Appendix is nuts. A full size G17 and a full size mag just disappearing under a normal fitting shirt. His broad shoulders/chest really help the shirt drape over the rig.
Shoulder holsters are quite possibly the most uncomfortable piece of shit ever made. I spent hundreds of dollars on 2 different holsters just to end up never using it.
Great video guys! Love that you kept the „bloopers“ in. Would never carry anything on the back like that, my spine is to valuable to me for that 😅 a lot of police officers also keep that part of their duty belt „equipment free“ due to risk of spine injury.
Haha, I was looking up new holsters and UA-cam was like "Here is a video you might like" I watched this back when it came out but figured I might as well watch it again. Great video guys!
For the scene in spectre when he goes out into the desert base and the butler ask for his gun, he pulls his gun from the 5 o’clock position in a inside the wasteland holster. Very comfortable way to carry, shoulder holsters quite the contrary and I guess they just keep it alive for brand.
Have you any info or pictures of the holster used in License to Kill? All I know is it was called The Falcon by Galco holsters. Discontinued shortly after the film due to possible copyright infringement? Thanks.
Bond wears a p99 in a vega iwb at the 5 o clock in casono royal when hes in the Bahamas after the airport chase and fight scene and with small of back carry you wont flag anyone if you take it out properly and keep the barrel pointed down as you bring it around I personally like sob carry if I'm walking for along period and I know I wont be sitting or sitting for limit periods because when postioned properly the curve of ur lower back and the grip of the pistol sit together nice and you wont print at all or very very little
I'm a huge James Bond fan and I'm also an avid shooter and firearms enthusiast. While I love the movies, they always get firearms wrong. For the modern Bond, the PPK is not a practical firearm considering the market today. The .32 or .380 is a very underwhelming round. 9mm is more practical for the modern shooter and i was thrilled when they updated to the P99 as it's a more practical gun then the PPK but then they reverted back to the PPK for some reason. I love bond but the guns and tactics, for me, just reminds me its entertainment.
The other aspect I would have loved to see is that when Boothroyrd and Fleming were trying to find a better gun for Bond then his .25 Beretta, Boothroryd suggested a Smith and Wesson airweight in .38. That would have been a phenomenally better gun back then versus the PPK. I fantasize about a world in which Bond carried a snub versus the PPK.
All very true but it s a movie, fantasy, like it or not the PPK is the classic bond gun everyone wants to see ( even if it is a PPK/S or has some dum biometric trigger).
Bond's firearms were meant to be used as the target was kneeling and the barrel a few inches from the skull. When he needed a heavier caliber he would get it.
@@jackleg2007 "meant to be used as the target was kneeling and the barrel a few inches from the skull." WTF, is this bond the slaugterman your talking about? Target kneeling, barrel a few inches from skull what the hel are you on about?
I got the black bond peacoat with the fur collar in cashmere! It was an accidental purchase (Amazon 1 click oopsie) but my wife loved it on me so much that she wouldn't let me return it. Very happy to own a great piece thanks to your video. I read your interview on the Billy Reid website, how did you become a young executive?
In reference the comments about falling down with the SOB carry are a bit off. While you may crack a vertebrae or injury your muscles, the chance of actually damaging the spinal cord is almost nil. The structure of the back muscular and the bone structure itself prevent this from a ground level fall, even if pushed back. That being said, I have seen police officers injured from wearing their cuffs in the small of the back. This is almost always a muscular injury.
my biggest gripe with carrying at the SOB which no one mentioned in the video is the possibility of falling on your back & becoming paralyzed from the gun metal damaging your spine which I’ve actually heard happening to a detective in his career actually having a very bad spill & landed perfectly on the SOB where the gun was damaging his spine leaving him in a chair forever. I know it’s a far cry from happening but if you’re a freak of nature like me who never wins the lotto but catches the extremely rare blood disease & see that happening to you then I fear carrying SOB you couldn’t pay me to carry that way, lol
Once being thrown from a horse I landed on my hip holstered 1911. The grip shattered when I hit a boulder, which may have saved my hip. It may have saved my life as well, in that I was able to get up and back on the horse.
@user-uz7dm6qn3y that's why you need to just ditch those goddamn big ass guns. Of course a 1911 is gonna fuck you up if you fall on it. It's 2 goddamn pounds of steel. It might as well be a fucking brick in your pants. Get a subcompact pistol and a pocket holster and you'll never leave home without it.
So Bond does wear it on his side, it's not the orientation that Ray does it, but it is closer to his side than Casino Royale when Bond is chasing Silva in the subway in Skyfall. At least I think he is...
The Vega holster really isn't good for anything but the movies. If you had to use your firearm in defensive case the holster would collapse making it difficult to reholster.
NoVa JB, Yeah, you may be right, but I've got one, but only to hold my Walther PPK. The best thing I've found to shrink the leather was a hot water and alcohol spray which shrunk it nicely and keeping it very snug. Mwah!💋🍸
This guy seems to have a decent knowledge of firearms but I don’t know where he was going with that Vega holster. The clip shouldn’t have to be reversed for a right handed shooter in its current configuration. I owned that Vega with my P99 and currently own the Galco version with my Glock 26. Galco is far superior in my opinion. The suede Vega uses is way too thin and flimsy. That shoulder holster you have looks nice, as you said, but Galco wins again with me. The Miami Classic II is extremely comfortable and extremely practical.
depends on how/where you want to carry. that holster was set up for right handed hip (3 o-clock), but if you want to use it at the small of back (6 o-clock) you want to put the clip on the other side, which turns the gun around so the grip is pointing at your draw hand, not away. If you have a holster set up for right handed hip carry put it at the small of your back and try to draw, you'll see
@@aarondesch It's been a while since I've seen Casino Royale, but Bond appears to have his P99 in the 4 o'clock position to me. It's in the same configuration as this Vega holster, as well, which makes sense to me for a right-handed person. pbs.twimg.com/media/EW7OqbEXQAEm8Jp?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 i0.wp.com/bamfstyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/cr8-cl-iwb.jpg?ssl=1
I am Chinese from Hong Kong , be honest I hate British so much but I am huge fan of Jame Bond, I still remember the day my parents took me to cinema watching Living daylights. And I never miss any Jame Bond movie
A real James Bond would carry a 9mm now. Max Joseph of TFTT came up with position SUL. If you carry your handgun in the small of your back, you may fall backwards and break your spine.
The way David handles the toy weapons is so cringeworthy. He has a carry license! 😳😳😳 Get more training before you hurt yourself or an innocent person. Btw the best shoulder holsters are with Brosnan.
He has a carry licence?!?!!?! I saw a video of him waving his PPK around while doing a review on a sweater, lazing his own body and everything around him EDIT: just finished watching this video. Gave me a heart attack every time he lazed Ray (and himself) with that toy gun. Yes it's a toy gun but if you treat a toy gun like that, you probably treat real guns like that as well. Do they not teach basic firearm safety in CC courses???
The Bond Armory and the Bond Experience together. Fantastic!
Appendix is nuts. A full size G17 and a full size mag just disappearing under a normal fitting shirt. His broad shoulders/chest really help the shirt drape over the rig.
That man is the type of person that lies to himself on a regular basis. Nobody on earth thinks appendix carry is comfortable.
I have been wearing a shoulder holster for a couple decades.... They allow me to stay comfortable and easily carry extra magazines all in one rig.....
Shoulder holsters are quite possibly the most uncomfortable piece of shit ever made. I spent hundreds of dollars on 2 different holsters just to end up never using it.
Let me know which pistols you have a shoulder holster for…? I will probably be interested
No joke, my first thought when he drew the gun was "Good trigger discipline."
Great video guys! Love that you kept the „bloopers“ in. Would never carry anything on the back like that, my spine is to valuable to me for that 😅 a lot of police officers also keep that part of their duty belt „equipment free“ due to risk of spine injury.

