I almost got the brushed metal slide but decided against it because the silver would just bring more attention to it if my shirt were to lift up or something and I just dont want any un-needed attention while carrying a firearm.

 

Yeah, I figure that guns don't need to be flashy. Even if I had the option to get something else, all black is the best for carry IMO. Nice gun, and thanks for using my vehicles as the background

 

Just looked again. The only thing I don't like about this holster is the lack of a back strap. I might have to keep looking.

 

I'm so freakishly skinny it's gonna be hard for me to conceal it anyway...
If he can make me a good deal on it though I won't pass it up.
He doesn't like the short handle on the SC very well.

 

There is no way you are skinnier then me. Im 6' and after I eat a 7 course meal and havent taken a **** in 3 days I weigh 150#s. I used to weigh a bit more but I cut back on the beer drinking and lost some of my gut.

The short handle isnt the most ergonomic but the way I see it, Im not going to use it as a recreational gun, just self defense so Im not going to be using it much and when/if I ever have to use it to defend myself the last thing Im going to be worried about is whether my pinky is on the grip or not with the small clip. You can get more then enough grip on the gun with the other 3 fingers and thumb to control it.

Chris where do you plan on carrying it? I dont think a back strap is necessary for a SOB holster but I could see how it might be need for a hip holster. You have to remember though, these are made to go on the inside of your jeans so the need for a back strap is greatly reduced, and its not like you wont feel it working out of the holster a little since it would touch your skin. Just how I look at it. You will find that it is really hard to find an exact holster like you want, I may end up having to get my grandma to make me one.

 

nonnie how long does it take to get your permit

 

I want to carry it a little bit behind my hip. I don't like the idea of it being right on my hip bone. If you move it back a little bit it seems like it would conceal well in the arch of your back, but not directly in the middle where you can fall or sit on it. I'm also thinking about the back strap in the sense of if I ever get in a struggle with someone or someone sees my gun they won't just be able to come up and grab it out of the holster.

 

I got you beat by 20+ lbs. I'm 6' also and I finally got myself up to 130#s
I wish I could put on a few more, just haven't figured out how.

As far as the short handle goes I agree. Not a big deal for me I took it out and fired 100 rounds through it and now I really want one.

 

Holy **** you are skinny

I just went and weighed myself, Im 156 right now, guess I put a couple #s on this weekend. Its really hard for me to gain any substantial weight, I can eat and drink as much as I want and only gain about 10#s that you can bairly even notice.

 

I can't figure out how a skinny guy is supposed to get ahead these days when everything is "LOW FAT"
