What do you all think of this setup? SA enough? Anyone else deal with Western Stage Props? They did alright for me..the strap ring on the end of the gun swings, SA enough for me for Halloween...

Is Western gun a hard resin cast, or heavy rubber cast?

I just checked out the Western Stage Props site and it states the gun is rubber.

I've dealt with WSP a while ago - heck I even took a trip to Vegas to their workshop. Friendly people there, but that belt never really was SA enough for me. Particularly the metal keeper - it's WAY too thin, so I swapped it for a thicker keeper. The attached whip holder is an orange-brown color at first...much like the old WPG bag straps, but I remember one fall day, I was wearing the belt and when I came back inside, my holder was a darker brown 
I mean the color changed in a matter of minutes! The holster is a niece piece, however, I find that it doesn't really "sound" like leather when you handle it. It sounds more like rubbing a balloon, perhaps its just a matter of distressing 
I also noticed that the plug has come undone at the bottom and I only had it since '04. I kinda wish I had gotten a ToD/LC rig for the belt, because I find that I could use the belt as a REAL belt and could use the whip holder separated from the belt itself. The gun was rubber, but I sold it here to a member soon after I had gotten it, partially because I couldn't justify spending the $75 on a gun that doesn't really do anything - that along with the fact that it had a few "blemishes" that didn't really sit well with me. I remember I had to send the gun out in the mail because I couldn't pack it in with my luggage on the plane. Holster - yes; Gun - No! Anyways, that's my experience with WSP. On a side note, the following year, my parents decided to get my oldest brother a replica Peacemaker pistol from WSP for X-mas and they sent them one with a misshaped barrel. My mother said that they gave her a hard time with an exchange but they DID manage to send a new one in the mail.
