Pops often wore an M-7, with the one strap, in Vietnam. So they were still aviable by the early to mid 1970s. Said he liked the one strap because it didn't interfere with the inter-com cord going into his flight helmet.

He also wore a S&W M-15 in a swivel type holster on a web belt.
 
If you look closely you can see a 1944 Remington Rand in an M7 Shoulder Holster.

That was in May 1991 in southern Iraq.

I still have the holster. I bought a 1944 Remington Rand so that I could get the band back together. :)
 
i like the holster but i have a question:

the band holding the gun in the holster is on the grip

is the gun carried in condition three?
(hammer down on empty chamber)

or.....dare i say: condition two?
(hammer down on loaded chamber)

i know that condition two carry is frowned upon,
which is why i ask

(sorry to hijack the thread)


i have a holster where the strap comes across the
cocked hammer, so i can carry in condition one
 
I always carried mine Condition 1, but I dont answer to anybody else about it. :)

Ive carried Colts, SIG's, Glocks, and a couple of others in mine, and all of them were "loaded".
 
What the hell is the point of carrying a gun with an empty chamber?

Excuse me mister shooter while I rack my slide...don't think so
 
Pops said that we could carry Condition One from the time the helicopter took off to the time the engine shut down.

Any time else, it was mandated that he carried conidition three.
 
I don't have a real Remington Rand, but I have a real, issued shoulder holster like that. I "acquired" it while I was still in the USMC back in the late '80s. :)
