Back in the day when fanny pack holsters were common I had a guy stare at my wife and me while acting like he was using a pay phone. I slid my hand in my holster ready to pull my SIG P220. The guy lost all interest in me and my wife. I didn't pull it out but he knew what was next.
That reminds me of a bluff I pulled one time.
I was walkin' to work about 5:30 one morning through an average-ish part of town .. not good but not "bad." It was close to a college campus and there were a lot of apartment buildings with open half-basement garages. No traffic on the side street so I was walking up the middle of the street 'cause light wasn't real good and I was uncomfortable with the shadows along the sidewalks. 2 guys came out of one of those garages and cut me off. I didn't say anything, I just "swept" my coat and reached for the back of my pants like I had a small of the back holster. They swapped ends and left. I was damn glad 'cause there was nothin' back there to grab but my shirt tail.
