That is a very attractive design and with a flair of functionality to boot. Some sound thinking here. Please let us know how it sits on the hip and how easy it is to access the cartridges? Your leather master might have an order from this side of the Indian Ocean. Thanks for sharing your ingenious design. Masasa.

Thanks, I got the rough idea off AHs design from a couple of other photos he had posted, it is a sound design.

I had been looking at a number of the different culling belt style options but couldn't find exactly what I was after. I wanted the leather outer and protection over the cases whilst not having any of the brass touching leather. Josh was very accomodating and achieved excellent build quality based on my very specific specs.

It holds twelve rounds, has the capacity for the flaps to be lifted quickly by one hand and it is easy to draw two rounds with the same hand that lifted the flap and place them in the chambers. Took Josh a fair bit of work to get the canvas seated and sewn in nicely within the leather pouches but the finish is great.

As a rough guide, looking at $300 Aust dollars for this belt, he is happy to build to specs for any other extras and builds the loops to the specific cartridge case. I was very happy with this price given the build quality.

In terms of where it sits, I have it much like in AHs photos, first pouch round the front and second pouch on the side. I have been wearing it around the house to break it in a little and have found it very comfortable so far. I'll report back on it after I finished wearing it in the Northern Territory bush for a week and a bit - off that way in less than 2 weeks now to chase some water Buff.
