[Rrash]

I'm not sure which one looks coolest.

BB of course.

Is that a Beretta 96?

I've got a Doc Holiday rig that I use while mounted. Guess I'll have to wear that out one time.

I wouldn't mind a shoulder holster but really think they need to be vertical not horizontal. In a holster or not, do you want the muzzle pointed at you or somebody else? I'm for carrying however you want but I will pedominetly carry concealed. I see me open carrying if I have to stop some where between work and home and take the pistol out of the concole and put on my belt as I can't carry at work. I will not try to put an IWB holster on in the car or parking lot. It will still be partially concealed as I might tuck my shirt in once a year.

I like my Galco Lite shoulder rig for the S&W 60. I wear it mainly when traveling (driving).
Soon I can leave the jacket on the seat.

Never have tried a shoulder holster due to the fear of gun exposure. Have heard it is more comfortable than iwb. When oc becomes law, I may try it. Any shoulder holster wearers agree.

Then how about this for a shoulder holster?

I encountered an LEO with a belt holster so canted forward as to be sweeping folks behind him.

I would probably like it more if I didn't have to wear a cover shirt over mine. That said it is really comfortable. More comfortable than keeping the full sized handgun and two magazines on my hips.

I've had the same concern. I'm not sure I would want to stand behind someone and have a muzzle aiming at me even though it is securely holstered. At the same time I have some holsters that keep the muzzle tilted back far enough that when I bend over slightly just about everyone is getting flagged (they don't know it though). I have no issue with the shoulder holster and a cover garment since no one knows what is facing them. I keep thinking about getting one of those WWII/Vietnam era leather rigs that keeps the gun near your chest or rib cage.

If I wanted to out derp certain trouble makers I could get a belt holster for a mares leg and carry mine, but no.

I think that photo is of a belt holster that's just carried on his shoulder.

But the only time I could think carrying a Mare's Leg would be if you're going to one of those "cowboy dress-up party" shoots. And I guess I should have turned on the [sarcasm] font on my earlier. But what do you expect from a chimp with a gun?
