What the heck is this thing?

[Sod]

It is not mine and I have no connection with the seller.

I believe the gun (and some spare ammo, too, apparently) is attached to this device meant to be slipped into a pocket. It disguises the outline of the gun and you fire the gun while it's still in this thing.

Looks pretty bulky to me.

Hi,
You attach your revolver into it and it holds a spare 5 rounds.
I think it's an interesting conversation piece but I don't think I would use one.

That has to be one of the funniest comments I've read on here in quite a while...and I couldn't agree more !!!

Let's see them make one for a S&W .460

Thanks,

And I could be wrong but I believe that actually using this to carry a revolver falls under NFA regulations for some reason. This means, big No-NO unless you are willing to get all the paperwork...

It's a pocket holster made by Pachmayr for j frames, my Dad has one that came with a humpback he bought years ago, I remember shooting it a time or two, not too bad but not anything really worth having. Here's a pic of both sides about half way down the page:

[Jim March]

It's still visibly a gun so no, this isn't an NFA item.

 

[tombogan03884]

E-bay no longer carries anything that makes a firearm work. No barrels no magazines, no internal parts. NONE

 

[fearless leader]

It's supposed to break up the print lines of the pistol in your pocket, keep it upright and carry extra ammo. It looks like it would be difficult to jerk out of your pocket. I use an Uncle Mikes pocket holster and put it behind my checkbook. I have never been spotted this way.
