Another vote for a Glock. You can get a Glock 23 police trade-in for really cheap. That's what I carry while I am working in BFE.

But a Glock 19 and be done with it.
Only queers don't like Glocks.

Isn't the G23 the one that occasionally goes KABOOM?

Only every time you pull the trigger

I carry a 43 in my front pocket in a cheap Blackhawk pocket holster any time I've got pants on. Which includes on the farm.

It isn't the best pistol to plink with.

It isn't the highest caliber of man stopping power you can carry.

But it beats the HELL out of ANY pistol that isn't on you at the moment you need it.

And Carlos is full of crap on his straws...

You can't go wrong with ANY Glock. Period. Goes bang every time you pull the trigger, plain and simple

I usually take my single six 22mag. and ratshot, although I call it snakeshot cause I've shot more snakes with it than rats.

I can not recommend this holster for anyone. It is inherently dangerous. The placement and force of the trigger finger needed to release the lock has caused a lot of good people to AD their pistol - some of them shot themselves pretty badly.

That holster is banned at any shooting school worth going to.

Really? The holsters without the retention button phugging suck in my opinion. I have no problem drawing my weapon fast or slow, retention button takes Little to no force to release weapon, sounds like the folks "you know" that shot themselves needed training before ever touching a firearm

Not anyone I know. An editor for an outdoor magazine and some random people. There have been several dozen incidents nationwide.

I own one and wish I didn't. I can't have any issues on my conscience so I can't even give it away. I whacked it with a hammer and threw it out.

Be aware that any gun school worth their salt will not let you train with that holster.

Here is where a bunch of cops have shot themselves while training. http://tagtrainingllc.bympa.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Safety-Issues-Re-Serpa.pdf

Here's where homeland security banned the use of it for all of their personnel. https://www.fletc.gov/sites/default/file...listerStudy.pdf

Here's where the U.S. Forest Service banned it's use for all their people. http://www.glocktalk.com/threads/safety-issue-prohibiting-use-of-blackhawk-serpa-holsters.1421788/

There are lots more. The only cops still allowed to use them are in podunk areas.

I will say it again - that holster is inherently dangerous and I do not recommend it's use for anything.

Glock 19. If you go down your wife may need to shoot it. You need something that someone else can operate.

I'm just the opposite. I think retention buttons suck. I can shake a good kydex upside down without the gun falling out.It's not going to accidentally come out of a good holster even without an active retention device.

first off i aint carry rat shot in nothing . if the snake that close , you're bite . if you can't hit a snake at ten feet leave the gun home !!!!!


colt 357 or a glock 21 , is what i carried when i worked on a farm for 23 years .

both stayed fully loaded

This is what I mostly carry in the woods. When I see a rattlesnake I get a little crazy. May not hit him until the 10th shot. My other wood Guns are a glock 10mm or fnh 45. Both hold a lot of rounds and are reliable. I only take them when I'm in woods that hold a lot of hogs.

I was referring to the fobus style holsters, I have several just sitting in the closest. I absolutely hate them never could get the hang of removing my weapon properly..

Hmmm very interesting reads thanks for sharing...

Another vote for a Glock 19

From a panty wearing old retired fart.

This

Yea,it will work great if you don't shoot your leg off or the gun doesn't explode.
