    I want an Un-Commander

    Another vote for the StreetMaster- that's the most extreme production gun embodying the concept you are describing.

    Best CCW Handgun

    +1 For the HK P2000. I have a LEM in 9mm, and it works very nicely as a light and compact summer CCW. I load it with 127 gr Ranger +P+ and I don't feel under gunned.

    Gun Belt Width

    I wear a 1.75" Wilderness CSM, but it's always fully concealed with either a pullover or a buttoned up untucked shirt. I agree the 1.5" looks better, but the 1.75" I find to shift around less, and is more comfortable after hours of wear. It doesn't matter in my case as nobody seems my belt anyway.

    Why is the Seecamp so popular?

    I have a Seecamp .32. It never gave me any trouble (using STHPs), and I used it as my BUG for a couple of years. I doubt I shot more than 100 rounds out of it that entire time. I recently got a Rohrbaugh R-9, and it has replaced my Seecamp. The Seecamp is a good bit smaller, but not too much...

    Detonics, are they any good?

    I dunno, I'm kind of tempted. I'm tossed up between a Colt Gunsite CCO and the Combat Master. Both have their good and bad points. I can wait a while for more Detonics reviews to come in, my Brown Kobra Carry will hold me over.

    Detonics, are they any good?

    Davidson's has them "on sale" until sometime in early December. Maybe it's an early promotion for the brand. I can get one for around $940 out the door in my area.

    Need help with 1911 holster

    I really like the Wilson Practical and the Sparks 55BN. The Wilson is fast and looks great in sharkskin. In trade for it's speed, it doesn't pull the butt of the pistol in real tight to your body, so you need to wear something loose or it will print. The 55BN is slower, but rides higher and...

    What to carry: Glock, Wilson or Kimber?

    I wish the G36 were just a little bigger, 8 round capacity and a 4-4.5" barrel, like a Glock Commander. The G36 mag extension pinches my strong hand pinkie finger with every damn shot. I tried one at my range, put maybe 4 rounds through it, and gave up. I much would've rather had the gun I'm...

    1911 carry guns?

    5" steel 1911 almost all of the time (varying brands), Brown Kobra Carry if I need something smaller (I carry OWB), or a Colt XSE LW Commander when it gets really hot.

    Who makes true Commander size pistols?

    I think the Smith Scandium Commanders have been delayed and are shipping sometime in July. I have my eye on one of those. In the meantime, my Colt XSE LW Commander will have to do. I also prefer true Commanders over the bull barrelled guns, they're just easier to deal with. Great carry guns...

    Talked to Jerry Ahern at Detonics USA yesterday

    Well, I guess they're just going to have to go out of business, AGAIN.

    Let's play,"Which pistol and why?'

    If you are looking for a carry piece, I would go with the standard SA Mil-Spec at the least, or stretch to a Loaded, and not the WWII. I have the WWII, and while it's a great value, it does have puny sights that are hard to see in a hurry. I also prefer a beavertail for any gun I plan on...

    Why no bull barrels in IDPA?

    Tet- I shoot my Wilson TE in my local club match. Sometimes they rib me that it's banned, but I get scored with everyone else, nobody cares. The way I look at it, IDPA is built around carry guns, and I carry that TE a fair amount. So, although the gun is technically illegal, and I certainly...

    Baer vs. Brown vs. Wilson

    I don't have a whole lot of experience with the Baers, but from what I've seen, I would prefer the Wilson to them, and the Brown over both. I think the most recent Wilsons (I just handled a brand new Professional) are really well fit up. They have started flushing the slide/frame/beavertail...

    I need a small 1911 type sidearm for CCW

    Second vote for the LW Commander. I had to spend a little money on mine- EGW sear, carry bevel job on the slide and hammer, and Novak night sights. Nobody makes a gun like it, except for the soon to come out S&W Scandium Commander. I wanted an alloy framed, bushing gun, and Colt was the only...

    Unertl 1911

    Way overpriced at $2500. I'm sure it's a nice gun, but you could get a lightly used CQB for $1500 that woudl do everything the Unertl can. Hell, you could get an Ed Brown Executive Elite for less.

    Looking for a CCW...

    I have two guns I'm planning on evaluating this summer. The first will be a Colt XSE LW Commander lightly worked by EGW (Novak tritiums & a carry bevel). The second will be a Tripps hardchromed HK P7M8. They are both way lighter and more compact than my standard carry, a 5" Govt Model. The...
