Been looking for one of those
Search for the several LONG threads called 642 Club. That is what brought me to THR when I bought my first pocket revolver. Also, that thread introduced me to Robert Mika's pocket holsters, which I still recommend.
It works for me because I walk around often. I can have my gun in hand in my pocket walking though parking lots or anywhere I feel the need. I buy my pants accordingly. I usually have a second gun in or on my waist. On a day that may require a jacket or sweatshirt, I can move either gun to that pocket if I want. I don’t have a body that can wear tight clothes. I would look like 200lbs. Of xxxx in a 100lbs bag.
This. And I'd be even more concerned about un-cocking it. There really isn't much to hold on to.
I save the ball caps for the range or sometimes at my cigar club, since most of my ball cap collection came from gun companies from armorer classes, or cigar and adult beverage companies.
Wild!I thought this old bit of pocket-holster gear might interest a few of you. The old Pachmayr Tac Holster (which also served as the grip). I'd forgotten I owned it until it turned up when I was reorganizing some old stuff. I very briefly tried it many years ago, when I used to carry my 649 in the outside cargo pocket of a Hollofil II insulated vest (until it literally wore out and my wife refused to keep it alive with patches).
Installed on my old 649 for some pics, to show how it works:
I'll probably eventually end up throwing it away, unless I ever come across a collector of such memorabilia.
I'm gonna collector. Do you got a price on it though?
Dunno. I've seen them go for $20 on auction bids, but other bids were sealed. I even saw a group of 3 units, apparently in new packaging, sold as a lot sale, but the price wasn't listed since the sale was closed. They're probably still floating around out there. I can't even remember what I paid for it as a young cop. Probably less than $20, I'd think. If you're serious, use my [email protected] email and I'll think about it. The cost of Priority Mail nowadays is a bit expensive, but standard Parcel (or whatever it's called now) is still fairly reasonable.
Tried to start a Conversation with you ... if I did it right.
) As those pants are slowly being phased out, I make sure new ones replacing them with hold a J-frame. Having been a longtime DA revolver user/shooter, it's a very comfortable feeling to shoot one, and feels like putting on a well-worn hat or pair of gloves.
