This ideas sound cool in theory, but I would never be comfortable letting people know I am carrying. I would always be worried that some nit wit would grab it and start shooting when I am not paying attention.
Right now I keep it under my jacket until something gets dangerous, which it has once, and then pull it out. It still would be neat to wander down the street with my .50 Cal Desert Eagle stuffed in the front of my pants or in an old west holster.
No such thing as .50 cal Desert Eagle. Just .50 AE Desert Eagle. Besides, I would hate to shot something with a heavy recoil and heavy weight.
Open carry is “bling” ... (hey, man, I gotta’ gun and you don’t). My S&W 357 tucked under my shirt is just as much a deterrent as carrying it open. It shoots just as straight.
