IWB is more concealable. OWB is more comfortable . I got over my dislike of Kydex years ago and have several of each. I do not pocket carry. I want a quality holster that is easy to access and retains the firearm securely Both methods take getting used to. I carried both ways for 30 years both on and off duty. As an instructor I’ve examined dozens and dozens. Now I carry IWB almost exclusively. I won’t bother to recommend one as there are so many of very good quality on the market now. Carrying will probably never be completely comfortable. The human body just isn’t designed for it. But with research and trial and error you will find a holster that is effective and more comfortable than the others. I never open carry. Never.

Yes. Condition one is the only sensible way to carry a SA auto.

My wife drank almond milk when she was in her kidney cancer therapy. Apparently the lack of calcium is better for you. I still drink it occasionally.

As soon as it got a little altitude I would have just ejected and then resigned my commission when they picked me up.. Why press your luck? 😁

Did he go around and land back on the boat? 😧 Because if he did, he deserves another Air Medal for that!! https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/a-us-navy-pilot-narrowly-avoided-crashing-into-the-sea-by-as-little-as-16-feet-after-a-catastrophic-failure-aboard-his-aircraft-carrier/ar-AA1ytcA0?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=bbd32fe77193444ebd028c86ffb1da24&ei=27

Yup. A gun was a tool to them. Like a knife or a shovel they were smart enough to leave the hammer on an empty chamber too.

Always tell your doctor if you have TB, an infection or are pregnant or plan to be. You’re welcome.

Well, that’s why they call it safe cracking. 😉

Thisnis why I won’t get another dog at my age.

That kinda describes me too.😂

It’s not unusual to see an 1800s SAA with numerous dents on the bottom of the grip frame. I have examined several. These came from cowboys hammering barb wire to fence posts. I think I even saw a Remington painting depicting this once. A pistol was a tool in the true sense back then.

I released the Lazy Bob version of Punxsutawney Phil this morning. He saw his shadow….and mine too. Didn’t seem pleased. With more winter on the way I did some interior decorating in the Fortress. Still lacking a few details but all the essentials are in place. 😁

Pacman, my faithful show eater breathed his last buzzing breath last year. 😪Debated getting another but with the Kubota and atv plow I don’t really have much need for one. Only a bit of shoveling around the porch is necessary. I found videos on line about how to modify it to avoid picking up rocks and busting shear pins.. It worked great! -
Just saw a doorbell video. It came straight in like a missile. Looked like it was in full throttle. It was definitel going faster than terminal velocity. I’m thinking there was no engine failure. Full of fuel. One helluva explosion.

The No 5 is a very collectible piece these days. There are hundreds of bogus ones on the market which are made by cutting down and modifying a No 4. Even the bayonets go for big bucks!

The whole thing is ridiculous.
