Anyone know where I can find a retention holster for a 4.75" barrel SAA .45 copy? Something beyond the little lanyard?

I can see these types of events picking up steam. So random they're impossible to predict.

Blacks have been getting away with it for many years because you can't hold the group responsible for the minority.

I've got a Bianchi with a full-flap closure that I used to use afield in crappy weather.  Not the fastest in the world, but it will sure keep the dust off your gun while it's parked in the house.

One thing I thought about with respect to cross-draw carry is it's harder for a gun grab from behind since the gun is backwards for the grabber.  In addition, it's easier to fend off a grab attempt from the front.  I've been challenged on this by the "Official Naysayers."  So,  just something to think about.

I think the Official Naysayer's problems with cross draw are that you flag half the world on the draw and that if your draw is interrupted by someone closing to bad breath range it's much harder to get the muzzle pointed at them and a shot from retention.

The gun grab thing is pretty far down the list.

Yes, and some people get the vapors over horizontal shoulder holsters because you're "flagging" everyone behind you while you walk -- as if the gun is going to spontaneously discharge if you cough.

When I was dealing with the FBI as a material witness, the agents I was working with (or, more properly, who were working me over) all wore small-of-back. And I think they still do, because I think that FBI agent who dropped his gun and shot somebody while showing off his dance moves was carrying SOB. Man, that's about a 270-degree swing to bring the muzzle on target.

I thought FBI carry was at 4 o’clock or so with a 15 degree cant forward for draw access

I have met some of the "gun might go off sitting in the holster" people and they are silly.  I do have to give the anti crossdraw vapors having folks so e credit, that an ND is much more likely on the draw than just sitting there.  People's fingers get on the bang switch early during a draw all the time.

This same tendency to "pre-prep" the trigger is a concern for appendix carry as well.

I'm getting the impression that "Day of Rage" is going to be a regular Friday thing for the time being.

Someone needs to make a I survived jihad Friday tee shirt.
Just did a search and didn't find any.
