Thank God for Airweights...

[ez bake]

If you don't sweat on your carry gun (even in a pocket holster), you're not working out hard enough

Sweat got the finish in my 642 in a pocket holster - I was soaked with sweat when riding my bicycle (I've since switched to strapping a zippered soft-case to the bike in a place where people can't see that its a gun case).

I still make sure to wear shorts with a draw-string and pockets when running so I can carry the 642 - that or wearing a light-weight smaller backpack (no, not a purse-style, a smaller camel-back).

I'm planning on getting mine coated in something more resilient than the crappy clear-coat that Smith puts on them.

So how do you carry a loaded Airweight when you're wearing a tank top and a pair of gym shorts with an elastic waistband? I can just see it now, GED jogging on the bike path with one side of his shorts being dragged halfway down his butt...

On second thought, best not dwell on that mental image.

I don't think we'll have to worry about seeing that, hell hasn't frozen over yet!!!

Gotta love M38 Smiths, lightweight, dependable, shrouded hammer and easy to carry.

Here's a pair of 38-2's:

I'm okay with that!

What did you decide to do it in?

Last time I checked, Fat men only run when chased. Being one, I am allowed to say that.

In all actuality, when I'm not in uniform, that is basically my summer time...well...my year round attire. Cotton volley style shorts and a T-shirt.

The shorts don't have belt loops. They have an elastic waistband with a drawstring, two on-seam pockets on the front and one on the right rear side. Just enough pockets for what I tote.

Wallet/badge case in rear pocket.

Loaded Bianchi speed strip, Uncle Henry folding knife in front left pocket with Surefire L4 "Digital Lumamax" flashlight clipped inside pocket.

Works for me!

Now, I do have several pair of shorts that have belt loops and yes, if I/we (my crew) travel out of our normal realm, I do belt and holster up.

But the gear I described above still gets toted too.

Why jog when you can drive???

Precisely.

A Smartcarry works well for this.

I think it's great how Ruger improved on the S&W j-frame design with their LCR.
