..... holster

Love the look of this holster and will be buying one soon.
Wright Leather Works in Green Springs, Ohio anyone knows of them?
Their products look great and this SOB holster looks perfect what I was looking for. Made in Ohio

I tried an ankle holster and just did like it that much after a few weeks of wearing it. I'm sure some people are Ok with an ankle holsters, I just want a quicker retrieval to my weapon.

Sock with croc was the problem :)

The first issue was my Achilles tendon, I had tore it a few weeks after I got the ankle holster and it just hurt to wear. The other issue was it was just not easy to get to … an ankle holster is only good as a secondary weapon

I remember how Foxxy Brown could kick her leg up and the gun would flip outta the holster and she'd catch it and fire. I wanna see Belly do that!

I always wondered this about those things, and even other concealed carry holsters. I know several people who have been robbed at gunpoint, and every one of them the person came up behind them and had a gun on them before they even knew it. How does a concealed carry weapon help here? Make a quick reach for it and you are probably getting shot.

Know your area and don't put yourself in this situation by being in the wrong places to be a victim. Be aware of your surrounding.
Concealed weapon carrier are not heroes or supermen so get that out of your head... and live longer
Just because you’re a CCW carrier, the drawing of the weapon is the last resort, and only drawn to be used as deadly force in deadly situation. If you are not prepared, proficient and confident don’t carrier a weapon.
Additional self defense methods and training are important for a CCW individual to have. I have a friend that teaches Self Defense classes, I attend those as a refresher course. We are also learning Filipino Martial Arts because of the usage of knife training.
Know your enemy, evaluate the situation, sometimes it better to do nothing but be an observant victim.
CCW is not the Right to use deadly force it a Right as American to have a weapon for the safety and well being of our nation, and our Rights as a legal citizen of America.

Why wear a SOB holster? The draw from a SOB holster is only slightly shorter than going to your ankle. You have to reach all the way back, then move your arm all the way around to the front. No thanks. If you sit all day, they're very uncomfortable. Plus, forget about drawing quickly if you're wearing your seat belt. And your shirt can ride up without you knowing it. SOB holsters have more disadvantages than advantages.

I'll take my IWB that I wear on my hip with Kydex and horsehide any day over a SOB holster.

(BTW, that pic is using the same gun I carry. Sig C3 1911)
