You mean a regular plastic "hook" to hang up a coat?  I want something that looks like a gun holster so I can store my Act-Lab light gun in on the side of my Mame cabinet.  Having a hook to hang the gun on would look weird (ie: unprofessional).  If you do not mean a normal coat hook, then please give me a part number or picture of what you mean.

That was just a quick Idea.  You can buy holsters but it will cost at least 20 or more bucks.  Go to a gun shop and tack it on your arcade.  Cant get more realistic than that!

Yeah, but who wants to spend $20 just for a gun holster.  I saw one type of metal gun holster on an arcade game which mounted the gun on the side and it looks cool.  

Just wanted to buy on of those cheap.

I could even make one I guess....

I think you might be better off making one just because it would be cheaper.  On the other hand, the act labs gun is a different shape/size than the Happs guns.  A holster that protected and secured the acts lab gun would be the best display of it.  Maybe Actlabs should have provided an inexpensive molded plastic holster ;)


On a side note, I thought I saw some holsters that were plastic.  Or was it just painted metal?

Happ has three holsters, but none are side mount.  I'm going to front-mount mine, both to keep the sides clear and to not discriminate against my left-handed wife.... :) I'll probably use leather or vinyl to make one...

Home Depot has to have some sort of fiberglass kit I would think.
