makarov is shoulder holster, hicapa goes in a drop leg and the sig is cross draw.

the sig and hicapa are in polymer holsters and the makarov is in a fabric holster, reason being is fabric holster+button mag release=lost mags.

For my PX4 I use an IMI retention holster, cross draw on my chest rig if I am using it.  If not, then it goes in a spare ammo pouch on my left hip on my SMERSH ( I use Russian webbing).  I am right handed.  

For my Makarov - again cross draw on the left hip.  I don't know why but I really don't like it being the same side as my shooting hand.  Probably not the quickest draw but its comfy for me.

Chest or right belt

I'm going to give the chest holster a go (got a cheapy molle Glock holster on fleabay £13) see how I get on, run a few drills etc. ?

I feel with a drop leg holster I find myself reaching down for it a lot more then I should. This might just be me, but due to this I have a belt holster as I need quick access to my sidearm. If my sidearm is on my chest, my sling gets in the way and on my leg I find the time to grab it is much longer. Having it only my belt allows me to quickly drop my rifle (connected to sling) and grab my sidearm instantly. (Also drawing from belt to aim is a far shorter distance than from a leg holster.

Anyone agree and do the same thing?? or am I just crazy...

Felt lined belt holster or jeans pocket

And he'll only shoot it holding it sideways too ?

Belt or drop leg always on my left side if I can , I’m not a southpaw but i shoot either left or right handed depending on the cover or angle of shot needed but seeing as most I’m predominantly Right handed when shooting a long seams to make sense to me to be able to transition to my secondary before I’ve even dropped my primary ? 

A man after my own heart!
I started out with a drop leg on my left, but then swapped to a right side drop leg, cos ASG don't make one for the left for the mk23 ? 
I'm lucky in that I can shoot well with my off hand - makes it much easier as a sniper to be able to use sidearm whilst still maintaining control of my primary.

As far as other holster go, for CQB I stow a pistol in my vest rather than using a holster.

I found the hoster on molle belt too high for fast draw. And I don't like holster on thigh. So I went for a compromise.

I have a Nuprol polymer holster on an IMI low ride polymer belt attachment. They can be connected to a separate belt under the molle one or to the inner belt of the molle. The Nuprol holster and IMI low ride are compatable.

Holds the gun at just the right height for me. The holsterr connects just below the bottom of my Condor battle belt.

The problem is that American brands like Safariland and even Blackhawk are ridiculously expensive in the UK.

Not if you are patient and find the right thing on eBay. Even saying that my current safariland was £80 from the US suppose it depends what you’d want to pay for a holster. I’ve picked up a few safariland, Blackhawk and other brands on eBay for £30 in the past.

Failing that getting a custom one made isn’t overly expensive and you can have the drilled to take a UBL or whatever you want to fit the needs, drop leg holsters are rediculously shit I don’t know why anyone would use them unless you have arms like Stretch Armstrong.

I'm a mid rise dude. The hip always felt too high & the drop leg was way to low for me. Took ages to find a mid rise holster but it was worth it when I did. 

Although I have now given my sidearm away to my son for his 16th ?

Gonna miss my old 1911

More excuse to buy something for yourself then

I was thinking the same, it's a good excuse ? but i started thinking of just not bothering with a sidearm at all now. 

It's just more stuff to carry, clean, reload during breaks. It will feel weird but I'm gonna give it a go & see how I get on.

This is where mine sits, behind my mag pouches tucks in nicely. kind of easy to draw, but to want to get a drop leg holster (fyi im not as fat as the rig makes me look just the position I had to put it in so it stands free front end is heavy haha)

Funny im currently debating a new setup, i have myself a shiny new smersh rig and a polymer makarov holster but i'm struggling to think of a decent place.

Currently seem to be 3 options:

-Left shoulder strap, fits ok but flaps around a bit

-behind right hand mag pouches, again fits but my arm dont bend that far

-on a molle drop leg panel
