Holster for ActLabs TV USB Light Gun
« on: February 29, 2004, 08:10:55 pm »
Ok, I do not want to make a holster and I do not want to get a "true" gun holster.   I really want to find an arcade gun holster which fits the ActLabs TV USB light gun.   Thing is, I need it to be able to be mounted on the "side" of my arcade cabinet.    Does anyone know where to get (or from which game to get) an arcade gun holster which mounts to the side of a cabinet?

Many people are interested in this, and as yet I haven't seen any good solutions that are fairly simple to implement.  If you find any thing, please share.

Raider used 2x4 strap mounts as holsters on his EmuChrist cab.  Not a perfect solution, but not bad either...

I don't know of any any arcade holsters that will fit the act-labs gun, so you're left rolling your own I believe.  I've heard of people using various items like cup holders, rubber molding, large pipes, etc. to mount them (whatever works best for you).  Some have even made traditional leather holsters as well.  Others have simply cut a hole in the front or side of the cabinet and lined the edges with felt.  I planning on using a 3" black pipe coupler lined with felt.

Good luck in your quest for the perfect holster!  If you find something you think works well, let us all know.
