Well, blasphemy to the wheel guns . . .

10 Bears · 07-05-2016, 10:36 PM

I got my holster for the P-85 today and now I'm packing a 9mm.

Shame on me, and all those wheel guns will be ignoring me and cussing.

Thanks to my NY City friend, I now have two mag holders also.

Why do these damned firearms gain so much weight when you ignore them?

Got so used to that little .44 Special I didn't realize how much heavier
the darned P-85 was going to be.

The irony is that the Pawn Shop I stopped at only had ONE used holster.

He picked it up, read on the back, looked me at said, "Only one holster,
in the entire store and it's for a P-85/P-89!"

This one: New $204.00

With tax it was $37.10, he started out at $49.95 got him down to $35.
plus tax.

Has a retention system that you can disable or flip off on the draw.
Been practicing, using both sides

Step son's remark, "You're right handed, you have your cane in your right hand, what you gonna do, change hands?"

"Nope, if I have to draw I'm not going to need a damned cane."

And on another site, they were saying

that the members here were bad people...

Sounds like you got a ganga on that holster!

I know what you mean about your wheel guns.

I'd rather carry my Model 29, or even the 1911A1, but after my last social encounter with dreamers, it's the Springfield XD45 with 13+1 of .45ACP from now on.

I saw that and it was just a few members who don't mean nuttin. Ah hell I met more good members and got help like Mr. Bears did from all the fun forums. Especially including the "conservative ."
Hell I ignore the negative on all the forums and just continue on to have fun and learn.
Now Bears I read where a wheel gun jams more than a pistol, true false I will let the pros decide???

ADD: Damn now I feel really bad. When I whupped brother Merc at arm wrestling I just found out it was his opposing right arm. Poor kid is left handed damn I feel bad.

Damn, those p-85s are cheap $ on gunbroker

Nice holster, Ten.

Kim's late husband left her a S&W Model 39-2 with a plain black Safailand holster. It is
well over 40 y.o. now and, although a tad worn and showing it, it still retains the pistol
pretty tightly (no thumbstrap).

I see that Sportsman's Guide has 32 round mags for sale,
Less that $30.00 each. Interesting.
Mag holder would look like a sword scabbard.

REDOAK · 07-07-2016, 04:20 PM

Can your cane handle be replaced with the P-85?

10 Bears · 07-07-2016, 09:21 PM

Ha, not without a bunch of Gorilla Glue.

But, I could create a cane, with a big fugly handle, disguising that critter.

I ran across a cane gun once

It was a .32 RF

I probably should've bought it

But finding RF would have been rough

and if I had it I would like to have shot

it at least once

Cane guns are still around, center fire and Rim fire .22 cal.

Why not turn the cane into a mag? It would be awful heavy.... but on the up side you wouldn't have to stop to reload.

Years ago I meant to get a PC9 - P85 combo as the mags are the same, I never did get the P85, maybe I should complete it now.
