My mode of carry makes me a dork??? That's very mature of you. (SGT Jensen smells a troll.)Dork visits mall. Geeks at the cheap sword shop impressed.

Also, according to the smart carry thread, the troll is also sexist.He/she/it loves our last resident troll and if you check out its posts on shoulder holsters you will see it has a foul mouth and a small mind and is not worth our interest.
Why, because I was in a mall???It was meant lightheartedly. Ya gotta admit, it's rather mall ninja-esque.
Just flip the duster behind the pistol (dramatically) and cue The Good, The Bad and The Ugly whistle ... the BG will run for sureI'm actually running into a bit of a conundrum. I have a brown oiled cotton duster I wear in winter but unless I strap a rig to the outside of the coat, leave it open, or wear it inside... I'm not sure what to do. Obviously if I thought I really needed the pistol for a specific a reason, I'd simply strap it on over and be damned with how odd it looks. Same issue with CC. How do you quickly draw from the hip or from a shoulder position while wearing a long coat? As has been pointed out repeatedly, sometimes seconds really count. I either have to lift the coat up pretty far or pull it away from the bottom front. I'm thinking the option in the end might be a shoulder rig and just get really good at rippin the buttons open (double button type of coat) to gain access to the pistol. :? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. - Schofield
I was thinking the same type of thing, but have a nylon zipper sown in. This will stop the unravel part, and give you protection from the cold should you choose not to OC. Kind of like the security guard jackets that have a zipper on each side with a snap at the bottom to hold the jacket around the holster.If you mean a crossdraw holster for my hip... Same issue with strapping it on outside or inside the coat. I don't carry a Schofield around if anyone's wondering. Yet anyway. M1911 works fine for putting big holes in things.
Though I'm no cowboy, I was actually thinking of what Blondie did in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly that a lot of jackets do: An interim solution will be to cut a verticle slit a the entrance to one of the outside side pockets and bind the edges of the cut so nothing unravels and invisible to others. Do it right and it'll give me access to the pistol on my hip and my pants pockets otherwise inaccesible while buttoned up. Not perfect obviously unless I'm carrying a revolver that can be easily be drawn through a slit or fired inside the coat if absolutely necessary but nothing's perfect. - Schofield
