Not particularly relevant but some may find entertaining.
I don't carry mine anymore.
Used to carry it overseas where the intention was to use it in environments where it was preferred over throwing shots. Protection details, tight quarters, etc. You can see mine tucked under my left armpit in my rig, for a right hand draw.
I think I have told this episode before, but the short version is, we had a guy following us told multiple sites. We set up a hasty ambush and jumped him when he came across a bridge and stopped him. I was joking around in the pic with my guys giving an impromptu verbal lecture in the application of the sap, while the terp spoke to him. Ends up the guy wasn't a bad guy (as far as we know). He was wanting a job. Or so he said. We had an excellent and very trustworthy terp, so I trusted his judgment.
No Iraqis were harmed in the making of these pictures...
