strap to secure the holster to the skirt. Carved bordered with contrasting calf lacing, this rig was a single right hand outfit with a place for a left holster which Gene never used and if so desired can be ordered as a double for a slight extra charge. As with all my "adult gun" rigs this one requires from 4 to 6 weeks to complete and ship.

FROM MATTHEWS, NC
As a Western memorabilia dealer, I have bought many holsters from Roy and have been pleased with each one. Larry Reed


FROM THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
Thank you Roy for your great service – your system for belt sizing worked perfectly and that was just one example of how your outstanding communication led to a happy customer. My holster rig is great and you helped me fill those holsters with some very realistic shootin’ irons! I look forward to doing business again. Tom


FROM WASHINGTON
I have had the pleasure of having Roy Evans make me three different Roy Rogers holsters. Each holster was a spitting-image of Roy Roger’s holsters from the 1950’s. Roy Evans has also reworked and repaired a few original cap gun holsters from the 50's and 60's and returned them to me looking like new. Roy adds a true western touch with his personal manner and is a pleasure to deal with.

I have attached a Roy Rogers Holster hand made by Roy with two rare Roy Roger’s Gold grip Classy Cap guns that Roy made repairs on as well. Your friend, Toby

FROM PENNSYLVANIA
The second major element of the cap gun hobby is the matching double holster outfit. Most of us only looked at these outfits in the Montgomery Wards catalog the weeks before Christmas, but never did get them. Roy Evans has come to our rescue with reproduction outfits that are blueprinted from the few remaining examples. Roy's holsters are built using best leather, dyes, hardware, and the best part is that they are as carefully carved as the orginals. Let's face the fact: Many Mattel, Hubley and Nichols cap guns have survived to collector condition, but many more have not. Roy is a super cap gun smith and can get these pieces nearly perfect mechanically and cosmetically. Roy is fun and informative to talk with and can get these cap guns and holsters looking like Christmas morning, 1950. Every thing I have purchased is as promised and not the lag time you may fear waiting for your stuff. Thanks, Greg


FROM NORWOOD, NC
Roy: It is with great pleasure that I give you a recommendation for the leather work that you do. I have known you for many years and during that time you have made for me many holster sets to fit certain guns. Always I have been very satisfied. I have done many shows and will put the work by you up against anyone. I wish you lots of success. —Larry
