Check these holsters out! These would be so great on a cab!

Maybe I'm not thinking creatively, but how would that mount on a cabinet?  That picture doesn't seem all that clear.

Also, that white color has GOT to go!  Not a bad idea though.  Not bad at all...

Those look like the same holsters that my original serial A-L lightgun came with.  They hold the gun very well, but you'd probably have to just stick the base inside the cabinet.. I doubt you'll find a way to mount it without making it a rig-job..

If it helps, it's just a plastic base with thick rubber inside that holds the gun firmly enough so it doesn't wobble around or fall out.  LOL, ask A-L if they'll just sell you the rubber inserts :D

Since I have the gun system with the same base..

I can say... these are (1) ugly, (2) don't hold the guns all that well, (3) can't be split to put one on each side, (4) overprice, (5) did I say ugly!

I'm kind of annoyed that they didn't come up with anything better myself.  I think a hardware screw in hook on the sides would be better then this thing myself

You guys need DIY gun holsters.  All it'd take is some thick leather-like fabric, and a little bit of sewing.

Ages ago when I built my cab I reserved a section in the front under the control panel box for guns.  Now that I actually have one I'll simply trace the front of the gun, cut a hole and line it with something soft so it doesn't scratch.  

It seems to be the only "professional" way to do it imo. Anything else is gonna look like a generic holster botched on the side.

That's what I remember light gun cabs having though, a holster tacked somewhere on the machine so you could "draw" when you walked up to it.
