Sick and tired of the elitist snobbery

I don't have a box of holsters laying around, but I have very
neatly stowed two sweeping compound drums full of them. I never pass up a quality holster at show or yard sale that is
way under priced. I couldn't give a hoot what some "expert"
likes. A couple weeks ago I bought a Lawrence holster for a
Broom Handle Mauser. Never know when one will turn up. I
am eletist, I don't do plastic or nylon. I'm 6'x 160lb x 32" waist
and I carry pancake cross draw, even with N frames. Only
thing that bothers me is flimsy holsters that want to turn
over and twist belt.

I hope you get that Broom Handle.
And we will need a picture.
Never saw one in a cross draw holster before!
 
I try to read as much as I can around here and can appreciateopinions on hand tooled leather and such. This has been my carry rig since 1994 (well, I did replace the holster once or twice when the safety lever ate through), works perfectly for my needs and is right comfortable here in the swamp (90 degrees out today). I'll keep on until I find a better rig. Joe

 
Well thanks for coming back BC38. Funny, but I didn't notice the "thumb" either, at first.
My efforts to "ruffle your aplomb" a bit did not seem to have much effect; so your blood pressure was likely not as high as I, (and Hapworth) feared.
I am remiss in not using the little emotions faces, or what ever they are called, myself.
Certainly we could all do with a few more smiling faces around.

And yeah,....as slow-witted as I am, I usually pick up on that capital letter inference. (seems like I get more of that, than I once did. )
 
Strange this same topic came up over brandy in the Club's Library last evening........most came down against IWB carry because it hides to much of the hand tooling......... but the topic soon changed to which engraved O/U for grouse in the Scottish Highlands..........next weekend.

Must run the Limo is waiting...... and I need to check on the Chinese overnight markets.........................

I use a Remora Clip holster IWB for my EDC. It's cheap, it works for me and I ware it all day and am not the least bit uncomfortable. Often, I forget that it is on.
I'm sure that I am not alone in my choice.
I too have a drawer full of other holsters.
Just ware what works for you.
 
Bam-Bam: "Which over/under"? I say old boy, there is no question as to which, the question is which Purdey?

Remember what we recite at Club (Brooke's of course) "Purdey for grouse, Boss for pheasant, Woodward for duck, Rigby for lion, Westley Richards for elephant." It's as familiar as "Twinkle, Twinkle"
 
Pawwwdun me whilst I button up my pantses. As far as boxers vs briefs, I believe Chester and the twins deserve the freedom that comes with wearing shorts to work this date as the Courts are closed so I shall abstain from either . Now I'm off to the tailor as my bespoke Columbia fishing shirt in marsh grass pattern is ready for final fitting.

Yeah I can usually spot such efforts and I don't generally get too ruffled. You have to be actually TRYING to insult me to get me going. Blatant disrespect is one thing will cause me to lose my cool. Otherwise, I stay pretty chill.

No implication that you are slow - in fact quite the opposite. An acknowledgement that that I believed you understood more than what you were letting on :D

Some of the dilemmas you fellows find yourselves in, truly make me guffaw with mirth. Which drawers to wear;...which is the best holster;... indeed !?
Let me relate some real-world problems I just encountered.

So, I instruct James to bring around the "S" class Benz, (after quite a bit of dreadful agonizing on my part); over using it, or my 1962 Ferrari 250 GT to get to the "Basin".

My intentions to take 30 or so close friends on a little sea jaunt on my newly acquired little boat, you fellows may know of her, named: The Rising Sun. (Feel free to goggle her if you wish, but please don't zoom too close to the fore castle, as the ivory inlaid mahogany is not yet finished.)

So now to this awful predicament I find myself in. And, I don't want to come across as self-absorbed, for surely most of you have encountered life's little set-backs like this too; though I hardly doubt to the extent to which I find myself.

You see, James, after a solemn promise there would be no rain, was allowed to open the sun roof on my "S". I am sure most all can now see the horror I had to endure.....YES !!! the incompetent allowed us to go into a rain shower, my ascot no doubt has several drops of wetness, and oh dear but I do so hate a soggy ascot.

Hold on, this is only the surface of my distress. My captains cap is now ruined,at least six drops of rain, and no less for my yachting blazer which is a mess; and I know all of you will feel the pain with me, for I can not, just can NOT board my ship in this condition. So the trip for today is off.

I will now have to retire to my summer home and have Emmanuella give me another deep-muscle message just to try to lift my spirits a bit. I hardly ever require three in one day; but today's ordeal has just set me back.

I know all you will know just where I'm coming from in that regard ! Life is just not fair sometimes.

I did not know I was so snottish..........

Jest cause I sport a hand-tooled rig, with silversmith'd gold and silver buckles.
Btw, I do have the matching cuff links to boot.

And carry a custom S&W RM....Chambered in the all time great 44 Special.



And all this time, I thought I was jest a hay-seed cowboy. Who Knew? :D

What are cuff links anyway? Are they like spur conchos? Ha
