And When All Is Said And Done...

This is the rig I keep going back to when the weather is warm. You hear the detweilers bragging on how their 8-pound alligator/mammoth/cloned-dino-leather CONCEAL carry holsters are soooooo comfy they forget that they're wearing one, all the while watching them make adjustment after adjustment that would make a crotch-grabbing baseball player proud. But the few, the proud, the incredible dumbasses, wouldn't be caught dead with something so simple, and when you ask why they should care WHAT a concealed holster looks like, they respond with "Well, I know."

And there you have it. The same male-wannabes who grump and moan whenever a woman makes a fashion statement costing herself 5 or 6 times over what a generic item would go for, spend hundreds of dollars for uncomfortable, smelly old holsters just so they can visit the gunboards and post pictures of themselves wearing one.

I got the above, a used Pro-Tech IWB for the G-26 and 27's, on eBay over a year ago, for about $8 including shipping. Brand new they'll set you back maybe $11. Holds the weapon securely, draws well, and is flat out the most concealable holster one can buy at any price, unless we're talking tuckable, but I have several of those too and do use them whenever a dress shirt needs to be inside the trousers.

They make 'em for big guns, too, but as of yet I haven't come across one of their models designed for an X-Frame S&W .500, so if you hear tell of such a critter let me know.
