[mr surveyor]

I want my 5 minutes and 20 seconds back

will you be able to afford ammo?

god bless.

Does it matter?
The right to self defense is so fundamental to the human existence that our founding fathers believed it was endowed by our creator. As long as he has enough money to put ammo into the gun, how is it a problem?
Sure, in an ideal world, he could burn a hundred rounds a month and practice, practice, practice.
But the world isn't ideal.

I don't have any old holsters that would fit that gun. A suggestion, go check out some local gun shops. Sometimes they have used and surplus holster bins where people drop off stuff they don't use anymore, or open box and returned holsters go. Another option can be the gun shows.
Make sure you wear a stiff belt. You can get a stiff leather belt for cheap at walmart. I prefer the 5.11 Trainer belts, they are nylon and won't break the bank even new. The nylon gives it flexibility around your waist, but there isn't any give when you draw a weapon.

That's a nice new holster austinrealtor.
Could that "Lefty" holster be used for a "Righty" for either crossdraw or Small-of-back carry?
(I don't have a S&W, but just wondering)

the leather is cut and preformed for left-side carry. It "could" be used righty in a pinch , but would probably make the draw more difficult.

and someone claimred it last night in PIF thread - just waiting for their address.

I paid $5 for it in the clearance aisle of local gun shop. It's a nice holster. Just won't fit my M&P or Glock like I hoped it might.

But this is good example of what Jamisjockey posted - OP should look for deal's on holsters in clearance bins at gun shops.

Im stuck using an Uncle Mike IWB holster untill Christmas (When I get to have my Kholster)
While its not the best, it certainly does the job....and at $10 it will get you on to something better when funds allow.

If duct tape is on your radar, try this. She's a shooter and a little birdy told me she may be on this forum.

You can use this old trick: Get a leather shoestring or boot string, about 18-24" long. 2. double it, loop it in tying the ends together. 3. Insert it inside of your belt, with both ends hanging down. Slip you S&W between the loops and insert it into your belt. Inexpensive but it works. better than dependiing ion friction of the belt alone to keep it secure; not enough for running, but better tha nothing. I am not good at drawing. I'm sure other can help with that. used it for years when using automatics, but wil not work with revolver. Old cowman's trick.

Does anyone have a picture or a detailed description of how this is done?
It's kinda like "how to weld using 2 car batteries.".......I don't know that I will ever use it, but it's kinda cool to know how to do it........

I'm very much against the shoestring holster. It does NOT cover the trigger and exposes the user to an increased risk of ND.

I had a hard time finding any sort of good directions to make one on the 'net.
I did find this, however

Thanks everyone for Ur suggestions I ask Santa for crossbread holster hopefully I get it

I have a well worn holster that isn’t nearly as pretty as it was when I first got it, is super tattered around the edges, and doesn’t function nearly as well as it should. You welcome to come get it, but you must also take wife which bears all the same qualities.

Pics please
