Over on SA snyd asked to see pics of well used leather and I pulled this retired bandito from a storage box cause I bought a replacement... Never thought much about it until asked to show old leather and realized this rig has traveled many miles... After a hunt I would use my knife to scratch in the place I hunted.. Anyway I thought it might be intersting for you guys to see.....

It's not the gun, but the man behind it.

That was a neat ideal to help remember all your hunts with it.

That things been around...
It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

I bet that brought back some memories, James. Too cool!
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

You just retired it cause you ran out of room.

Neat idea. Better than a notch on your gun.

Very cool. I bet that holster could tell some great stories.
The meat won't fry if the lead don't fly.

James that is just way too cool! Bring it out of retirement, and have some hide stretcher add a skirt to it so you can add more places. Haa

If that holster could talk, then again you might not want it too.

Great Idea! I used to keep a journal of my small game hunts I had with my first dog. When he passed me and my hunting buddies read thru it... pretty cool indeed!!

ONE OF MY REGRETS IN LIFE IS THAT I DID NOT KEEP A CONTEMPORANEOUS JOURNAL OF MY HUNTS. THEY SAY THAT A SHORT PENCIL IS BETTER THAN A LONG MEMORY, NOW I KNOW WHY.
"ADAPT OR DIE". I USE ALL CAPS, NOT BECAUSE I AM YELLING, BUT BECAUSE IT IS AN OLD HABIT FROM MY ARMY DAYS, PLUS IT IS EASIER TO TYPE AND READ.

Rey, Even if you wrote down the basic`s of each hunt (game-gun-load-country-etc.) it would have helped remember the entire day...The closest I have to notes are the recovered bullets I have, each with a note of animal taken and before/after bullet weights..... well... maybe in our next life....
