Audley holster

MikeP · 04-30-2022, 02:10 AM

Big reason I would never use one as a carry piece.
I usually only carry on occasion, but if I do,there is one up the spout.
Most modern pieces are designed to do this safely.
Someone who wants to depend on a relic from the past to save his life or others is not taking it seriously.
I have a sad story about a Marine who died with his hand on his operating rod.

All true, but any pistol that fires is better than no pistol, JMHO.
And dropping a weapon is already negligent.

Hi to all, well, that didn't take long... I thought $100.00 was a stretch, but it when for a bit more. Oh well! I would probably get more excited if it were a 4" version. The first time I ever saw one was 30 + years ago when I was still in South Dakota working on boats! I had a small poster up saying I collected military stuff and one day a fellow walks in with a 1913 DWM in a 4" Audley holster, all in nice shape. As he related the story to me, his grandfather was a pilot on the side of the allies, and the holster was supposedly used because the pistol wouldn't fall out when upside down??? !!!!

Made sense, although the gun was not for sale and the conversation faded, and I never heard or saw anything like it since... Now this Audley 6" NAVY holster pops up. I got to thinking, when your in a plane, and you're a decent pilot, when upside down, you just fly it back to right side up? Ok, that's easy enough, but in the NAVY, whether your on a ship or sub, upside down is REAL BAD!!!!! And the last thing on you mind, both figuratively and literally, is NOT your Luger! I can't help it, that's just the way my mind works.... best to all, til.....lat'r....GT
