Comp-Tac’s C-Tac “Shirt Tucker”<br />
offers multiple heights and<br />
angles, concealability<br />
and speed.<br />
Behind the wheel, the Bond Arms Ranger holster rides comfy<br />
and compact, though you’ll need a Bond Arms Ranger derringer<br />
to go in it. Not many problems can pop up at your window that<br />
two rounds of .45 Colt or .410 buckshot won’t fix.<br />

Filling Your Hand From<br />
A Few Different Angles John<br />

If you haven’t heard enough of these stories, I’ll let you<br />
borrow some of mine, like the retired deputy working private<br />
investigations, his pistol snug in a high-ride hip holster<br />
as he sat behind the wheel of his car doing surveillance on<br />
a cheating husband. Surprised in that position, he died reaching<br />
for his inaccessible gun — and not quite making it. Other stories<br />
involve carjackings of victims who possessed handguns<br />
— they just didn’t have ‘em where they could speedily get<br />
them into play. There was the detective whose backup gun — a<br />
small revolver in his pants pocket — suddenly burst through<br />
weak stitching, fell down his leg to the floor and became Harry<br />
Hairball’s primary weapon; the robbery victim who was shot<br />
simply because his pocket rocket “printed” through the material<br />
at the wrong moment and the stickup man panicked.<br />
There are dozens more, some funny, many sad and some<br />
truly tragic. I prefer the happy tales of guns that seemingly<br />
came outta nowhere, surprisin’ scumbags who just weren’t<br />
ready for a “victim” who’d done their holster-homework. I<br />
can’t cover all the bases for you, but I’ll try first to present<br />
you with some options you may not have seen or noticed<br />
before, and second, to get you thinkin’ where you might<br />
wanta park that second pistol, or how best you can keep<br />
that howitzer handy while driving to Great-<br />
Aunt Emily’s place — okay? Here we go.<br />
