BTW, I did use a piece of leather tied in a slip knot over the revolver hammer while in the holster to keep in the holster. Today I think they call that RETENTION, which is a good idea for holstered carry.K5GU wrote:Well, I can remember back when hiding your gun (aka concealed carry, CHL, etc.) was not considered to be 'normal', and when people who knew you and found out you were 'hiding a gun' and it was legal exclaimed, "What?! You're carrying a GUN! Oh my God"! Now, today, hiding your handgun (aka CHL) is somewhat normalized, and Not hiding your gun could be normalized in Texas soon. Hopefully.
It was nice, growing up in Oklahoma years ago, when we carried handguns in a belt holster, could -legally- walk to the truck, go down to the hardware store or gas station, get back in the truck and go home, and not have to worry about how to take care of that coyote or rattlesnake in the road or driveway. It's a matter of what you and others around you get accustomed to seeing people do.
Some of you other ole timers probably can related to this, eh?
