Parked in the parking lot, walked into the range. Another place in time, for a while I used a 2 long gun case with a shoulder strap and a shoulder bag for ammo. Revolvers holstered, unloaded. A different era. More fun, at least for me.

The big issue that even fine off the shelf can't generally address is actual head shape. I have a couple of off the shelf, but several customs. Most of the customs are a perfect fit, and you will not wear out a good one. I wear a Western hat daily - took me 24 years to wear out a favorite Resistol my wife gave me. Customs last generations - a rancher friend has his Fathers and Grandfathers handmades. They still look great.

The gator was Fast but a chubby never an athlete middle aged business man proved to be faster, got into the condo. The gator stopped at the steps.
