Seatbelt holster - Here's 2 vendors & why you may want one.

Post by surprise_i'm_armed »

Forum friends

During the fun thread on my new truck/BUG, my Rossi .357 Magnum, 4" barrel,
I mentioned that it lives in my seatbelt holster. The reason I keep my BUG there
is because it is more easily reached while driving and seatbelted, than my EDC
PT-111.

saltydog452 asked about it. I will repeat here what I replied to him previously.
My seatbelt holster is a DeSantis Jamaican model, so-called because Jamaican
taxi drivers use them. Search the DeSantis holster website (I don't have the
exact name handy). IIRC, mine was about $50. They ship out of NYC/NYS
somewhere.

The other vendor I know who sells seatbelt holsters is "WRB".
The owner is Bill Bandlow, who speaks with an artificial voice device.
He has seatbelt holsters for $40, and other styles of holsters as well.
I have seen him and his holsters at the Fort Worth gun shows. He may
go to others as well, I don't know.

Here's his contact data:
903-887-2899
Toll free 888-824-2899.
Fax 903-887-0681.
PO Box 5539
Gun Barrel City, TX 75147-5012

A seatbelt holster can be used for either the usual hiding spot for
your BUG (covered with a towel or what-have-you),

OR

if you don't have a BUG, you can leave your EDC in it if you are just
running into a 30.06/prohibited place for a minute.

I very much like the fact that my EDC is on body, and that I have a
BUG within reach while driving. I used the long adjustable strap
around the bottom portion of the seat, and the gun sits in an
up-and-down orientation on the front face of the seat, right
behind my stick shift.

Mr Fos bought a WRB range bag. It is so well made we bought another and had it sent as a gift for a friend in San Antonio.

The friend's gun bag took a tumble off the golf cart he uses to ramble around his property - and a seam came loose. We took it back to see if the seam could be repaired and he exchanged it without a question and threw in a pistol case for our trouble.

Here is his website: http://wrbusa.com

Mr WRB also appears at gunshows in the Houston area.

My wife bought a bellyband holster from him.

If it helps you search, the DeSantis one is actually called the Kingston holster.

Thanks. Just placed the order.

eddieconcarne:

Thank you sir for updating the name of the seatbelt holster.

Now I don't know if it was a "Jamaican" at the time I bought
it, or my selective memory just picked up a close-by name!!
