Carried for the first time today

Bruenor · 10-31-2009

Well, I finally used that pink paper in my wallet, and carried for the first time today. I was at the Noblesville breakfast event, and was packing my S&W .38 revolver. I only have a cheap $7 IWB holster for it that I picked up at the 1500. It worked, but I really need to get something better for it. After breakfast, my wife and I hit Dick's Sporting Goods off of exit 10. No problems carrying in there, in fact while I was shopping I forgot that I even had it on.

Next step: open carry.

It takes a bit of time, but pretty soon you'll feel naked without it. Congrats on exercising your 2A RKBA!

Like Redneckpastor said...for some of us it takes a while to carry with a round in the chamber, but with a .38 revolver, that is already taken care of.

Congrats. How long have you had your pink paper before carrying? That cheap holster is better than nothing. I tried carrying a snubby without a holster one time and it didn't take long before it did a Plaxico down my thigh. Luckily I was still in the house. Without holsters, semiautos stay on the waistband, revolvers don't, in my experience.

www.crossbreedholsters.com will fix that for you!

I have 2, one for a Kahr PM45 and the one for my Sig P220 arrived yesterday (and I ordered it on Tuesday!!! 4 days!!!). Most comfortable IWB around, IMO. Check them out, I think you'll like them on several levels.

You didn't specify which .38 you had, but if it's a snubbie you don't have to carry it at the waist. I generally carry my S&W 642 in a Galco Ankle Glove. Not the fastest draw around, but it's never been noticed, is super comfortable, and doesn't have any special dress requirements outside of pants and a sock.

Anyway, congrats on your first time.
