Thanks, John,

I've been thinking of purchasing the "ivories" and "jigging" them myself with a dremel tool and then darkening the cuts. I bet I could make them as nice as the ones I've seen but can't seem to purchase.

Rich, Hollywood holster maker Andy Anderson is credited with making McQueen's rig for Magnificent Seven movie. He is no longer in business, as far as I know. Here is some interesting trivia about the production:

Some interesting trivia of my own is that I visited the location as a young kid just after the movie was made. All I knew at the time was that a "cowboy" film had recently been made there. We were visiting to climb to a local piramid which is halfway up the mountain, but the village and locations were still there.

I don't remember ever hearing good reports concerning the products/grips out of this N. Carolina firm. That is a real shame.

I own a 1871 Cimarron OT(Navy grip frame) in 44 cal and a 4 3/4in. bbl. that I really enjoy. It took a little "tuning" on a few things, but feel that it is a good replica, and a nice product for the money.

Doug, I just like that look. It doesn't have to be the actual rig or even a licensed clone. It was a holster for the 5 3/4" barrel but the character used a 7 1/2" barreled SSA in the movie, which is what I would want.

Sorry to get off-topic.

If you check the Cimarron catalog, they have faux MOP and faux Ivory grips for their SAA.
