[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Double SOB Holster for 1911?

Posted: 2/22/2007 8:38:30 PM EDT

Hi all,

I have seen double SOB rigs in a few pics on the net. I was wondering where i could get one?

I thought they were made by Galco, But my search on there website didnt turn anything up.

I want one for a pair of 1911's.

Thanks for any info.

Those kind of holsters only work if you're carrying two gold Springfield 1911s

Would you be referring to the custom rig as used in "Face Off"?

If so, I happen to know the creator.

I don't have any of the pics, but they're all over the net. Nothing particularly fancy except for the gold plating. The double rig was set up for two government models and similar to the old Charter Oak version.

SOB carry is not recommended.

I carried like that for a while and was lucky enough to have someone on Arfcom point out the error of my ways.

In short, if you fell down while carrying SOB, you could wind up paralyzed.

There aren't any GOOD pics on the net...but I believe it was also ported ? I just watched Face/Off...those are some damn good looking 1911s :)

The double SOB holsters use the "cavalry" position (where you have to face your palm outward to grip the pistol). That results in covering your own body with the muzzle as you draw.

Looks cool for action heroes to use in movies. Not such a swell idea for real people carrying for self defense.

i own a NY Reload from Bell Charter Oaks for two Glock mid-size guns. the holster is designed to be carried strong side. instead of reloading the weak hand draws the second gun. I put the holster in the SOB to see how hard it would be to draw. it was almost impossible. Not too mention SOB is a BAD idea.Very rough on the spine if you fall and very hard to retrieve if you're laying on your guns and someone is on top of you.

And if you fall down while not carrying SOB you can also wind up paralyzed. SOB when done right is not particularly problematic in this regard, and provides a very effective method of carry for certain situations. It certainly isn't for everyone, nor is it for every occassion, but it does have a certain utility and a fair number of professionals in hot areas have used it with success.

Gold plated, ported, front-strap checkering, mag-well funnel and target sights IIRC.

Um, OK.

It's your wheelchair.

Yeah, but you'll need two belts and suspenders to hold it up.
