Revolver vs. Pistol for CCW

[PWC]

For S.A. Boggs or anyone else in the 'hot' zone - I carried a .45 in shoulder holster for the AF for years and would prefer that today. Now retired and live in AZ. Most of the year you can wear your shirt out like a Hawaiian shirt, or now they have begun making button-ups with no tails. Yes, I know, it's a dry heat, but in 105 to 117 degree heat in the summer (Jun, Jul, Aug and 1/2 of Sept), how do you 'conceal carry' in your shoulder holster? I carry in a Uncle Mike's black nylon holster and have to be sure to oil outside of the firearm as sweat does get thru the holster.

You have the right idea as this is exactly how I have done this for years with the same rig. Mom modified with a little padding in the shoulder to lessen the weight impact. In cool weather I wear a western vest as well as my duster. @ my age, I can always pull a Fred Sanford!

Ruger SP101 with bobbed hammer rides on my hip every day.... that is, after I get home from my job at a school district where firearms are forbidden except for kids, parents and staff that may decide to go nuts.

School policies forbid me to carry a firearm, but cannot protect me from other who choose to carry in violation of the policy.

Either one of three J-frames or either M15 or RSS.
Next level is M39-2 , BHP, or Colt 1991A1, either in IWb or Bianchi X-15 / 2000

I carry a S&W Model 60 in my jeans pocket. I can put one in the center at 7 yds much quicker than I can with my Sig from a holster. And, there is no brass to police if you have to fire in a compromising situation. Regards, Clark

When I was carrying, my piece was a S&W Chief's Special loaded with 200 gr round noses. Loved that gun. Wish I still had it.
