What about my 6" 686?

Funny,jkc; and wish I had a need this time of year for a sun hat hook.

Flop, duty carried a 686 for a time and couldn't wait to toss that big boy in the locker after a shift. But, if it works for you, good for you!

Be safe!

Check the "Sen. Larry Craig" thread in the LOUNGE section of the forum to read what happened to one guy.

One option would be to wear a belly band, and put the gun there while on the toilet. After you finish dressing, simply move it from the belly band back to your normal holster. The gun won't mind the temporary quarters, and it beats hangin' out in the hammock! Besides, what would you do if you happened to "go commando" some day?!

1) If the CCW is sufficiently small, remove it from your waistband (holstered or not) and place it in your pants pocket. If it's too big for your pants pocket, put it in your cargo pocket.

2) Use a shoulder holster.

3) Use an ankle holster

4) Hang it around your neck on a lanyard.

5) Have your gunbearer accompany you to the RR.

I've told this a time or two here but there was a time that i dropped my gun in a stall and it slid under into the other,(!) i reached under and grabbed it back and said "Pardon" to the feet in the stall next to me. he never said a word but i doubt that he didn't notice, a stainless automatic makes a real racket bouncing around on ceramic tile. anyhow i have since taken to wearing thumbreak pancake holsters. if they don't suit you there are IWB versions that have loops that snap onto a belt. with such a setup one can lower the trousers and belt to just below the knee then open the legs a bit and the gun will be held tight,right alongside your knee by leg tension. this is above the line of sight in any stall i've been in. this method has the added benefit of being readilly accessible in the event you need to shoot the dumb bastard in the next stall that keeps dropping his gun.

Ahhh Rich S, such humor from NY! You should write for SNL!

I walk in, sit down, let the pistol hit the floor with a resounding thud. Then I announce that I'm going to make the room unbearable to occupy within a few minutes. Within thirty seconds, the restroom is empty and I'm at peace with myself.
It really makes a difference if there's two distinct thuds and some clattering of metal on tile... the room empties much faster and there's no chatter amoung the departing "guests".

If I was selling it Charlie, they couldn't afford it.
I actually want my brother to go into stand up, he is an intensely funny person in the John Belushi style. I'm kind of hoping for the Jim Belushi role myself. my brother has thus far been reluctant. go figure.
Regards,
Rich

Hey Rich S:

If you guys ever get into show business, and need a blood-sucking manager, let me know, I'd like to apply for the job!

I carry OWB- there's way too much of me already inside my pants to carry IWB!!! As I lower my drawers, I push the holster as far to the back as I can, then flip the gun over so the grip is inside the pants, and most of the gun is hidden inside of the pants. If anything still might be visible, I pull the elastic of my briefs over it. (If someone wants to look any closer than that, then I probably want them to see that I'm packin', so they don't climb in and join me!!!)

Don't use a Public restroom......hold it 'till you get home!!!! Bob

So I read the "My Sen. Larry Craig" thread and I think GC here has the best recommended solution with the belly band advice between both threads.

With an IWB holster; I undo my belt, keep my hand on the gun as i lower my pants, buckle the belt up and then keep my feet apart to keep the holster tight against my ankle.

Sorry if that was too graphic, but it keeps the gun in control at all times.

BTW dont hang any valuables from the coat hook, thieves love to grab and dash in restrooms.

This is the one time.....when an ankle holster would come in handy!!!!! Bob
