The things you see...

[Rookie]

I was at my local fun shop the other day, and in walked a guy that forced me to do all I could to not laugh. He had a full size gun in an Uncle Mike's IWB holster, clipped to the outside of his pocket. If he would have bent over, the gun would have fallen out. He kept having to adjust it because the weight of the handle kept causing the holster to rotate. No, I didn't say anything since I figured you can't fix stupid.

The least you could've done is get a pic of the precariously situated holster in question.

I thought it's a requirement on INGO to laugh at stupidity, but that would be alot easier with pics!!!

I have seen a LOT of folks do that. Also see a lot of serpa style paddle holsters with the paddle between the belt and pants.

 

[PRasko]

I saw an idiot friend of mine do this with a 92 FS.

I called him over one day and literally threw a bianchi paddle with thumb break at him and told him to just say no to uncle mikes.

Hundreds of dollars on a gun.
Dozens of dollars for the thing that carries them.
Yup.

 

[DeadeyeChrista'sdad]

I don't spend tons of money on holsters, but there's a reason most of the better ones cost a little more. They're worth it.

Should there be a "the holster should cost at least 10% the value of the firearm" rule? Or something close to that?

You could make one pretty cheap.
And, $$$ is no guarantee of quality.

But it helps.

I prefer the old fashioned "the gun should stay in when the holster is upside down test. You can get that for not a whole lot of money. After that you pay for access, comfort, and style.

How can he buy a decent holster with no wallet?

No one can beat my brother in-law for stupidity. Yes that is a challenge I will put out there!

Just to set the stage, he rides a HD motorcycle with a AUTOMOBILE tire on the rear of the bike. He says it's OK and he will get 30K out of that tire. I won't ride with him.

Now for the guns! Going to the range near Dolly-Wood in TN. I see his 2 handguns on the counter and ask if the wanted to put them in my range bag. He said no and I didn't think much of it. We get to the, I have been to this gun range several times. I didn't need to sign in. Drop my DL off at the counter and wait for my brother in-law.

The guy ask him if he brought a gun or does he need one. My brother in-law proceeds to pull 2 .9mm out of his waist band, NO HOLSTERS, just shoved down the front of his pants. Next he lays both guns on the counter with BOTH barrels FACING the clerk. Why have holsters when it's good to be a Gangster? Now I will never shoot with him again.

The next day we went to a LARGE knife store and he proceeds to tell a clerk that the 600.00 knife he is holding is a !@#$. Now I will never go knife with him again.

There is always one guy that is the Elephant in the room. Yeah he is that guy every where we go. He lacks most social skills as well as safety skills in any he does.

You mean you save all your wit for INGO? You really missed an educatiomal opportunity in real life.

We we must be related because that sounds exactly like my son in law!

Every time I see someone carrying a 1911 and using a Serpa holster, I automatically know this person isn't that smart.
For one thing, he's carrying a 1911. The other thing, he's using a Serpa holster.

Come on people! You're smarter than that!

You didn't read the OP did you?

 

[findingZzero]

I use a quart size glad bag and some duct tape. I only have to replace it once a week. What could be more transparent (Caitlin Jenner excluded).

 

[hopper68]

How do you know your brother-in-law is not very smart?

He married your sister.


NOTE: My sisters do not like it when I tell this.
