And if nobody else runs a pistol on their chest, then how come there hundreds, maybe thousands of pictures on the web, and a slew of products meant just for that?
Just like the last time we had this conversation, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
Because like we have stated there is a time and place for it, and your seeing these photos out of context. Most of the photos I have seen of people with chest mounted pistols are NOT carring a rifle or even have a rifle sling on. The 1 that I have seen the guy is not wearing his sling right. My opinion is when wearing a rifle sling, because it's not a controllable item, there is as much likely hood of your pistol getting caught in it as there is for it to be out of your way, and that is not a chance I would care to take.
Clownbaby, you love the phrase "there is more than one way to skin a cat" and I can appreciate the sentiment, however if a person skins a cat and comes away with 5 separate pieces and another person comes away with one nice clean cat pelt it could be argued that one man's process is better than another's. There is also a saying "use the right tool for the job." You probably don't skin a cat in your garage the same way to do in the back of a moving truck, you have to adapt to your environment and use a different method. Does this mean when you go back to your garage you use the same method as on the truck? No, because that's no longer the environment your in.
Your argument is I've seen it in pictures, and they sell items to do it, so clearly it's a better way. Our argument is there is a time and place for it and it works well for those times and places, however outside those times and places there may be a better way of doing it. But you arent listening to our argument, because you think we dont know what we are talking about.
So yes there is more than one way to skin a cat, but that doesn't make our arguments invalid.
