Wry, you shouldn't go to work for the Florida tourism department.

Hi voere;

My brother-in-law is as bad a gun nut as I am and has a collection that may even be larger. I'm more into the tried and true classic, traditional handgun designs hence few modern "plastic" guns are kept on hand. B-I-L is catholic in his tastes and has one of everything. Despite "trying and buying" most of the handgun models brought onto the market over the past 25 years, he persists in carrying a Kahr just like yours. It does shoot very well and he can really wring it out accuracy-wise.

I need a good holster for a CZ 75 BD I've been playing with for a couple of years now. Something like yours, carrying the gun high and with a nice forward cant.

I generally like an OWB (outside waist band) holster of leather construction which will effectively tote a 4-inch K-Frame Smith & Wesson or else the full-sized Colt Government Model .45 automatic. Even though now legal in Texas I don't participate in any sort of public open carry, choosing to carefully and fully conceal the side arm always. For me OWB carry means a covering garment is required. Coming from a career banking environment, this was no problem that a suit coat or blazer couldn't handle. Just a shirt tail for covering a side arm leaves me feeling unsatisfied. I can get by toting a 2-inch revolver or a compact automatic beneath an untucked shirt tail but don't often choose that method of carrying. This Triple K holster does a good job of properly concealing a favored Colt Detective Special beneath an untucked shirt. More often than not though, the "Dick Special" goes into an IWB (inside waist band) holster or else into a pocket holster in the right front trousers pocket.



I most often carry some rendition of this arrangement, being a full-sized handgun in some sort of leather holster that carries the gun fairly high and with a forward cant. Posted the following on a couple of firearms forums on which I participate. Discussion topic was gun belts and I was featuring my favorite belt. I'll just paste the comments here.

Took photographs this weekend and this morning of the favorite belt here. It's a custom belt crafted for me by Robert Dorris out of Southaven Mississippi. 1 1/2 inch wide it is and well capable of properly supporting the side arm, no matter how heavy the gun is. I'm "livin' the dream" and really do prefer the heavier all-steel handguns designs from bygone times for "serious social purposes." Belts like this allow a person to properly tote anything he desires in perfect comfort. Belt and holster matters when it comes to carrying firearms of "pleasingly substantial" proportions, the kinds of handguns one would really want to gun fight with if "push comes to shove." This belt has been in use since 2014 and is perfect for automatics such as full-sized steel-framed 1911 guns or medium to large revolvers.

I have a black and a brown gun belt, both no-name models of indeterminate age and now-forgotten origins. Fashion still dictates that I occasionally wear the black one when the wardrobe choice is black shoes, the brown one seeing occasional duty afield on hikes, but both are comparatively saggy-baggy, especially the brown one. Saggy-baggy doesn't do well at keeping the gun properly oriented at the waist. Saggy-baggy renders long hours of toting a bit of a misery.



Did gun show security this past weekend and toted a 1953-54 vintage Smith & Wesson. A really "big iron," it was one of the large N-Frame revolver models, a 44 oz. .357 Magnum with the 3 1/2-inch barrel, the old FBI configuration of an era since long past. The revolver was later known as the Model 27. Holster is 50-60 years old as well, a custom O. F Ball model. Both are still serviceable and provide perfect satisfaction. Photo taken 4:49 AM Sunday morning in between reading and watching DVDs. Oh and drinking coffee and yawning, lots of yawning. I really like this revolver and holster combination!

Here's the belt this morning with the holster and the revolver, still smudged from weekend toting use. The cylinder alone on this revolver weighs more than some of the Smith & Wesson Airweight J-Frame .38 Special revolvers. Using a quality belt seems to somehow "spread the load" in the wearing of it. Back to back 18-hour stints of toting the revolver as well as cinching up cargo pants full of back-up pocket-holstered all-steel Smith & Wesson J-Frame, reloads for both revolvers, as well as cell phone, pocket knife, pocketed flashlight, wallet, and comb finds the belt to always ride properly and remain comfortable for the duration.







The ammunition selected is Remington 158 grain .357 Magnum. This holster with its cant presents the revolver very quickly and this revolver settles on target effortlessly and shoots heavy .357 Magnum loads with laser-like accuracy (well ... at least to my best abilities). I like to say that shooting the big revolver double-action with heavy .357 Magnum loads is like "driving a Cadillac with power steering."

Just possessing a silencer and those bullets (Black Talon possibly?) would land your ass in jail here in the US.

The whole "silencer" thing must come from the movies, where even the fastest, largest, most noisy round is reduced to making just a tiny <pew> <pew> noise. Meanwhile, in reality...
