It is called a cell pal and is supposedly a nearly universal holster. Aside from the guy not acting completely safe any opinions?

Cell Pal and Pager Pal have been talked about a lot on this forum in the past.
Here's a thread on it viewtopic.php?f=23&t=36547&hilit=cell+pal" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

More should show up in a search search.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If you are interested in buying one, I bet several people here would dig theirs out of the "I'll never wear this" drawer/box and sell it to you, or maybe give it to you and mail it if you pay postage.

(I almost bought a Pager Pal in the 1980s, but didn't. Instead I got a system which works well)

Thanks for that info. I am glad to have a honest look at it :)

Spluloacle... looks like a reverse paddle holster, just IWB. So, not sure that's what you'd really want. Probably wouldn't last very long as well and wasted money unless you're going to always carry IWB. But, many have a box full of those. All part of the learning process. I just started and my box already has two in it. :lol: What can you do, JUST SAYIN' That's my .02

Several of us that have been around for a WHILE have tried one & I have seen the demo at several gun shows.

The things were made to sell. After that they stay in the keep sake drawer.

Yea the guy in the video was too salesman like so I needed to hear from the experts :lol: I don't plan on ALWAYS carrying IWB but definitely will some of the time. I also have to get a thigh and ankle to try out as well. Since I am a girl and sometimes the clothes don't allow for concealed carry. At least I am not always wearing skin tight stuff cause well after having five kids that won't happen. :lol:

I have several ankle holsters, one is wide and good, the others, not so much.
Problem with a couple not-so-good ones is being able to hold the weight without slipping down.

Same with various brands of Belly Bands, some are good, others, not so much.
My suitcase has several ankle holsters and belly bands I bought years ago, some actually work.

I carry IWB daily though.
IWB I use holsters similar to:

Desantis Tuck This 2 (Nylon with a J-hook that goes UNDER a belt, and attached spare magazine pouch)
Comfort Carry by Rob Durham (Thick/sweat proof, uses CompTac clips)
Rip Cord by Rob Durham (all kydex, uses CompTac clips)
Kholster
CompTac Minotaur
Crossbreed Supertuck
Tucker Gunleather "The Answer" or "Silent Thunder"

In the days before tucking holsters, the pager pal and thunderwear served a purpose for people carrying in a professional environment without a jacket. Now, I think a tucking holster is a better option for most people in that environment.

from all the reviews I've read, I think there might be someone out there who would pay YOU money to take it off their hands :smilelol5:
