Haha, Jacket weather in Texas is not nearly so long. There is maybe two months where you could wear a jacket all day and two to four months where you could wear a jacket in the morning but would have to remove it for the rest of the day. Sucks riding to work at 5am having to bundle up in 40 degree weather then have to wear all that damn stuff home in the afternoon when its 85 or even 90. So then the rest of the year you don't need, and really could not, wear a jacket.
I have thought about getting a shoulder rig though for those particular months. That would be about the only time I could carry a large revolver. Been looking for a vertical style but have not found one I really love much just yet and with as much as those things cost I would like to know its the right one for me before buying it. Another problem is that I am planning on using it for a gun I don't have yet. I plan on trading my Taurus 627 in for a S&W 686 SSR in a couple weeks from now.
If you have any good suggestions for a nice vertical shoulder rig, preferably with the belt tie downs and speedloader pouches, let me know.
I already plan on getting a couple of crossbreed holsters, one for my Taurus Mill Pro and the other for my SW40VE. Those would be fine year round so a I would not have to get a shoulder rig at all if I can't find one.
Otherwise, I been thinking about getting a belt holster for the 686, though it would not be a concealed type, just one I could use to carry it if going hunting or in a zombie attack. Thinking about this one or something like it.
