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.

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

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

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.

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!
