Where a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
You figure somebody has all The Matrix DVDs.
Well, sure as shit he can’t carry concealed with that get up. But couldn’t at least get some sort of retention holster? Maybe he could not afford it because he spent the money on the 30 round mag and he is still making payments on the tats.
Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Not to mention the cost of cigarettes…
True! Since I quit I had not been paying attention. Today at Walgreens I saw they were almost $7!
In the people’s republic of Mass-a-two-shits the brand name ones run $9.50 plus. Mo plenty good moneys for the tax man.
Must be a mother when he gets in the car to drive to the smoke store. (Unless he has a hole poked through the back of his seat.)
I live in an open carry state, and in the past three years I’ve seen over a dozen open carriers. Not one had a retention holster (I can only remember two that even had thumb breaks; the rest were all open top Kydex) and none of them made me think I couldn’t walk up behind them and steal their gun before they could react. In fact, several people in my state have had their openly carried pistols stolen from them. It’s almost become commonplace.
I don’t think open carry should be illegal, but I do think it’s stupid about ninety percent of the time.

Thumbbreaks / retention holsters / etc… You can thank lawyers advising police departments. Truth is, for the average carrying Joe, a quality (ie: not Galco/Bianchi/insert-big-name-brand-here) hand-fitted and hand-crafted holster will not need added shit to provide “safety” or “retention”. A properly fitted holster will bind that gun up like an elephant stuck up a gnats ass when someone tries to “steal” the gun, because unless you draw it properly, the gun won’t come out of the holster.
And yes, I know what I’m talking about. And I show my walk-in customers this very same thing, and they see it with their own eyes and try it with their own hands.
Then suddenly, they tell me that my “very expensive” $170 paddle rig isn’t so expensive, along with my now convinced customer telling me that I’m selling my holster way too CHEAP for how well they are built and how well they perform.
They guy in the picture isn’t doing the pro-gun culture any favors, I’ll agree…but statements that seem to insist that thumbreaks and level bazillion retention are necessary also don’t do us any favors…
This is my experience too. I get quality fitted leather holsters, and without a bit of practice it is difficult to draw fast and smooth from them. But get a poorly fitted holster and you can watch the gun fall out by doing simple jumping jacks. holsters are probably the least understood arcane art of firearms ownership, and there is a lot of shit and bandwagoning going on, making it difficult to sort out the crap (both merchandise and advice).

I’m looking for the Aimpoint and the Compensator.
Nope, nothing there. He needs to spend more money to take advantage of his Open Division.
If people really want OC to be more accepted, they need to class it up a bit.
You know, engraved SAA revolvers in hand-tooled holsters. Custom 1911’s with stag stocks and good looking gunleather.
Because that photo exudes the same vibe as a 40 year old single wide trailer being used as a meth lab.
