Just took delivery of a Rosen
"Workman" holster for my Colt
Cobra. Bought it used at a good
price from a nice gentleman on
one of the firearms forums.
Have been playing with it for several
hours, trying to position it for most
comfortable/concealable carry. No dice.
Any way I position it, it looks like I'm
very happy to see someone or am wearing
a colostomy bag.
For those not familiar with the "Workman",
It is one of those holsters which allows one to
tuck one's shirt in. Good idea, right?
Well, I can't make it work. Oh, the shirt tucks
in okay, but the holster utilizes so much leather
to make the concept work that a Colt Cobra grows
to the size of a "K" frame S&W.
Let me add here that I really like Rosen holsters.
He bends and sews leather as well as anyone.
I've been carrying my Colt using a Barami Hip Grip
for at least ten years. In fact, this is the first
holster I've ever bought for it. But I will relegate
its use to training and the occassional IDPA matches
where we break the rules and feature a back-up stage.
To me, this design is a gimmick.
This is not to disparage any holster maker; rather it
is to point out what we all know....some ideas are
better left on the drawing board.
