How would you carry for CAS?

John_Blair · August 29, 2008, 09:04 AM

Hi Everyone

I have decided to get back in to CAS after a 8 years break. Don't have my Uberti Cattleman 5 1/2 s anymore. Now have a 7 1/2 Blackhawk and a 4 5/8 Blackhawk. Aside from changing to Modern catagory, I am trying to figure out how to carry, and I am looking for suggestions! Please help, with pictures and/or links to holster makers if possible.

Thanks

John

He makes C&B holsters, but you can ask if he'll make a Ruger rig:

Forget Cabela's unless you just can't afford any better. Get the best possible leather you can afford. You won't regret it. Cheap leather gets soft and you'll end up having to use leg ties to draw and use both hands to reholster. With the barrel lengths you have a crossdraw would be nice but a lot of RO'S don't watch muzzles. They watch your feet and if you don't do the dance they'll hit you with breaking the 170 rule. If you're just getting back into it go with double strong side.
