Arcadia Outlaw, SASS 71385 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 At my home club, we have quite a few folks who dont want to wear their revolvers all day, they put them in holsters mounted on guncarts and put them in the boxes of their guncarts. The host gun club did not like folks handling their revolvers behind the line and to be honest some folks were pretty sloppy about putting them in the boxes of guncarts, muzzle would be pointed down but as gun got closer to box folks would straighten them sometimes sweeping people, personally I dont like being swept, anyway to make everybody happy we put a extra table on each bay and also we made it to where shooters who want to take their guns off or out of holsters park their cart near side berm and make it easier to handle guns without sweeping folks. Being swept with a long gun in a guncart with action open is really no big deal part of life as a cowboy action shooter but being swept by a shooter holding the guns is a big deal anywhere and anytime.

Hollifer A. Dollar Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I made some cart holsters about a year ago & put my revolvers in them when not shooting. It takes a huge load off the belt & I can tell a big difference in how tired I am at the end of 6 stages. Holler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Four Pages, Seven Members following this thread......WOW I could tell you again what I do with my pistols.........but I won't I could tell you that Cypress Sun started this OP to covertly ask the question about dropping a pistol by a non active shooter being a SDQ..........but you wouldn't believe me Carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I like wearin my pistols. I keep them on from the parking lot until I either take a shower or have to have to go out in public (IE if I stop for gas on the way home). I've even done chores and gardening work (If you can call moving dirt to the garden for the wife 'gardening work') with my guns still on. Maybe the novelty will wear off eventually. Oh and I have the same problem someone else mentioned that I'm on the last notch on the belt and the weight of the guns will tend to pull the belt down. My solution to that was to put a regular belt on under it and tie the 2 together with a leather strap. It probably looks funny, but I never see me from that angle anyway. It'll work till I get around to buying a new rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Howdy, I usually wear mine until I shoot the last stage. However, two of the last three matches I shot, my back hurt. So, I may give some thought to taking them off. Regards, Allie Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil dogooder Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 I wear mine. Nowadays this is as close to exercise as i get outside of chasing kids. I'm just adding a little weight for strength training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driftwood Johnson, SASS #38283 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 So... I'm over by my gun cart taking my pistols out of my holsters to put them away and you go to the TO or PM and tell him that I swept you while you backed into my gun cart. You're saying that I would then get a SDQ? And that is why, when I am going to lunch, I walk over to a loading or unloading table, and unbuckle my gunbelt and lower it with the guns still in the holsters onto the table. Then I roll up the entire rig and walk over to my cart, with the muzzles pointing straight down, and stow them in the cart. After lunch I walk over to a loading or unloading table with the rig, pull the guns out of the holsters, lay them on the table pointing in a safe direction, buckle the gun belt on, then holster my guns. Nobody gets swept with anything. And no, I do not consider myself better than anybody, I just like wearing my pistols and feel silly walking around with empty holsters.

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 I've got one of those 4-gun wooden pistol racks from The Cowboy Shop. Fits the rugged gear gun carts my revolvers stay in same orientation as I pull them from the holsters and straight down into the rack. Don't sweep anything using this.

Two Spurs Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Yep and besides we might get attacked and I'd need them... That's a good one. Bad back means they are in the gun cart between stages. Do feel funny when I get to loading table without them, though. Old age is wonderful! I'll remember to look for that one CR. I wear mine full time. Since the weight is no issue for me, I fall into the group that says its just plain fun to do and looks that part ta boot. That being said, I've got a couple pair of cart holsters coming for just in case I take a notion to do so...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Murphy # 873 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I ware my shoot'n irons all the time when I'm at a shoot, their part of my costume. Good guy's and bad guy's ALWAYS go healed! (go's fer da lady's too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolakowski kid Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Well I would just wear them, but since i just started and I share them with my wife I can only wear them half the time. We trade them off at the un-loading table though so no sweeping anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
