Contributing Member fredk Posted July 19, 2023 Author Contributing Member Report Posted July 19, 2023 No. As I said, this was owned by a member of the Royal Ulster Constabulary - a cop. Looking up the Ruger I see they did a .357 Magnum. I think the plod would have had one of those. Most plods I knew chose to use Magnums as PPW. They were influenced by Clint Eastwood's 'Dirty Harry'. At that time the RUC standard issue was an old Webley 38. According to my friends, it had the stopping power of a marshmallow Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Klara Posted July 20, 2023 Members Report Posted July 20, 2023 In Germany and France we are allowed to have and wear as many holsters as we like, as long as we only use them to carry a banana (like the Costa Rican police at one time) - or similarly inoffensive items. Quote

Contributing Member fredk Posted July 23, 2023 Author Contributing Member Report Posted July 23, 2023 @Sheilajeanne @Handstitched - there was a video circulating on youtube a while back showing a female police rider with a ponytail riding along and both her and the horse's tail swung in unison, like two metronomes. afair the rider was from Norway, maybe this same rider I've started to make a scabbard for a trowel. Its still at the early stages. Before I go any further I have to decide if I should, or want to, put on retention straps over the back edge. This trowel will just be laying inside a tool box until needed. Opinions on straps? yes, no? The trowel sits on the base of the scabbard with welt pieces fitted and the top part lies in front, yet to be shaped Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Klara Posted July 24, 2023 Members Report Posted July 24, 2023 If you will either move the whoole box from time to time or dig through it to find a certain tool, a retention strap makes sense. If there's no movement ever, you can probably do without. My two cents... Quote

If it only gets used occasionally, then yes, put straps on . My 2 cents worth + tax HS Quote ' I have a very gweat friend in Wome called Biggus Dickus, He has a wife you know, do you know whats she's called? Incontinentia.......Incontinentia Buttocks '
