To further hijack this thread, in Dec. 1970, when I was issued the 4' model 14-2, my issue holster was the full flap type that completely covered the stocks. As you can imagine, it was nearly impossible to get to the gun when seated in the passenger's seat and hard enough to get to when standing up.

The second thing I did when I graduated was to replace that holster. The first thing was to buy a 2" model 10 for a bug. I did keep that flap holster and carried it on rainy nights.

I had a terrible time trying to find a comfortable way to carry the M-10. After giving up on the back pocket and ancle holsters I settled on inside the wasteband, cross draw, where it was quite well hid by the Sam Browne belt. It was easy for me to get to and difficult for anyone else to get a hand on. I later found a jacket with a gun pocket inside at the left breast (equivilent of a shoulder holster). This proved to be great for cold weather until the jacket wore out, about 15 years later.
