    Default Day 1 of EDC, also sticky holster content

    So yesterday was day 1 of EDC for me. I feel quite liberated to be honest. The idea that you now know you have a fighting chance to protect your family should the need arise.

    So our sites are strict anti gun, but have lockup facilities available. I do think however that there are very few who actually carry regularly, as I surprised security a bit at both the sites I visited yesterday. The guys had to find the keys, and ensure that both locks were working fine independently, and clear out the only safe that had both keys at one site.

    Then onto the sticky holster that I bought for it, in my limited experience thus far, I quite like it. It is very comfortable save for the safety on the pistol that starts digging in a bit by the end of the day. I was surprised at how comfortable it is in the car, even at the same 15:30 position, considering I drove to Middelburg and back to Pretoria.

    Retention is good, did not get the feeling it wanted to jump out of the holster to go and shoot liberals by itself at all I do think I will need to check how I unholster, as the rear sight does tend to catch ever so slightly on the seam around the opening of the holster.

    So today starts day 2, and we are going to a braai, with unknown amount of people and we only know the hosts, so this will be either a good test of how well the sticky conceals, or a test of my ability to sway some of the guests to our way of thinking

    Oh, and just to check with the more knowledgeable here, I am carrying 1up, with the hammer down. It is a da/sa pistol with an inertia firing pin, and no firing pin block.

    Grr, tried adding a pic, but Tappet talk is being full of it

    Well done on carrying Minerva, conceal well and enjoy.
    Maybe also look into a good kydex iwb holster when the wallet allows it.

    Thanks ASP, I have spoken to a local guy who does custom IWB stuff in passing, so that is part of the plans for the future. As you say though, when the wallet agrees with me...

    It is a Beretta 81 in .32ACP

    Let's see if the pic will work today...

    Hey Jaco, don't recall the dude's name to be honest, but he does holsters on the side at NSN guns in Silverton.

    If I recall he mentioned that he can make me a holster for the 81 along the same design as an old faithful. I still need to do some research on which design to try and imitate though.
