CZ93X62
Official forum enigma
Last night, I started examining my several holsters I use for hauling around my war toys when going in harm's way. Those generally are in good shape, and some have been recently re-conditioned. As a part of this, I took out several of the carry guns--clearing them--and confirming their fit in the reworked rigs. The P-220, the P-226, the Glock 23, the 686 x 4", and the CZ-75B all got checked through. Maybe I'm just getting old and decrepit, but that CZ-75 is A HEFTY CHUNK OF IRON, compared to the alloy- and plastic-framed SIGs and Glock. The 686.....well, it too is a chunk--but that's expected. It has been a while since I hauled the CZ around much, so I elected last night to bump it up into the carry rotation for a while. I'm sure it was feeling neglected. I hauled it around today in a shoulder rig under a loose casual shirt, and a good holster can really make that heft seem to disappear.
Shoulder rigs were never very popular at my shop. I never understood that--they were ESPECIALLY handy when working from a car, since a belt holster was awkward as hell to draw from in a hurry while seated. For much of my career, I practically lived in a sedan or SUV. A shoulder rig allows discreet carry of full-sized or mid-sized autopistols and revolvers, instead of sub-compacts or snubbies that are limited in capacity and sight radius. Larger folks like me have trouble with the dinky grips on some of those tiny blasters.
It felt good to have that high-cap 40 S&W along at brunch today. The restaurant my old partners and I meet at on Tuesdays is in a neighborhood with its share of issues--largely hand-to-hand dope deals on an adjacent property. Given that police are currently unmotivated to disrupt such retailing, the perps conducting it feel empowered and emboldened to some degree, and may extend their depredations into other venues in this newly-expanded venture environment. One should always be ready for such developments.
