As an avid outdoorsman I wouldn't want one. Hiking through deep brush, crawling over fallen trees, etc. they would just be very impractical. I think they are really best left on movie prop sets where they belong.

That's a fair statement ...
I'll say this about those holsters -- I've seen a few officers wearing them (small town guys, every single time) and my immediate observation was not a single one that I saw had any kind of retention mechanism on it. Now, I dunno if they make them with retention mechanisms or not, but that just seems like it's begging for trouble if you ask me. The second thing I noticed was that they were worn so low that it looked like the guys (even the one with Neanderthal arms) would have had to bend over to draw their gun. That didn't seem to practical either.
All that said, I've never even tried one on so my observations were strictly of the "intellectual" sort ...
I saw a guy wearing khaki pants and a black polo shirt wearing one.
He was helping another fellow transfer from p/u to p/u a Jogging/ treadmill...(or was that some new spying device?....I dunno...8) )
TSA agent ?...Maybe...?
It did get my attention when I saw it out of the corner of my eye.
It was in a Bank parking lot, in a Major shopping area....In broad Daylight.....8)

to the op.
Yes, it is legal.
Are you considering using one? Why do you believe it is a good holster for your situation/environment?

IIRC, someone has a Blackhawk! Serpa DLH for sale in the classifieds right now.
If they made one for my .22 pistol, I'd probably wear a DLH while on the tractor. Having it in a DLH would probably be safer than carrying it in the bib pocket of my overalls, and a belt/IWB holster just doesn't work in this situation. For some reason, the stupid gophers like to run out across the just-cut swath when I'm cutting hay, and the damage the little beggars do to the field is worthy of a .22LR boolit...
I wasn't accusing you of ridiculing him, but apparently I was mistaken? I guess you were ridiculing him they way you took my comment. I don't presume to know what the best way for somebody else to carry their gun is. I was just looking for your reasons why you think it's not a good idea or practical. There have been other comments in this topic that have stated opinions. Oh, and no, I don't carry my gun in a drop leg holster, so it's not like I'm looking for a pissing match.
Drop legs are mediocre at best even for a tactical or SHTF situation. The location of the grip and pistol is is constantly different. The pistol is rarely in the same position at any time other than standing stationary.
I'd go vest mounted before drop leg but my preference is truly belt carried OWB holster for OC. I believe vest mounted is also legal. Go walk into your local Walmart with a FDE vest mounted rig and see if no one calls the police.

this is why i asked the question that I did. as another option, consider a tanker shoulder chest holster in leather. it has the flap that covers the pistol, and is very secure. also keeps the weapon out of the way allowing plenty of mobility
