Default Holster rotation

I use different holsters in the course of daily carry of a J frame.

The one that gets the most use is the Galco pocket.There are times I might be carrying two J frames and that was where the Glaco Ankle Glove came in. The Galco Pancake, the Safariland and the Bianchi all get use from time to time.

I recently ordered a left hand and a right hand Blackhawk Speed Classic. Have only tried them out together a few times but so far am very impressed with these holsters.

Lets see some other holsters.

Don't have any pictures but I carry everyday in the Blachawk Speed Classic at about 4:00 position. Great holster with a great price (about $20 online).

I try to keep my carry holsters down to two. A Kramer Horsehide belt scabbard and a DeSantis Nemeses pocket holster. This way I am very familiar with where the gun is, and how to draw it smoothly & rapidly. As far gun carrying is concerned, my motto has always been to keep it simple and standard and efficient - less confusion under stress.

I have three different carry guns, all revolvers, and all carried in the same spot on my hip and in the same basic holster type. I'm a firm believer in the KISS principle when I'm carrying, because I tend to revert to what I know when under stress...

I only hip or ankle...most times it's ankle with a Renegade....if I hip it, it's in a Del Fatti pancake or horsehide IWB clip-on...





Don't have a pic of mine. This is a stock photo from the website (left hand)
