Hemlock,

I think that you are looking for plans to make a hold-out holster.  I beleive that this was an adaptation of a cheating device used by crooked gamblers to hold cards and move them to the hand by means of a spring.  The only difference is supposed to be the shape of the clip that holds either the cards or the derringer.  Good luck on your modified Card-hold-out.  We'd love to see pictures when you are done.

Modoc --

That sounds about right but I need plans or picture.  An old Rem two holer .41 is heavier than
a few cards.

In the movie "Taxi Driver" Robert De Niro is making such a rig for a Walter PPK.
Maby you can find the instructions there?

QBall -

Thanks - I'll look for it.  I found an old picture on Google but it is too blurred to use.
It seems a PPK is a little large for up the sleeve but whatever --

Thanks - Mike

Hey Mike-
I can't remember exactly where but the plans for that rig are somewhere on this site http://membres.lycos.fr/tmcr/w3/tnot_history.shtml. It was developed for a Wild Wild West character by an engineer at the studio. I was looking for an outfit like Jim West used to wear and stumbled across it. Might take some backward diggin' from this site but at least it's a start.
