New Great Idea or Old Bad One

[Casca]

I have been carrying for a few years now, IWB , ankle or even shoulder holster. It all depends on the weather,dress code etc. Now that I have stoped growing taller and started getting wider, I have been using suspenders. One problem I have with shoulder holsters is that sometime the suspenders rubs or just plain gets in the way. So my idea is to have a set of suspenders with a clip on or a built in holster. Yes, I want My share of the profits if one of you guys make it happen. So let me know , is this a good idea or just a waste of web space.

They used to have derringer holsters like that

You can still get them from the "cowboy action" suppliers

I think it's an excellent idea.

attached to a pair of suspenders?? hmmm sounds ok to me...With most suspenders you couldnt use a "heavy" weapon but a light bug would prolly work...

Since I got a bit wider myself I have switched to pocket and belt carry...

make your own

Maybe putting the holster on the inside of the suspender would make it more concealable

JOAB,
that top holster is what I had in mind...Didnt think of leather suspenders...The glue must be getting to me


Looks sweet BTW...

here's the link I forgot to post
They sell them for about $75. I would buy one for a 2' J-frame. But they would have to be convertable for either clip or button on. I saw an adapter for that somewhere

ahh yea the link is a bit better now

took a gander at there holsters...nice looking rigs

I really liked the "concho" thingy...Last year I made a customer one of those out of 'roo skin for a naa mini..

I have GOT to get me some of that "cowboy action" money...

I was thinking of having the holster between the front and back suspenders, under the elbow. It could be attached from four points. The handgun would have to be a compact or small frame, but bigger than 3AT.

Since a front pocket holster to me is the perfect place for a small handgun such as a keltek 3AT or 32.

pocket holster for p3at?? and ya live in ak??? Well since I NEVER promote my own stuff, I would suggest you goto Wild West Guns and pick up one of the HAND MADE leather pocket holsters that they stock <~~couldnt resist


If the suspenders ride toward the middle of the tummy, then you can still get away with a shoulder holster...

On a good set of suspenders you can prolly get away with a heavier weapon than a p3at...a Micro Kahr would prolly work...
