Most dangerous way to carry a gun!

[dikman]

Is holster the right word to use? Certainly be cheap to make, no wet moulding, no stitching, minimal amount of leather required.....

I will say I would prefer the angle reversed, as well as the firearm itself for me. But that's me. Reaching behind my back isn't easy with my back problems, and painful.

I prefer the underarm cross draw.

All in all, it's just common sense.

I think the set up is basically stick the gun any which way you want.lol

Bravo mattsbagger for the lively debate ! If you had of said the dumbest way to carry a gun, we wouldnt have anything to talk about.

Would I also be wrong in guessing that this was a post from something like Etsy or Pinterest, . . . and that the poster was most likely a young female?

It has all the look and feel of something you would see on there, . . . not a serious attempt as a "holster".

May God bless,

Does this even qualify being called a holster?

Its just a belt with an extra layer piece riveted on

Webster Dictionary;  Definition of a holster

1. :  a leather or fabric case for carrying a firearm on the person (as on the hip or chest), on a saddle, or in a vehicle; broadly :  a case for carrying a usually small item on the person a knife holster a heart monitor carried in a hip holster

The belt is made of leather, and it is being used to carry a firearm on their person. What is the confusion ? It fits Webster's definition. Maybe try Funk and Wagnel?

[fredk]

I think you try to belittle me

The word in the definition is CASE.

In the UK that belt would not pass selling legislation as being described as a 'holster'

[CaptQuirk]

@fredk-Not at all. It may not be traditional, but it is doing what a holster does.

[CaptQuirk]

@fredk- Also from Webster-

Definition of case

1. 1a :  a box or receptacle for holding something
