My New Sleevegun

[SchubroProductions]

This is a sleevegun I just made based on the old Wild Wild West one that Robert Conrad used. I remember the great pictures everyone had posted a while back from my original sleevegun. This one is based off of Indy Mogul's and thesonofabob quick draw rigs from youTube. It works like a charm, and I can attach anything to it from derringers to wooden stakes.

It's made from an old drawer slide, a couple of springs, some L-brackets and an aluminum tube to hold the monofilament release.

When I saw 'Sleevegun' in the titel I immediately though about Wild Wild West! I so wanted a rig like that when I was weatching the series on my parents' B&W TV back in the 70s!

Does it make a loud noise when activated? How is the gun/stake attach to it, and how do you get said weapon off of the rig and into your hand?

I'd so buy one (or two) if you offer it for sale! Though I would most probaly use it to impress chicks by having my handphone magically appear in my hand when I need it :lol

I thought of the wrist dart used by Roger Moore's Bond. This is cool too!

How does it release?

Just a small click as the main slide stops. I have thought of several ways to attach a gun or stake. I am working on a clamp with a strong magnet bottom that can attach to a derringer handle or be screwed up through a wooden stake. The magnet would just attach to the slide.

Or I might put several tapped holes in it to hold any number of items to screw on.

How does it release?

A piece of monofilament runs from the L-shaped piece through an aluminum tube on the side to a ring on my finger. When I flex my wrist, the L-shaped piece releases the slide which is held taut by a spring.

You could attach a lightsaber to it as well.

Aww cool. I made one of these for my portfolio but was no where near as slick as this rig, exact same operation though. I attached a pen to one which provides great effect.

An issue I did have though was that the amount of travel from the slide was not enough to either have a gun reach the hand in the right place, or the gun wasn't hidden up the sleeve well enough.

Lovely piece of work, I've watched many a film and TV programme with sleeve holsters and always wanted one.
