GP100 carry question

TATER

BEFORE I FINISHED BUILDING MY 45ACP COMPACT I CARRIED A RUGER SECURITY SIX, 357. I USED A KIRKPATRICK CROSS DRAW HOLSTER. WHY CROSSDRAW? BECAUSE FOR ME IT SEEMED FASTER AND I WAS MORE COMFORTABLE WITH IT. FASTER THAN A SHOULDER RIG, AND BESIDES THAT I DIDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE STRAPS. I'M ON THE THIN SIDE, 5'10" AND 150#. IF I CARRIED A STANDARD PISTOL CONCEALED I LOOKED LIKE A PYTHON THAT JUST SWALLOWED A PIGLET.

HERE IN NORTH DAKOTA IT IS IMPERATIVE TO WEAR THICK COATS DURING WINTER TIME. KIND OF HARD TO DRAW EXPEDITIOUSLY WHEN YOU HAVE TO DIG UNDER A COUPLE OF LAYERS OF CLOTHES TO FIND YOUR PIECE. WITH CROSSDRAW YOU SIMPLY REACH DOWN WITH LEFT HAND AND GRAB THE LAYERS OF CLOTHES, LIFT UP AND THERE IS OLD LUCKY JUST WAITING TO BE CARESSED. ALSO SAVED A LOT OF SPORT JACKETS WHEN I WAS ON DUTY. PISTOLS HAVE LOTS OF EDGES TO GET CAUGHT ON THINGS.

I SEE BY YOUR PROFILE YOUR AIR FORCE. GOOD MAN. I WAS A AFSC 462, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY HAVE SPECIALTY CODES ANYMORE. I WAS IN MUNITIONS. WHAT DO YOU DO?

WELL THATS MY THOUGHTS ON PISTOLS AND PREFERENCES. THEY WORKED FOR ME.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO CARRY, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTISE. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE HAVE ONE POSITION AND STICK WITH IT.

GOOD LUCK PARDNER. CYA.
