• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

First time, need options

Probably not the one I carry, but one of the others I might.

The problem is the barrel length. Why not try a 5"? Like a Dan Wesson Pointman 7 or a Razorback? Your OC holster troubles would be over.

I have a Pointman 7 and it's awfully good to shoot. I like it better than my G20. Which, of course, is another 10mm option. No lack of holsters for a G20.

[align=left]The slide showing is not a problem anywhere that I know of, though you'll want to do your own legal research.
As for the crossdraw, it is a very good carry option, so long as you practice rolling your wrist (so as to avoid sweeping the muzzle across all sorts of targets). You may not be able to use crossdraw at the range, though.
It should not open you up for retention problems. After all, if someone wants to snatch it, they'll have to come from the front or reach across your body.
There's a very good chance you'll end up with a holster or two that end up gathering dust, but try a few and you'll probably find one that will feel right.
