Tarnished cartridges

I’d just carry the pistol (after a thorough inspection). That thing would hold 5#’s of Ammo.

Chuck a 45 cal nylon brush in your drill to clean the verdigris off the leather. Wipe the ammo down with a cloth. Shoot as you normally would.

If I'm putting together a rig that uses belt loops I make sure to load using nickel cases.

Gun needed a cleaning, had lint and dust everywhere. Its probably never been shot by him, cleaned up pretty good.
