Holsters

[Goldendog Redux]

I am always looking for the better mousetrap (holster).

I use:
Uncle Mike's Pocket Holster (works fine)

Bianchi Minimalist OWB (works ok if I thread belt over holster.)
http://www.bianchi-intl.com/prodimages/105_l.jpg

Bianchi Professional IWB (Not recommended I have had the whole rig pop out of the waistband. Would be OK with belt loop)
http://www.bianchi-intl.com/prodimages/100_l.jpg

Galco Side Snap Scabbard. (would not recommend...Holster too large for gun, gun rides too low. Can get much better for price)

5-11 holster pouch in cargo pocket of work pants

Thanks, i'm sure you will be happy with it. And if you are not, i'll do what it takes to get it right for you. But i'm not worried about it, all have been happy so far.

For an interesting "read", go to the S&W Forum, 1847 to 1945 Revolvers section, in the thread titled Vintage Guns and Leather.

On page eight or so, there are several photos of pocket holsters, dating back to the late 19th/early 20th century, that bear a strong resemblance to what we can get today. Just another proof (to me, anyway) that there really isn't anything "new" gun-related in regards to concealed carry; the same principles have held true since man had small cartridge handguns available to him.

Personally, I have a Kramer pocket holster that works perfectly in loose pockets, such as 5.11 trousers- which is all I wear these days. And the el cheapo Uncle Mike's offering served me well with the 360PD. I feel that those little nylon "softies" are a bit light for a 15 ounce or heavier snubby, such as the 442 I'm using now. But for the twelve-ounce AirLites, it worked great. I'll go back to it when I get the 342.

I would like to have a pocket holster made from very thin horsehide. The Kramer is a bit thick. What I'm looking for is a combination of the light, thin qualities of the nylon and the stability of the Kramer- it is wider and doesn't move around in the pocket like the Uncle Mike's (or a Mika, for that matter) does.

That home-made job in the first photo of the Preacher's post is something like I'm talking about. But its gotta be horsehide; very thin cow leather gets too supple after hard use.

I'm sending you an e-mail via your site.

Be careful about running "ads" here; if sombody rats you out to Eric, he has been known to go psychotic over the issue.

Of course, one guy he banned for that desperately needed it, but that's another story... ;)

.Eric reserves the "psycotic side" for those who earn it. :tbo:

stmcelroy's doing fine...

A Model 10 up top, and a Model 19 below....

A better pick of the Model 19 holster...

The enclosed pouch on the belt is for a speedloader...
