I use the Alaskan Double D Chest holsters. They are custom made to fit your guns. I can wear them front chest or under arm. My guns do not flop when bending, even my heavy 44 mag revolver is in solid. I'm extremely pleased with them.

I know a guy who carries all the time, with his handy dandy semi auto either IWB or OWB at the three o'clock position during winter months. During the summer time he carries appendix style when the situation warrants.

He also wears an under shirt like this, with either a small semi auto or a small revolver as a back up gun.... or when he may only be able to carry under arm and cannot carry IWB or OWB in the normal fashion...

I use one for my single six water trapping or when it's pouring rain so I don't get my rifle all wet. Fashon changed, everyone wore sport coats or suits back in the day.

1) He expressed the comfort of leather over ballistic nylon (I'm sure more important when you're wearing it all day)
2) Balance was important, he likes to have speed loaders, mag light, multi-tool, magazine or something on the opposing side to balance the holster.
3) Safety was a huge factor on exposed hammers, he include a leather snap button that secured the hammer when carrying.

He also made a tactical holster for my Judge when I'm bear hunting, it sit's perfectly on top of my thigh in a tree stand. The Uncle Mike holsters are nice for a one size fits most but the companies that conform a holster to a blue gun are more costly than an Amazon purchase but well worth the price.



I use an Uncle Mike's Side Kick Vertical ... my 45 or 40 either one will work in it. Although mostly use it for my .40. It is comfortable to wear. My brother bought it for me and he said it was supposed to accommodate and extra mag. There is no pouch for it on the right side there is a contraption where a mag might be attached but I have not pursued looking into one. It fasten down comfortable and snuggly with no movement around.

I sent away and bought an ankle holster for a backup gun but the calf area of my leg in too short and it bangs on my angle bone. SO after wearing it for about 30 minutes took it off and stuck it some where. If anyone wants a leg holster with long lower legs let me know we might make a deal of some kind. I have short legs.

if you carry daily and you don't have a drawer or box full of holsters , you are the exception.

When I think I need to carry, I have my 454 Cassul in a shoulder holster tucked up under my left arm.
