Hi folks, Want to let everyone know that if they are in need of a quality IWB holster to check out TT Gunleather http://www.ttgunleather.com/index.html. I already own a Milt Sparks VMII for my 5" Springer 1911 but was needing a IWB holster for my Springfield Champion. Saw that MS was still a...

Have a Radio Shack self installed system. 95 lb. American Bulldog backed up with a 870 riot and a SA 1911. 20-30 minute response time in my neck of the woods for help to arrive on a good day. Had a neighbor down the road who was hit with his B----s system armed and they stiill managed to load...

I'm with Mr. Bennett and keep it holstered. Want to be fully functional after coming outta la la land. (Deep sleeper).

Never tried appendix carry. Have a hard time getting past the thought of that muzzle pointed at such a sensitive area and the femoral artery in that vicinity. Been carrying IWB strong side for years and quite comfortable with it. Also think it is the better position in case of a scuffle with...

What part of "lethal force" are we or am I missing here in this thread? If someone is intending to take my or my families life I am shooting to kill to neutralize that threat in the least amount of time possible. JMO This is taken from Florida's CCW website. Q. When can I use my...

Thought this was the High Road. From a few of the insensitive threads, I believe without naming names some members here are downright cruel. I am a 48 YOA retired E-8 Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer. I was a small arms instructor for 12 of my 24 years and am also a NRA certified instructor. Been...

I'm a SA 1911 5" IWB packer and recently swapped over to a SA Champion which is IMO the best CCW I've ever owned. When I do carry a revolver it's usually a "J" frame model 36 in a Don Hume IWB. Occasionally pack a moel 29 3" OWB in the winter and making long road trips. Go S&W and you will...

1911 all the way Had a Hi Power with adjustable sights back in the late 70"s. Terrible trigger and didn't like the muzzle flip. Safety was too small and couldn't hit crap with it beyond 15 yards. Traded it off. Early 90's - Bought a Springfield Standard 1911 with lowered and flared...

I too have respect for both. Weather permitting I carry a full size SA 1911 .45 with 2 Wilson 8 shot mags in a IWB holster. If I'm dressing light it's a S&W model 36. This is my go anytime/anywhere gun as I carry it IWB also and it takes a matter of 3 seconds to slip it in my waistband versus...

One gun? Have to be my Springfield 1911 full size. Been shooting the .45's for 30 years and have total faith in the round and pistol. Sure it's been brought up in the forum before but if by way of bad luck your carry gun is taken away most of the younger generation is used to DA first shot...

Nickle 586 Hello all. Have a 2.5" 686 and a 4" 586 in nickle. Don't see many of the nickles around. Gotta say these two pistols are the best shooting revolvers that I own. Had the trigger smoothed out on the 586 and will put it up against a Python any day of the week for accuracy and...

Alaskan Bear Gun Was stationed on both Kodiak and Sitka Islands with the Coast Guard in the mid 80's and early 90's. Very good buddy of mine (deceased) was a Trooper/Fish Cop. We both hunted with TC Contenders 30-30's but carried 870's with sights for protection. Loaded the first 3 with...

HBE Holster Have a semi custom SA 5" 1911. I'm a whopping 165 lbs at 5'7"'s. Try a HBE Leatherworks COM III IWB. Conceals so well that a 3 LEO's that I know could not spot it underneath Harley Davidson size L t shirts. Just wore the rig for a total of 1700 miles on 2 seperate days driving...

HBE COM III Tried a few different holsters for my SA 1911 5". (Galco SOB, Bianchi Pancake). If you want a GREAT holster that conceals well and is comfortable all day buy a HBE Leatherworks COM III IWB from Eric Larson. My LEO daughter and husband had no idea I was packing a full size 1911...

HBE COM III Eric comes though!! I would like to thank Eric for making good on his word and delivering my COM III 2 weeks ahead of schedule. Tried it out today and the holster is the cats meow for carrying my SA1911. Looks Great, Feels Great and my LEO daughter and hubby could not tell I was...
