The Patterned Compliance Pistol

[jandbj]

This is what I am doing. Always some cash in my shirt pocket. Nothing says compliance like some raw cash to start things off and you are right, it's also a great distraction for everything else that's coming. I also have a set of keys that go to nothing and a false wallet with some more cash but nothing else of value, sometimes even a junk cell phone.

Clumsy handover of loose cash is even better. More likely their eyes follow the $ to the ground.

Love this thread! The pocket shot seems pretty viable conceptually as it seems it may offer additional confusion for the perp, as he sees it is holsters, then realizes it is what it is. That being said, Craig”s draw was so spot on, he will realize it is not a holster about the time he hits the ground. Also, aren’t pocket holsters like that Desantis “AOWs?”

The “now it’s an AOW” (espoused BATF theory being it was now a “disguised weapon” like a pen gun or cane gun) ruling shenanigans was specific to the aforementioned Galco ones for the High Standard derringers, Seecamp, & Beretta 21A that completely enclosed the gun. The pictured open slide variants like the Desantis were a workaround to that.

This thread feels a bit like old-school P-F. I like it.

Only this place could have a guy practicing draws and buying multiple holsters for an LCP.

My LCP has been 100% reliable, but I don't have a lot of confidence about sitting on it. So I watched @SouthNarc's video a few times, and using the hip turn my entire right arm is not visible during the draw (I made my wife watch to be sure). There is no difference between a draw from the R rear pocket or my waistband. Now I need a 1-sided holster, and an IWB (Vedder makes one) for the LCP. Carried a little farther back than I would with a larger pistol, but not SOB, I think IWB is an option.

Other positives: it's easy to draw while sitting for the Pulp Fiction presentation. Pocket and IWB are accessible with my left hand, but IWB is easier.

And I need a money clip.

On handovers I think I said a while back that I carry a fairly big Vincent Vega heroin-deal sized roll of cash in my pocket. The bills don't have to be large denominations but a big roll is fairly distracting.

Big roll, iPhone, wallet, watch, and key fob are all nice handovers.

They're all just sparklys for a face shot so the more they draw the eye the better.

Nice shoes work well too.

I couldn't help thinking about this video while reading this thread.

It's actually hard to follow Vincent's dialogue about his Malibu in this scene because that MASSIVE cash roll is so distracting.

A John Wayne variation (skip to 3:00 for the action)

The John Farnam student's shooting incident provides a good example of how compliance won't stop the truly vicious from simply murdering you for the Hell of it.

Although he faced multiple opponents, only one engaged him.
The others rannoft, which seems to be the overwhelmingly popular response to gunfire during predatory criminal acts.

I'm also a fan of a money clip..... A $100 on the outside with like $20 of 1's on the inside to give it some girth will probably make the dude look pretty hard.

So, would these be practical for this application?
