I can't imagine that belt would be very effective in any case - it looks like the act of walking would quickly work the gun loose and drop it.

Are you suggesting he blew his balls off? He must have left the safety off?

NOTE: The safest way to carry a gun...Is Unloaded. That is, don't keep one in the Chamber, and the safety ON.

Yup.  That's exactly what happened.   I'd assume he left the safety off, or tried to turn it off as he was drawing.  He was a brilliant bowler, but apparently not so well trained in firearms.  Not surprisingly he didn't talk about it as far as I know, but in a small town, things like that get out.  He was the subject of jokes for quite a long time.

It doesn't look like a good way to carry, but that's a mighty fine picture!!!

I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with.

Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day.

From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.

I've seen these for sale.  There isn't any debate about this. They're unsafe in multiple ways.

First, any holster that allows that much muzzle to stick out is hazardous because rubbing up against another object can cause the gun to be pushed out of the holster. And yes, that includes holsters like Yaqui slides.  Try to use on in an IDPA match or at a tactical class and see what the officials say.

It's impossible to reholster without sweeping your support hand.

The edge of the belt can press the mag release, disabling the pistol.

You can't get a proper grip for your drawstroke. To effectively draw from that position,  the handle of the pistol needs to be canted a good  20 degrees to the right.

It's very easy for clothing to get snagged in the pistol, both because the pistol sits so low and because the pistol is unprotected.  

Those things are a hazard.