While my dad was a C-141 flight engineer in the American Air Force he had to carry a Smith and Wesson .38 Special using a shoulder holster.
Excellent video. Thanks David and Ray!
Can't wait to see Icebreaker as a movie.
For the scene in spectre when he goes out into the desert base and the butler ask for his gun, he pulls his gun from the 5 o’clock position in a inside the wasteland holster. Very comfortable way to carry, shoulder holsters quite the contrary and I guess they just keep it alive for brand.

i bet Ray was very pleased with the new poster then!
Hey David what brand of pea coat is that in the background for Skyfall??
Nicely done. It is good to see the different methods.
Who makes the Daniel Craig Shoulder Holster?

Do you remember which jacket?
@@Thecarcissist12 it's the Black Bond Peacoat in Cashmere with Fur Collar.
I've never seen one with fur
There's a video where he reviews one out in the snow. Super warm.
In “You only Live Twice” Bond is seen carrying his PPK in his suit jacket without a holster but only in a short scene.
In reference the comments about falling down with the SOB carry are a bit off. While you may crack a vertebrae or injury your muscles, the chance of actually damaging the spinal cord is almost nil.

🤣 this video is gold!
I’m watching this after No Time To Die came out and…wish fulfilled. That stair sequence at the end of the movie….we got the Bond wick moment
what???
@@TheAlienwaredude we got a scene in James Bond like a John Wick fight scene. When Bond fights his way up the stairs it’s a lot like a John wick scene
@@bpetey5970 aaah okay thanks for explaining me 😁. It was unclear what you meant. And it is a good scene. There could be more like that.

What was watching Tomorrow Never Dies like for you? I’m American so in that situation I don’t have any sort of opinions, but I’m interested in yours
10:34
I think that is a Denix replica ppk
Ay mate you got a licence for that?
if you carry IWB plastic or kydex holsters that click in are best. Leather is overrated, hot, and require a snap.
Leather is comfortable. Plastic is constant chaffing.
The biggest reason why against small of the back holsters is if you get pushed or fall down on your back with a pistol there will break your back.
A real James Bond would carry a 9mm now. Max Joseph of TFTT came up with position SUL. If you carry your handgun in the small of your back, you may fall backwards and break your spine.
