I have a dilemma I present to the Escapist. I am putting together a Mal Reynolds cosplay for Collectormania Glasgow. I think i can find everything else required, I however require a Gun belt. I'm looking for something that is similar to Mals, but in the 20-25 Pounds price range (30-40 dollars) Can the Escapist help?
Edit: I'm from the U.K. We don't have gun stores.

I will be sure to post pics. My coat is ordered, and I'm tracking down the other stuff.

Buy a tool belt and modify it? Find a local army surplus store? Go to a gun store and buy a holster?

I'd start on Browncoats.net - I'm sure they have links there that will point you in the right direction. To my recollection there isn't anything particularly fancy abou the gun belt Mal wears as it appears to be little more than a 1 1/2" - 2" leather belt worn loosely. That said, I haven't looked closely enough to make any real judgement since I'm not into that whole cosplay thing (not to mention there aren't any conventions within reasonable driving distance from here to motivate me to give it a shot). I do know that one can purchase a replica of Mal's coat, though they are rather pricy (I think 400 USD or so). I'd buy that, but not because of cosplay - I just like the coat.

I'm getting a 100 USD coat, the 400 is a little too pricey for now.

Ahh, I feel you man. I heard it's a police state over there. Don't worry, us yanks are about to get the same treatment too. Obama's destroyed alot of our rights and basically is setting us up for NWO.
He made it harder to buy certain types of Ammunition. I dunno if he made it that way, but it has gotten harder to find certain bullets.

*Bowhunters FTW*

But yeh, I'd look on eBay, or Wal-Mart. Maybe try going to an American gun-supply website.

It both is and isnt we are far too accepting of things here, the legal systems a joke rapists and murderers getting 10-14 years (no death penalties) no right to bear arms of any kind, god forgive you if you even carry a knife or anything to keep yourself from getting killed fine/jailed even if you were attacked. All the while we have sharia law courts and muslim extremists wanting to turn britain into a saudi state and we let them protest and scream kill the infidels in the streets. Not even getting into London some parts of it are stricktly muslim now, walk down the wrong street get a hundred screaming fanatics demanding you dead in your own country.
