How do you deal with it? Do you just wear a regular cowboy set up with your uniform, dual flap holsters (butt forward or back?), a single flap holster (again which way does it face) and a Slim Jim? I have considered a the latter two options, the option of wearing the regular set up and a second pistol belt with a second holster and thought about a single flap holster and "huckleberry" shoulder rig worn more vertical like a tanker holster. I am putting together a early 1870's cavalry set up and would like to stay as correct as I can, but the only photos I have seen with two handguns have the second one thrust in the belt, I doubt the Match Director and ROs will go for that!
A related question is how do your two handguns relate to your uniform? Do you shoot two 5 1/2" SAAs if Spanish-American War era, two 7 1/2 for IWs, two 1860, 1851, or Remington NMAs for CW or do you mix and match. I am thinking about one full size service revolver and then a smaller one (that would be used when going into town off duty or as a last ditch), maybe a 3" Sheriff's model (that is where the "tanker" holster would come in for me). I understand that in the case of a smaller hideout it would probably not be a Sheriff's model but since it will be used as a main match gun I didn't want to go down to a .31 1863 Remington or 1849 Colt pocket revolver!
Any comments you can give one how you picked your holster / gun set up would be appreciated as well.
Thanks,
