What's the big deal?

I carry openly, all the time and everywhere. Here is my picture with a Marlin 30-30 just purchased at a gun show.

Keep up the good work Mama.

That's an interesting holster and belt combo.

Big Gay Al, that picture is about 4 years old. I've since gotten a much better belt. :) The holster is a "desk rider." It can be worn cross draw or appendix. I cannot reasonably draw straight up from any belt holster, and this was what I found that worked for me. The draw is fast, smooth and I can present that .45 front and center with little time or effort wasted. I use and teach something called "Fist-Fire", a point and shoot system that gives me great control and stability. This is, of course, for short range shooting. Longer range requires use of the sights.

I'd be interested in a holster like that. At 55 (soon to be 56 years of age) I have "acquired" some of the usual effects of aging. And my job as a security officer has me sitting more often that not.

Ha! I'm 65, and know just what you mean. :) Unfortunately, the outfit that made that holster was sold and the new owners make only "cowboy action" stuff now. I don't know where you'd find one just like it, but it's a good one. I'm tempted to take my oldest one and see if I can't "reverse engineer" it or talk some small gun leather outfit into making some. Would be more expensive for a while, but this holster is ideal for a lot of older, short waisted people who struggle with the standard type. And it IS darn comfortable for sitting and driving. My recent 500 mile (each way) trip to Colorado gave me no troubles at all far as the holster was concerned. And if you want to conceal it, just flop a shirt or jacket over it.
