Hey there. A buddy O' mine is working on perfecting his Mal costume and was looking for the perfect Mal holster. Was wondering if the lot of yas had any suggestions for him? He's sorta the other half of my costume for DragonCon, so I do have a selfish reason for asking.

Thoughts??

Hello A-

Well , perfect is subjective...If you got one from the original supplier , or made it yourself , it might be considered
' perfect '...

But if ' close enough ' is good enough , here's one for you . It's about 50 bucks , and you still need to pair it with a gunbelt , but it's very nice for the money...If you want a lower-cost option , it's possible , but at somewhat greater cost to screen-accuracy...Just PM me , I'll send all the info , based on your choice...
This one is good quality , what I'd consider close-enough , and could easily be modded to be closer-still...

<

>
Plus , gunbelt on right is like Mal's , particularly the movie-version...
<

>
Here's one even cheaper , about 30 coin , and it's even closer to the thumb-break style of Mal's...Buckle could easily be added across the upper loop , and the lower loop could be tucked behind and stitched to the holster body , if desired .<

> Again , easily modded to be closer-still...
I like a 'cartridge' belt...Man's gotta have ammo , doncha think ? <

>
I think that's a .38/.357 shown , but a .44/.45LC would be more appropriate for a man of Mal's caliber , which is available also...Square Brass buckle looks nice...The gunbelts are ordered extra-extra big , so you get the correct 'slouch' ; so you just order a little bit bigger , so the embossed 'trademarks' can be cut off the end...really cheap 'Verse-costume and 'authentic' besides...Hope you find something of interest here...Let me know , I'll put you on the trail...

Askew-One , when your buddy gets this rig all together , it would be much appreciated if he'd post some pics here with his comments about how it has worked out .

Might help other folk with similar interests and goals...Thank ye kindly , mei-mei...

Those are nice , alright !...Nice and Pricey...
