Title: MECO Split Pocket Holster
Post by: dano on February 01, 2011, 04:13:11 PM

I got a phone call today from Robert saying that he was working on the pup's new holster. Shortly after the phone call, I got an email saying that the holster was finished. How is that for service? Well done, I say! Robert did an excellent job with the holster and it is exactly what I was looking for. The pup is going to be ecstatic when his new outfit arrives. Here is a picture of the holster and I am sure that it will not do the holster justice. Thanks Robert! Another job well done!

I will be glad to let you know, how I like it, when I have it in hand. I am expecting delivery Saturday or Monday.  ;D

I have the split for the Seecamp, works well. Problem is I have a few of MECO's pocket holsters and I get tied up as to which one I use. So far the Batman one wins for the most used. Recently a trip to the SHOT show, I used a rear pocket MECO holster for my Seecamp and an RJ Hedley front pocket for the R-Nine.

Art.  How do you take a Seecamp and an R9 on a plane to the Shot Show?  Just curious.

Not answering for Art, however, you don't take them on the airplane but they can be checked if they are identified as such.

Title: Re: MECO Split Pocket Holster
Post by: kjtrains on February 04, 2011, 07:06:38 PM

So you can have them checked, if identified, with your luggage?

Yes. Here is the short course.

Thanks.  I never knew that.  I could have googled it, but didn't think of it.  Thanks again; that is great to know.

Needless to say but things have changed a lot in the past years. A friend of mine told me he flew in a Lockheed Constellation with a Captain in 1965 who would open his sliding window and take target practice on jack rabbits with his Colt revolver while waiting for take off at Long Beach airport.

WOW!  I can imagine what the passengers thought!

With four of those Wright R-3350s turning they might have thought it was a minor backfire if they even heard it at all. All you had to do was set the parking brake and run 'em up to 1200 rpm and tell the co-pilot to do a slow mag check. No one would have heard anything.

Yes, Tracker is correct.
If I am flying from an unfriendly airport the guns ship UPS or the other guys.
Do all your homework right up until you are ready for your flight, check TSA as well as the airlines regulations, they differ, and I think they vari from each official individual you come in contact with. For example the last trip I was not asked to open the container with the pistols in it, and you should place the "Firearm Declaration Tag"inside the container. I walked over from the ticket agent for the airline directly to TSA, told TSA I have to put the tag in the container, he said we don't need you to open it and it got swiped for explosives and then x rayed and onto the plane when I left. It was hand carried to the luggage department at the other end, it is not placed on the carousel with the other luggage.
I did have ammunition in it's original box, plus I had spare magazines loaded full with live ammunition and placed in magazine carriers, and holsters and a knife.
On the return trip, the airline ticket agent had me open the container didn't care to see the pistols as they were enclosed in pistol rugs, didn't worry about the ammunition, but she wanted to make sure the tag was placed in the container.
I also had a print out of their regulations as well as TSA's in the container.

Great info, Art.  Thanks.  I don't take a plane that much, but do go to Missouri; left the guns at home.

Not sure where you live or what states you have to travel through, but you may be able to take a gun or two.
If you are legal in Missouri, or you're going to a boni-fide class for pistols or competition you can ship your handguns there.
I like shipping my guns more than putting them on the plane, others feel the opposite.
I like having a tracking number and pay for insurance. Too many pieces of luggage disappear on the planes as you know.

I'd rather do that too.  Definitely wouldn't want to risk guns disappearing.  Thanks.

Oh, they have a chance disappearing no matter how you ship them, there lies the problem!

I'm more comfortable leaving them at home, then.   :D

Im looking at one of the split holsters ,just wondering how you guys like them and how are they when you draw from them?

Title: Re: MECO Split Pocket Holster

I like my split pocket holster. The draw from it seems to work well.  :)

I dont have a Split Holster.

I have several other Meco Holsters. I am 100% happy with them. Robert stands behind his product.

Here is another shot at the Meco Split.

Thanks for the replies and photo! I was wondering about the high side(outside) of the holster and how much trouble it would be to get you fingers between the gun and the holster when drawing? Ive narrowed my choices between it and the standard!
