I typically wear the above rig (over a T-shirt; harnesses and bare skin are a bad mix) under a very lightweight summer shirt provided that the heat and humidity index isn't too high.
---------
On the most unmercifully hot days of summer I will forego the aforementioned harness rig (and the requisite covering shirt needed to conceal it) and carry that same air-weight J-frame .38 inside my waistband, concealed by an untucked T-shirt.
--------
Whenever I am day tripping away from my local haunts I'll usually carry a second air-weight J-frame .38 in a pocket of the pants or shorts that I'm wearing.

Some very good choices for summer. I especially like the fact that you have identical Crimson Trace (?) grips on both guns, so they point identically. I like the cut of your jib, sir.
ReplyDeleteWhile there is nothing wrong with a snub-nosed revolver per se, in this day and age where the goblins now hunt in packs five rounds is not enough. Takes too long to reload. In areas where ground apes and parasites roam freely a high capacity semi auto with a couple of space mags is a better idea.
ReplyDeleteI was gonna ask you how you load your dump pouches (loose rounds or strips), but I think I see the tab of a Speed Strip sticking out of the upper pouch. But in my experience, since I reach for the pouch from underneath, I put the strip so the tab is at the bottom of the pouch, so I can grab it when I pop the pouch open. I'd be interested to find out if I'm mistaken, and how you do it (and if you've practiced with it).
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I enlarged the photos (sorry about the quality).
DeleteTruth be told, the primary purpose of the two fully loaded six-round speed strips is to balance the weight of the rig so I don't need to fiddle with an offside tie-down to my belt. The rig is strictly for grab and go convenience. I do practice with the reloads but in all honesty if the first five-rounds fired don't settle things then I better hope that I have a second revolver in my side pocket or inside my waistband.
The holster is a Ken Null SMZ cobbled onto a Galco Miami Classic harness (it has narrow straps). The ammo pouches are from Matt Del Fatti and are simply folded over the harness with the thickness of some extra harness buttons keeping them in place.
I would like to add that I have zero expertise on guns and holsters. I read, I buy, and I try. There is a boatload of handgun and holster experts on the web and I ain't pretending to be one of them.
Thanks for your input!
