Any idea? :dunno

You might get better/more relevant responses if you post a pic of your "futur cab". ;D

I need to finish my frontend and adjust the screen rotation before start to build it.

Well you chose the right stage of the build to consider what kind of holster to use. :lol
Do you have a sketch or pic of a build similar to what you're looking to do.
Different cab/CP shapes = different options.
The better you can describe your vision, the better we can offer suggestions.
Also, use the search term "holster" for numerous related posts. (search button at top of page ::))

Try getting in touch with kahlid74, ModernGamer or TopJimmyCooks.

I have two Arcade Guns as well on my cabinet. There are many threads in this forum that talk about holster solutions. Do a search. Perhaps one of those will work best for you. My solution is written about in the second link in my profile section below. It includes a photo as well:

I considered many options and ideas for a lightgun holster but finally settled on using a canvas side arm made for a pistol with an attached laser sight (bigger holster area). I bought a couple of these in the gun department of a local Scheels sporting goods store. The thing I liked about this solution was that it was a side mounted solution, lightweight, and didn’t require me to put any permanent holes into the side of the cabinet in order to secure them. I attached large black velcro strips to the cabinet itself and then attached the holsters to each velcro strip. The sides of the canvas holsters were already velcro ready, however, I did have to carefully strip each holster down to it’s bare element to make it work. They worked great and were still in keeping with that true arcade feel!

Look here: http://www.benchmasterusa.com/Single-Pistol-WeaponRAC-Velcro-Hook (http://www.benchmasterusa.com/Single-Pistol-WeaponRAC-Velcro-Hook)
I'll gonna buy a pair of these. I think they are well suited for an arcade cabinet and they cost only $12.99 each.
