Last of the video on making a gun belt. If you made it through them all, you have gone above and beyond the call of duty.
Bam Bam Holsters Bench
Lots of Thanksgiving family gatherings this week resulted in half as much time in the shop, so half as much done. Not over loaded with orders anyways and family time is precious time.
The videos are really for people to see what goes into making a gun belt. And a chance for people that never enter my shop to be able to meet the infamous Bam Bam. Its just me being me. They are not theatrical performances, but rather a simple meet and greet as I make a belt.

Everyone should know and live the four rules of gun safety. 1. Treat every gun as if it is loaded 2. Keep your finger off the trigger until the sights are on the target. 3. Never point your gun at something you are not willing to destroy 4. Be aware of your target and what is beyond your target. I think that the whole concept behind #4 is being aware of that which is going to make contact with your bullet. We are not to shoot indiscriminately, "pray and spray" just hoping that we hit something. Every bullet is going to hit something. We need to be aware of what is going to be hit. The gun that we carry, is typically for self defense. Rule #4 is the reason for self defense ammo. Self defense ammo is made to be less likely of coming out of the intended target. The cheaper FMJ ammo is good for practice, but not so much for daily carry. The FMJ is a hole puncher. Its going in the intended target and then out the other side. Now, whats on the other side is in the path of your bullet. Even if we carry proper 'expanding" ammo, we must be aware of what is on the other side of the target since you are going to be responsible for what ever it hits. In the shooting sports such as USPSA and IDPA there are targets that are deignated friendly or "no shoot" targets. These targets can be in front of or behind the "threat' targets. One has to negotiate when and where to shoot the threat, without shooting the non threat target. Once again seems like a good reason to play those sports. Think about it.
