peg board for pistols

[david1]

Does anyone know how to make a pegboard to hold pistols? I want to try to make one but am having a hard time finding pictures and/or designs. Let me know what might be a good idea and ill go from there. Was thinking about taking plywood and making holes every couple of inches on an angle to hold a few that I have.

Why not just buy regular pegboard at your local home-improvement store?

^^^This.

You can get 4x8 sheets or 2x4 sheets and add to it as needed. Then there are many different types of pegs to choose from there as well.

Pegboard is the fast answer. Just make sure you get rubber covered hooks. If you can't find them there are a few companies that make pint cans with the liquid rubber coating in them you can dip them in.

Someone had posted some pics of a safe door that someone had installed some thread pools on, to hold the pistols. This idea seems that it could work with you peg board idea.

HD has some power tool hooks that would be perfect for handguns. They are rubber coated and mount right on the pegboard. Just got some for the garage yesterday.

Contact Fr0sty in the Lebanon section. He has some cool rubber coated hook things on his that work perfect, basically two hooks all one piece

Not sure where he gets them from

You can get the heavy duty (like 1/4") pegboard at Lowes or Home Depot. I couldn't find any plastic coated hooks when I got mine, so I got some shrink wrap for wiring from the electrical dept. & put it on the hooks. Works good.

thanks for the information I didnt know you could get rubber coated hooks. Also, do they have nice wood boards or only the thinner dark brown partical board or whatever that is made of. Thanks for the information.

You'll want tempered particle board & it's about 1/4". Be aware, there is particle board, then there's tempered particle board. You can get white, but most is dark brown. You can always get a can of spray paint.

Wood of the thickness you need for peg board hooks (1/4") wouldn't hold up very well.

If you really want wood, you can get a piece of furniture grade 3/8 or 1/2" plywood, bore holes for dowels or Shaker pegs where you want to hang your guns, then stain or finish it the way you want.
