| Anyone have one of these holsters? Thoughts? Seems like it would be fairly practical and low key. |

I have one, and it works pretty good as a way of hiding a handgun on the way to the car, if holster carry is out of the question and as a good travel holster. The top flap tucks nicely between the mattress and box springs and holds the gun in a nice position for late night drawing. I use it in such a capacity whether sleeping at a hotel or at home. It's also less likely to be found there than in the drawer of a nightstand. I have added a shoulder strap, and it's a good way to grab the gun quickly when the dog is whining at the front door. The outside pocket holds an ID and CCW card as well as a checkbook or anything else thin you might wan't to put in there. I live in a college town, and wearing something like that doesn't stand out too much given the local fashions. YMMV. The only time I use it for general carry (without a leash in my hand) is if I'm wearing something not conducive to holster carry. If I'm in a hurry to run to the store and don't change out of scrubs when I get home, it works pretty good. Also works well if wearing gym shorts. And it occasionally gets thrown over the shoulder if I'm going for a bike ride. I've never attached it to a belt, or a seatbelt. I don't think it really works for belt carry. Overall appearance is similar to a CD case. |
