I see rave reviews on holsters with the single point loop attachment which provides a pivot feature. I have one and just cannot figure how to keep it in place. Anyone have some sage advice before I toss it into the drawer?
I had been trying to carry it forward almost 2 o'clock with a cant. It is comfortable in the forward position, but won't stay there. Always ends up rotating to point to the family jewels.
You have to try and see. The same holster will not work the same for 2 people. It's an extremely rare and fortunate thing to find the right holster first time trying. It's not unusual to go through five or ten of them before finding the right one.Actually, I meant regarding the thumb break. With so much clothing on top I don't know whether the revolver will work its way out without a thumb break.
Really? I've never seen an actual Bruce Nelson SS, but the Milt Sparks website states "The Summer Special comes standard with two belt loops, except for small revolvers and some small autos which come with one loop."The original Summer Special (SS), designed by Bruce Nelson (and copied by everyone), was designed to shift...for comfort. That is why there is a single loop and it is positioned at the rear of the holster. Milt Sparks produced the SS for Nelson at his request.

Designed by the late Bruce Nelson, the Summer Special has become the classic IWB holster by which all others are judged. With permission, Milt began producing the Summer Special, helping to meet the demand Bruce was unable to fulfill due to his then involvement in law enforcement. Milt initially improved on the design by adding sight rails, and then again later with the addition of a second belt loop
He was a working undercover narcotics officer...sometimes you have to weigh the benefits of various carry methodsRegarding the previous post:
Yeah, and be sure that thing is always pointing at your femoral artery or knee or something else unimportant.
