But, I own a Mare's Leg. Ok, stop - don't go there - Im not talking about whether it's a practical gun or not. Lot's of opinions about the Mare's Leg in general. But this question pertains to open carry/concealed carry laws.
I understand that a Mare's Leg (Rossi Ranch Hand) is classified as a lever action hand gun. I believe it's the ATF who made that determination. Anyway, all the info I can find about Mare's Leg/Ranch Hand, says, it's a lever action pistol.
That being said - it makes it a difficult piece to conceal. Yeah yeah, down my pants leg, under my shirt, down my sleeve, etc etc. Trust me, I don't really intend to ever make it a concealed weapon. It's a PERFECT gun to sit in the gun rack, or in the seat in the truck as im cruising a 4000 acre ranch somewhere in the brush country, or hill country. Not on the roads. It's a good snake gun, cause i can load rat/snake/bird shot in it if I choose. I can also go shotgun slug, or just straight up .44 Mag. Cool little gun.
But back to either concealed or open carry. Ok, I established I doubt I'll ever try to conceal carry it. But, here we go with the question/debate. And Im assuming the answer is No, since it's classified at as pistol. I cant put a strap on it and wear it as an open carry, right? Or a should sheath, right? I have to treat it as a pistol. If it's a pistol, then it's open carry - has Texas passed the law yet about open carry for handguns, since my Mare's Leg is a handgun?
What do yall think fellers???
Galco Double Time. I don't see it made for the Nano though. I had one for a Glock 19 and it worked ok but I never open carry. I returned it for a Galco King Tuk which I liked a lot better for concealed carry.Nuts4hotwheels wrote:I bought a Beretta Nano over the weekend and now I am looking at holsters.

Here are a few belt holsters for the mare's leg. I was trying to locate another company that I ran across a couple of years ago. I think it was based in AZ, but I can't remember the name.Dannyboy wrote:Good question - i was thinking about that myself. Also, here's another one - maybe im in the wrong forum to ask.

Yes they do. I have a Barsony OWB that I bought on eBay for $26.99 shipped. My Nano is equipped with a Lasermax and fits very nice in the holster. My assumption is that you are interested in pocket carry since you know that a cover shirt will conceal it when belt carrying. When I front pocket carry I leave the thumb break unsnapped. I do use a Tye-wrap to secure the clip when I belt carry. Barsony also makes IWB holsters. These are very strong and light weight holsters made in the USA (Oregon).Nuts4hotwheels wrote:I bought a Beretta Nano over the weekend and now I am looking at holsters. Does anybody make a holster that can be worn IWB concealed and on a belt for open carry? I don't know if it exists but it would be good to use the same holster for two different purposes. I would mainly use it concealed but want the option.
