Well I finally received my Dan Wesson .357 Magnum pistol pack and I'm quite pleased with it. I decided to carry it for a while to get used to where and how it sits in a Galco pancake holster.
Naturally, being a semi-auto shooter I'm not exactly comfortable carrying a revolver or speedloaders, so I've got to get my brain in training mode and get used to this thing if I'm going to use it for IDPA.
So my question is this: Do any of you have any quality tips for carrying a revolver and speedloaders (open or concealed does not matter) as far as placement on the body and angle of the holster?
Pistol is a 15-2 with a 2 or 4 inch barrel at any point in time. (depends on my mood and how I'm shooting that week) I've already noticed that this particular Galco rides verticle and has no cant at all, which makes me have to draw to the armpit to clear the muzzle with the Hogue woody that's on it. So I'm already thinking FBI canted holster is the way to go.
I do have a Safariland 333 carrier coming for my loaders, but placement will be an issue with that as well.
I know it's going to take time to get used to the change and that I'll be a stronger shooter for bridging that gap, but the comfort level just isn't there like I had hoped it would be.
