A guides choice for my Bisley 45LC 5.5. although I often carry it with the shoulder strap set long so it rides lower like a where a bandooler would. The adjust-ability is one of the features I like. No matter the pack I have on or the clothing I can adjust the carry position to be comfortable.

Even with a good rig a 629 is still a chunk of iron, loosing some weight helps a lot. maybe long distance carry would be a good excuse to look at a Glock 20, that's something like 30oz for the glock compared to 45oz for the smith.


The collection of taxes which are not absolutely required, which do not beyond reasonable doubt contribute to public welfare, is only a species of legalized larceny. Under this Republic the rewards of industry belong to those who earn them. Coolidge
