Yeah, I know how they're built. I know that's the way they hang. But not all of them. I wore Bianchi thumb-break holsters back in the 70s and they concealed hands down better than this one.

Gee, why didn't I think of that?

Yes, I know all about Milt Sparks. I carried a Summer Special for many years. Why didn't I buy a Sparks? Maybe the 24 week wait might have something to do with it.

Look, guys, I'm not looking for advice. I'm not even looking for sympathy. (I can find that in the dictionary). I made a bad holster decision (something we've all done at one time or the other, right)? I am simply hoping to help others benefit from my experience so they don't get ripped off by Bell Charter Oak.
