Why is is gun holstered on the stump side? :pullhair:

If he was right handed before his "accident", it makes sense to have the gun there for the quickest access, seeing how he was previously a police officer. Plus, he is in the middle of a zombie apocalypse, so finding a lefty holster might be difficult too.

 

 

I have to go back and look, I thought he bagged the holster for a long stretch entirely.

 

Maybe he's wearing it for show in his new constable role.

 

It's got to be for show because police officer holsters are "safety holsters" you cannot remove the gun pulling it from the front as he would be forced to do using his left hand coming across his body.

 

Safety Holsters are required in almost all departments in the last 15 years. There are two snaps, over the hammer, and another right behind the trigger guard. Even if those snaps are released the gun must be tilted backwards before it can be drawn. It will never come out trying to pull it straight up or forward first.

I know the holster thing on the stump hand drives me nuts too! So its one comic book per store & the stores automatically get it in then if they order walking dead regularly ?... Or is it something they needed to special order?

 

Ahhh! Sweet! Just called the shop & he said he ordered one & will put it aside for me if he gets it :)

Is it just me or are the Adlard covers getting worse & worse? You would assume that after 75 issues he'd be able to draw a Rick that actually looks half-way decent for the cover :doh:

this was actually an unused cover from years ago that had a blacked out face and rick had his hand.

 

from what i understand the face and chopped hand were photoshopped in explaining the holstered gun. adlard was not aware of this.
