THIS is a "belt holster" ....

It's a belt....holster.

:thumbs2:
That is kind of awkwardly amazing. It seems like it is missing something, but all of the parts of a slide holster are there. I think this wins.
You're right! It IS missing something....security. This is (in my worthless opinion) a retention accident looking for a place to happen.
Then there are many "retention accident" (s) looking to happen out there. There are quite a few holsters designed with no additional retention feature other than friction.

All of this does beg the question, how long before we see the first holster marketed as "Texas Legal Belt Holster. You define it; we refine it. Only the finest grain leathers used."

I guess I'm in the minority who isn't gnashing his teeth or wringing his hands over this subject.

Just put yer holster on yer belt, yer hog leg into yer holster and swallow one big ole Prozac and ye'll A-OK!

Would that mean you had to carry the purse on your shoulder for it to be legal?
I know what you're going for there, but I'm thinking that if the gun is in a purse it is not being openly carried and doesn't matter whether it's actually in a holster or not.

I'm glad Chuck has other methods of defense at his disposal than the hammer down on empty chamber, 1911.

Actually I read that it is a Beretta 92, not a 1911.
If you want to know for sure you could call or send an email asking him if that is really a pimped out Beretta 92 that he carried on Walker Texas Ranger. "rlol"

Chuck doesn't even have to aim or shoot. He just yells "bang" and they fall.

I believe Mr. Norris only has to think "bang". That is the way it is when one reaches his level of transcendence.
