Wouldn't the folding grip help?

That is my carry firearm. The extended handle does help.

Well, the gun ban at the range due to fire danger was removed and changed to Stage I.
But, the reason the fire danger was reduced is we have had heavy rain storms each day for the past 3 days. Now the range is a swamp.
I will get there sometime. Meanwhile, I will play with the dummy rounds.

The advice I have been getting on the NAA Forums is that I need a holster that covers the hammer. I am looking at a Driving Holster or a Pocket Holster with a holder for 5 spare rounds.

Looks slick but way too complicated for a SD situation. I'm sure this little guy has merits but a .410 shell loaded properly with PD would be a better first shot solution. Keeps me coming back for the BA. Way more 1st, 2nd shot options. All IMO if you will. One thing you can't argue, is these mini's can be packed and hidden easily; give it that.

I have the top holster and go anywhere with it tucked in any pants pocket or shirt pocket. Don't want any straps to unsnap. Fits tight enough that it isn't coming out unless I pull it out.

Holtz,
That is a very good idea and I have one of them to fit on a magnum frame.

Thank you for bringing that up,I had totally forgot I had one.

And yes,w/o the folding grip a pocket holster is mandatory for packing any of the minis.

Well, Bruce from Swamp People makes an argument that no holster is the way to carry the pistol

David,
I can see that he has a very good point there.

But I would still say that it is best have the piece in the pocket holster. Or in the case of the folding grip,that is the "holster".

I doubt if the folding grip was carried in IWB mode,it would be hard to detect to the casual observer.

I carry mine in front pocket. It carries like a big folding knife. Almost everyone carries a folding knife clipped in front pocket in the area I live in.
