Breakfast at Perkins: Revolver Down!

If you are serious about carrying, then you get a belt loop holster that will keep your weapon on your belt. Even a thumb break holster is a good idea. You never know when you might roll down a hill and then need to still have your weapon on your side well anchored there.
 
Some places (like Ohio), you don't always wear a belt holster, as you might have to take you jacket OFF, and open carry is reserved for those places where it is normal and not generally objectionable to the social atmosphere you might be in. I agree, a solid belt holster will secure your weapon better than an unsecured pocket holster, but life is a compromise, and you arm yourself according to your own needs and personal compromises. You don't tell others what their personal needs are. Well, maybe you do.:rolleyes:
 
Once, my Model 38 revolver fell out of it´s upside down shoulder holster while I was getting out of my car. I was going into my bank on mainstreet. The gun fell to the street but sustained no damage and no one saw it. the holster has since been tightened and has not had a problem since. I think it had something to do with my seatbelt.
 
Several people had come in the restaurant in between the time, but apparently, no one had seen it laying there (in broad daylight). (snip) No one even saw us retrieve the gun.

This reminds me of the question and answer given at a defensive pistol class.

"What kind of concealment holster and method do you think is best?"

"To be truthful, in some places like Wal-Mart you can get away with hanging the pistol on a string around your neck in plain sight."
