Hello Everyone,
- Thought a interesting and informative topic would be to exchange ideas on styles of open carry. Describe your personal way of carrying. Do you prefer pistol or revolver? High and tight "off duty" rigs. Drop loop old school six-gun. tacticalmolle leggear. inside pants or ??what ya got??
- Why did you choose that style, what kind of reactions do you get from your style? Have you tried different styles? and do you get different reactions with those changes?
- What kind of thoughts do you have on various gear that others wear and describe.
- I would be very interested to know. I am a 100% CC guy atm, i would love to OC, but i am unsure what to start with. This would provide a lot of insight for some of us that have been CC and interested in converting.
:celebrate- I'll toss a couple ideas based on my personal gear/pistol sets.
* I usually have a Colt .45 Combat commander in a concealed pant holster. Obviously, no reactions here as it,s CC.
* Thought about changing out to my CZ75 9mm on a Molle style Leg holster. The rig it tactical style with an extra pouch on each side of the holster. Guess i am concerned people would react strangely around the rig as it is kinda got that desert storm feel to it.. The holster is a full flap UM84 deal, so at least that covers the pistol more, doesn't lookas "ready" as an open top snap release... Still screams "Hi i got a gun on my leg"..lol...
* Also though about just putting "sparky" (colt .45 combat commander) on my exterior belt holster, but i would definitely have my permit with me as any shirt or jacket covers the high riding holster. I use an old knife case for the spare mag. Not as noticeable, so i'm sure i'd only get looks when it's actually noticed. It's a simple sleak molded leather piece that fits tight against my side.
* Then my personal favorite, what i'd REALLY like to carry, but figure it would get the most notice, and that would be a single action .45 wheel-gun on an old school drop loop holster, nice tan leather.. looks very traditional American... still screams "Hi - gun on leg"... Could also use my Ruger GP100 in same rig with similar holster.
:dudek - your turn, your thoughts and what ya got ?
