Ever Tried To Find a Pancake Styled Holster For a Ruger Single Six?

I contacted my usual holster maker, and he does not make one. Finally found one. Got it today. The gun I bought from a friend, it is .22 or .22 mag, the gun was made in the year of my birth, so I thought I would have some fun getting a Texas holster theme.

This gun, if carried, actually has to be carried with the hammer on an empty chamber, so a five shot. It has no transfer bar, so if dropped, can shoot. A friend of mine found this out the hard way. :cry He learned his lesson.

 

Knew people in Corinth Ms worked in shop making reproductions of war and historical items. Holsters were one line of work. I had a copy made for a 6-shot 357. They work off of pictures or drawing or original found items. Also do custom and requests. The pic looks like a nice pair.

:-D

No, not turning into Dirty Harry, I am a proud disciple of the great prophet John Moses Browning.

I have always wanted a 'cowboy' style revolver, I wanted a .22, and this deal came through. I am looking into getting one like it in .44 mag or 454 Casull or some ungodly caliber, just cause I can.

Yes, I 'need' one of these. Lots of bears around here.

As far as drawing a loaded gun, I have taken classes from 2 instructors. If you do it right, you are safe, if you don't, you may ventilate yourself. The single action gun pictured is actually the safest to holster (as long as you don't have it cocked.) as it will only fire if you cock the hammer and pull the trigger. Anyway, it is a fun gun. Looking into getting some custom grips for it soon.

Why do I have a sudden need for boots and a cowboy hat? :-D

 

I saw the word pancake and though oooh pancakes!! Imagine my disappointment when I realized this thread has nothing to do with food. :-D

 

Who in their right mind would order just one pancake? Pancakes, now we talking food! :-D

 

Well, now I want pancakes and a new pancake holster . . . with syrup (the pancakes, that is . . . )

 

Fred, ya mean your new holster holds up to SIX Pancakes!!??...:yum:drool
Would that be before or after syruping?...:yum

 

Just 5 'pancakes' in this one if in the holster. And I use oil, instead of syrup. :-D

That revolver is old school, if you drop it fully loaded, it is likely to fire. So 5, not 6.

 

Oh, I see. But you can always roll up #6 Pancake and put it in your mouth - like a cigar. Clint Eastwood style!...roflmao.

 

I do like pancakes, and a cigar every once in a while. Now, I can have both! Thanks! :-D

 

This would be my kind of holster!! :drool

Dang, now I really want some pancakes lol :yum :-D

 

Get to a Waffle House or IHOP then. Unless you want to cook them yourself! :-D

 

Heck, we have at least one IHOP, and probably 4 Waffle House places around here. Maybe why so many people are fat around here? Have never been to the IHOP, and has been many years since I went to the Waffle House. I learned to cook. :-D


Wasn't this thread about a gun or something? :-D

 

Who would have thunk it?

 

Never heard of it, but pancakes are always good. Never been a big Lent person, must be more of a Catholic thing.

 

I am confused now. Who has the gun? Musky has the donuts. :-D

 

In the skillet and soon to be on your plate if you are doing it right.

 

What, ice storms north of here, not driving through that! I am going to make some pancakes this weekend. :drool

 

Snow is not that big of a deal around here, but the ice will get you! My UPS package from Arkansas is delayed due to weather.

I got the smarts to kick back with the grill and adult beverages during ice storms.

 

Holster accidents are unfortunately very common. Holstering and drawing a loaded gun is something I sought out training for. Several things can go bad, and I don't want to ventilate myself.

As far as the bra holster, just seems like a horrible idea, but not my department.

'Never point a gun at anything you don't want to destroy'. I won't carry appendix style because of this rule, I kinda like my dangly parts.

Any holster adjustments should be done with an empty holster, (or a superchecked safe gun) but a gun pointing at your head? :confused A loaded one at that?rolleyes

Lots of YouTube videos of people shooting thereself with guns.

You folks know I love guns, but I really like the safe use of guns.

I just know there are better options for carry that don't involve pointing a loaded gun at your head.

 

I'm still waiting for someone to make me pancakes! :-D

Fred's too busy with his new holster, so someone must

 

A lot of guns don't have a separate safety lever. A couple of mine don't have a manual safety. Most of those are 'striker fired' guns. Pretty much an internal striker verses a more traditional hammer, like on most revolvers and guns like the 1911. The trigger has to be pulled to fully cock the gun, and then the trigger must be pulled to a certain point before the gun fires.

So even though they don't have a traditional manual safety, they have a few internal safeties.

That is why a proper holster is essential. It should totally cover the trigger, so nothing (finger, key, pocket lint, corner of a jacket... can come in contact with the trigger.

The real safety with a gun is the one between your ears.

As far as the bra holster, you can google "flashbang bra holster" if you want to see the proper orientation of the gun and the female parts. :-D

The gun should not point up towards the head. Talk about some thread drift... :cool

 

I had not read this thread until tonight because I thought it was about guns and holsters and I had nothing to add th that topic.:confused... BUT now I see it is about jelly donuts, pancakes, and southern drivers and I know about all of these things.
Raspberry jelly donunts are my fav:yum, Krusteaz Buttermilk Light & Fluffy Pancake Mix is the very best store bought mix there is, and Laura is correct southerners don't know how to drive in snow, we call in sick to work so we don't have to drive on it.LOL

 

Agreed here. :-D

 

Emm you left off the snow part. LOL

 

No, we have really bad drivers in good weather. :-D

 

That is hard to say. I often adjust my holster with a loaded gun. But, all I can adjust is where the holster is on my belt, or the tightness of the belt. This can be done by just pushing on the outside of the holster, nowhere near the trigger, which of course is covered by the holster.

Again, I don't know much about that type of holster. I am assuming it is kydex, and those often have one or more screws to adjust the tension on the firearm.

Just me, but doing any screw manipulations on a holster, I do it with no gun in the holster.

I always picture Mr. Murphy sitting beside me whenever I do stuff with guns. He loves to jump in and F some stuff up. :-D

 

No problem, have to do something to keep my title. :-D

 

MMM... Slightly overcooked blueberry pancakes, coffee with a dab of rum. Now that is how Sunday lunch is done, Fred_G style. :cool

 

...Nice holster, Fred. So it does hold syrup and the pancakes, as well as blueberries! :yum

 

What?! I ain't putting brunch in my leather holster! :-D Next time I think I will add some choc. chips.:drool
