Rather than some sort of silly banner, sash or badge, maybe all Texas CH licensees should carry a fuscia, mocha or teal, etc. CW?

That way, the LEO and other CHL folk (GG's) would be able to differentiate between the BG's (black guns) and the GG's when we get into pitched gun battles against the various forces of evil.

:iagree: I wear stonewash denim shorts with white tank tops most of the time in summer. That would be a good combo for me. I have a petol bismol pink taurus and a raspberry LCP when the grip of those get exposed I don't think anyone really looks at it twice thinking it is an mp3 player or a cell phone. I know, I know, real men don't carry pink or raspberry colored guns. But I am a female so I can do it. :smilelol5: :woohoo

Men liked the Smith & Wesson 3913LS, but didn't like carrying it because LS stood for LadySmith. So S&W made a 3913NL. The NL was rumored to stand for Non-Ladysmith.

Living in South Texas, most of my shirts are light in color. I think the color of your holster is more important than the color of your firearm. Most holsters seem to be black, which is difficult to conceal under lighter colored shirts.
If the 2nd admendment only applies to muskets and muzzle-loaders, then the 1st admentment must apply only to the spoken or printed word. Printing must be done on hand presses, news stories must be written in longhand, no keyboards or electric processes may be used.

AMEN

I got my Glock 26 in Olive Drab because it shows through my T-shirt less noticeably than Black did.
My Comfort Carry Holster (By Rob Durham) is black; He didn't used to dye them black, they were natural color like a Kholster, so now the Comfort Carry gets worn at Church with my black pants and 2 shirts over it (I still wear Kholster a lot too when wearing JUST white T-shirts, like in Summer) My Desantis Tuck-This 2 is black, as are uncle Mike's Nylon holsters, .... holster makers need to start offering lighter color choices for us wearing lighter colored clothing [like we do in Summer].

Back to pistols .... I wear Stainless too when I don't have on my Olive Glock, (OFTEN in Addition to my Glock, with Glock at 3:00 and Stainless PT-709 in Small of Back) I sold all my blued guns and replaced them with Stainless for sweaty humid fishing gardening yardwork days

Double ditto on the stainless steel for S. Texas. BUT, they nearly all have black grips. Having a choice of a lighter colored holster would be an asset.

My Sig P230sl is just the right size for carry, but devilish thoughts seem to be entering my mind regarding the new S&W Bodyguard 380. Looks like a great size as it is not double stacked.

Anyone have any experience yet as they are so new?
