I was there yesterday (Saturday), I walked the whole thing about 8 times, niece was in the parade, I took her, watched parade, took her home, I live walking distance to it. Carried my Glock 26 @ 3:00 and Taurus PT-709 crossdraw about 9:30-ish. Guyabarra shirt unbuttoned, on top of a Extra Tall J.C. Penney's XXXL Tee-shirt, jeans, Comp-Tac belt (with Velcro and Kydex reinforced).quickerNu wrote:AddyLO, I can't believe yours hasn't come in yet. I recently applied with the local PD and went through a very intense background check, was offered the job, but was given a promotion by my current employer, so I turned the PD down. I wonder if that has anything to do with it.
It was actually VERY comfortable back there. I also thought I would have to remove it, but I guess the way I sit in the seat leaves a nice space for it. Spent at least 2 hours in the car, it kinda felt like a pillow back there. I don't think I ever compared a 1911 to a pillow before.....
I went to the bluebonnet festival in Burnet today, wearing jeans, a t-shirt and a new JC Penny St. Johns Bay button down collared short sleeve in 2x Tall untucked. Wore the same holster setup, almost trouble free. I walked around the carnival for hours with the kiddos, almost forgot I had in on me. Even had a cop walking behind me for a while. I wondered if he saw, noticed or cared. My love handles seem to prohibit 3 or 9 o'clock carry IWB or OWB. Gym here I come again.
I am debating getting a left hand holster for small of back OWB. I think it would be easier to draw with the grip facing right, with less movement. Any drawbacks I'm not seeing?
Only trouble I had was at the restaurant later. The chairs had no support at small of back (like a hole), but across the top. When I stood, my pistol hooked and the chair came up with me! Luckily my back was to the wall, no one noticed.
Holster http://www.concealedtechnology.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Comp-Tac C.T.A.C. polymer clips)
8-10 ounce Herman Oaks leather(SMOOTH side against your gun) with 2-3 ounce horse hide (SMOOTH side against your body) laminated to the front piece
These are better quality than Crossbreed or Kholster IMHO, and smooth side on gun protects finish and prevents "crumbs of leather" while smoothe horsehide against skin avoids discomfort from horsehide sanding the skin. Plus, now that he uses Comp-Tac clips, you can get velcro clips from Comp-tac and they work with my Comp-tac belt with Kydex reinforcement and Velcro
(But when I'm kayaking on the lakes, I use his all kydex speed clip holsters instead of the Comfort Carry holsters.)
