achilles return Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I've got a while to go before I can get my GFL, but I was wonder what kind of set up the guys here had. Do you IWB? OWB? Shoulder holster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pencilpusher. just because Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 OWB and ankle. Not at the same time...just depends on how I'm dressed. Probably not too concealed with your jorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsupersport Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 My GFL expired last June, but when I do have one, I carry most of the time in front pocket a .22 5 shot revolver. Sometimes a .380 in back of pants on belt, and others the 9mm under the arm. I don't carry the .44 unless I am going hunting or shooting targets.

Shoulder holster?IWB. Do NOT use a shoulder holster. You will at some point want to remove the covering garment and it will be a cluster. You also cannot do a decent 4-point draw out of one, and you seriously risk covering your offside arm on the draw. For similar reasons, do not use a crossdraw holster. IWB or OWB, strongside right behind the point of the hip is the way to go.P.S., the Comp-Tac, Sidearmor and Blade-Tech are good kydex holsters, and IMHO, the Milt Sparks Executive Companion is the gold standard for leather IWB holsters. I personally use the Blade-Tech -- it works the best for me and the particular gun I have (Glock 19). You'll love it -- it has the little Christian Ichthys (fish) on it (or at least they used to -- I bought mine about 8 years ago). But it is quality equipment, as are the others I recommended.

My roommate is giving me a lot of crap for it, but I figure - its reliable, has the inherent safety of the hammer, and it's pretty simple to maintain. I'm really likin' this Ruger Blackhawk in .45.Advice is welcome, even if its something I don't want to hear, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd get a more appropriate carry gun, personally. DA revolver or a good self-loader (which also requires a ton of practice, BTW). But if you're wedded to the single-action, go with the best OWB strongside you can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backnblack Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 If you are insistent on a six shooter might I suggest this sort of arrangement to carry. If you go automatic maybe the Plaxico Burress System would be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backnblack Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Perhaps he would like to exercise some of his rights given through the constitution?There are all sorts of rights in the Constitution. I have no problem with this particular one...though I am not sure that carrying a concealed weapon is specifically mentioned in the document. I was just wondering why he felt the need to arm himself.

It seems ever day we're reading more and more f'd up stuff in the news. I would probably do it as well, however, I'm not a fan of handguns.

Tootie Quivers Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Perhaps he would like to exercise some of his rights given through the constitution?I have never understood that reasoning. Plus, I am not sure it explicitly says that in the constitution. In some states though, yes, it's not illegal to carry a gun on your person...sure. It's also not illegal to pick my nose and eat my boogers in public, but I am not going to do it just because I won't get in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
