    CHIPS question left of right handed??

    I just got into the line and I have a question

    I bought a mint Ponch and his holster is a right handed holster

    I bought a Jon from the UK and noticed he has a left handed holster.

    I looked a the gallery photos and it was too hard to see the holsters.

    Is Jon supposed to be left handed or is this something with the UK figures?


    Think B.A. Where did you hide the Megos?

    Interesting. I never noticed this. I just checked the pics of my figures in the accessory check section. My Jon and Ponch both have holsters on the left, and Sarge on the right.

    I'll have to look at them closer when I get home, but if I had to bet, I'd say it was random.

      I bet your right Dave. Probably depended on what holster was grabbed out of the bin on the line that day.

      I need to look at some CHIPS tv pics to see if Jon or Ponch were left handed.

          Your Jon and Ponch are wearing their holsters backward.

            D'oh your correct. Upon closer inspection the belt was on backward.

                To follow up The guy I bought the figure from must have been left handed. I am looking at a few more CHIPS figure from him, and all of them have the belt on so the gun is for a left handed person. The pistol was even turned around so it looked right.

                The joys of Megos, you can do with them whatever you want.
