John Dirks Jr Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Like me, I bet some of you wear out stuff like camera cases. I'm pretty picky about being able to have quick draw action. I found these USA Gear radio holsters to work well for me. Velcro flap, stitched belt loop (not clip) and flexible wet suit type material. I love them. They come in various sizes. Check them out if you need camera holsters. I remove the carabiner. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CTY ... ge_o09_s00 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C6O ... ge_o03_s00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 A camera shootout sounds like a good way to find the best camera holder. Any of you guys bold enough to take on the quick draw of the South? Have camera will travel. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 The trick is to have a small lanyard hanging over the edge of the holster. Flip the lid, grab the lanyard and extract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Simon Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Back right pants pocket; lanyard hanging. The heck with opening a case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 The trick is to get a long lanyard that'll go around your neck while allowing the camera in the holster. Really cuts down on camera damage from drops and makes it easy to grab for a quick draw. Then take your camera to a local leather guy and have him make one big enough to hold the camera and lanyard when not in use. A good belt clip for ease of on and off the belt. The magnetic snap opens when I pull on the lanyard. I guess you could use velcro but more effort to open.

Going on several years now. One of these days I might even polish it up a little but crawl spaces tend to degrade the polish pretty quick. Did the same (local leather guy) for my "every inspection" tool pouch! Click to Enlarge 87.92 KB Click to Enlarge 94.02 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Timely.. my camera pouch is fallin apart.. nice leather stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 Roots pouch, magnetic flap tucked in out of the way, patched with 5 turns of electricians tape. With no flap, I'm the fastest draw in the West. But I tend to run with hand on the holster like a TV lawman. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 I rarely don't have the camera in my hand; it's my primary note taking device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
