I'm sure he was. Doesn't make my point any less valid.I think rog was just having a little fun.
Nobody's questioning the validity of your point BC -- just trying to help your blood pressure go in the same direction as that big red thumbs down you brought to the thread...
No blood pressure issues here. I was just making the observation that the OP seemed to be of a mind to "stir it to make it stink" a bit (as my pap used to say), and also that he probably knew it - or at least should have.
As far as negative vibe (thumbs down) posts, it seems to me that there were a lot more negative and agitated comments that preceded mine, and that a lot of them were more directly aimed at the OP.
I think you're mis-reading me or mis-judging my intentions - or at least my frame of mind. I just don't get that worked up about such things. Life's too short.
Maybe I need to sprinkle in a few more smilies...

Agreed, especially on those smilies...No blood pressure issues here. I was just making the observation that the OP seemed to be of a mind to "stir it to make it stink" a bit (as my pap used to say), and also that he probably knew it - or at least should have.

Well OP, In my humble opinion, there's only one thing any "self respecting" holster owner in your shoes should do...sell them to us snobs for 50% of what you paid for them and teach us a lesson!
...with a 30 day trial period of course.

Well, sorry there mister. I was; as Hapworth noted, just trying to stay on the "fun" side of the posts. Which come to think of it, the very premise of the thread by the "anti-snob" was a bit funny. Not funny as humorous, but more of the other funny; the colloquial use of funny, as in odd.
I do have a question about that thumb though. From it's reddish hue, I fell certain I know where it has been kept, but what I am supposed to do with it ??
Is it kind of an "award" type of thing, or more in line with one of those "dings" I hear about ?
In keeping with the "fun" aspect of things, do all those CAPITALIZED words in your post regarding my comments,(2nd actually) indicate you were YELLING the words, or did your caps-lock button go on auto ?
The thumb thing was a total accident. I don't know how I did it - or how to un-do it. In fact, I didn't even figure out what Hapworth was referring to when he first mentioned it. I thought his thumbs down comment was in reference to the "downer" tone of what I posted - hence my comparing the tenor of my post to what had been posted by others.
The purpose of the capitalized words is to place emphasis or inflection on key words. As far as I know there are only a few ways to do that when typing - bold, italics, or caps. Caps is the easiest of the three. Though I expect you probably already had that figured out.
BUT, just to be clear...
IT IS ONLY YELLING IF YOU TYPE ENTIRE SENTENCES IN ALL CAPS - LIKE THIS...
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.
Do you dress to the right or left?
It does have a serious impact on your "swing through"......
of your "Wood..ward" ...... of course...........................
what did you think I meant?????
You are a noted Duck hunter around here!!!

Coming back? Did I go somewhere
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

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