Ayoob: Not a Fudd Holster After All

With two guns it balances even better than with a speed loader pouch on the offside. And if my passenger is not a daily carry person, they at least know how to work a revolver so it is a force multiplier. A pair of three inch Model 65 Smith and Wesson .357 Magnums vanish under a blazer or windbreaker. And once again, either hand can access the weapon.

Great! Just what I needed, a reason to start buying duplicate guns!
 
For most of my career in the Secret Service, wore a shoulder holster. For first half of career, carried a Model 19 S&W 2&1/2” revolver in an upside down rig. Second half of career, wore an Sig Model 220 in a horizontal rig. Both very comfortable. Still carry a 220 in shoulder rig as retired guy, in summer, over t-shirt with open unbuttoned light weight linen shirt. As is mentioned by the author…..can’t be beat for access while seat-belted in a car.
 
I live on the Texas Gulf of America coast. Two of my favorite activities is night hunting for wild hogs and wading at night gigging flounder. I carry my Judge in a chest rig doing both. You never know what’s sneaking up on you in the dark. As with a shoulder rig, Having the Judge up close to where my hands are positioned most of the time only makes sense. Quicker draw time. Plus keeps it dryer. I worry more about gators than anything. I’ve stepped on one a few times.
 
Back problems (and old age) here, and mostly gave up belt holsters. Carry a Browning HP and 1911 in a Falco Roto Shoulder Holster (vertical carry). As mentioned in the article, it allows me to carry the gun and two extra magazines. One thing I do have to be aware of is that if I bend over to pick something dropped on the ground, you must be conscious of the possibility of the gun falling from the holster. The retention strap does not fully secure the gun. Summer weather pretty much limits the use of this holster, and really many other holsters when the weather gets to warm to wear a covering garment. Have considered a "pocket carry gun", but I'd need a bigger pocket.

If I am in the "boonies" I always employ the shoulder holster except when carrying my Ruger Super Blackhawk, but with that on a belt I use a set of suspenders rig to give it help. Most of the time though, I will use the shoulder holster for concealment as backup to my 12 gauge Benelli.
