I had been wanting to add a 1911 in 9mm to my fleet. I have also been intrigued by Armscor's 22TCM cartridge. So I killed 2 birds with 1 stone and purchased this RIA Rock Ultra FS 1911 22TCM/9mm Combo.
The pistol is full-size 5". The rear sight is an LPA brand, fully click-adjustable for...
I wear my 686 plus 3" OWB at 3:00, which is not quite as far forward as you. I have two pancake holsters that I use, although both have a forward cant. You may be able to specify vertical drop if you ordered from these companies, which you would probably need if you are wearing at 2:00.
First...
Just received this new Wright Predator holster for my S&W 686 Plus 3" Talo Edition after a 10-week wait. It has the "Master Collection" upgrade with a double layer of full grain leather on the inside as well as the outside. First impressions: This holster is a leather work of art. Beautifully...
UPDATE FOR GRIPS AND HOLSTER!!
I am the OP.My intent when I purchased this gun was mainly for range use and to fondle and look at, but also for limited CCW. To that end I purchased a Lobo Gun Leather Enhanced Pancake Holster, and installed the Altamont Rosewood Boot Grips as pictured in the...
Just received this new holster I ordered from Blackpoint Tactical for my Sig P320 Compact. I wore it CCW today for the first time and thought I would share my observations.
This is the Leather Wing holster, which seems to combine the best features of both leather and kydex. The shell is kydex...
Just picked this up yesterday from my FFL. It is a S&W 686 Plus (7-round) L-Frame .357 Magnum 3" Barrel Talo Edition. I can offer no rational justification for this purchase other than I just wanted it. My collection has been getting boringly repetitious, all semi-autos of various brands and...
I wanted to add a P-series Sig to my collection, and I chose this P225-A1 Classic as my first P-series (definitely won't be my last). It is a single-stack (8+1) 9mm DA/SA with decocker. I was also considering a M11-A1 or a Legion P229, but my high cap carry needs are already covered by other...
I am the OP. I wanted to find out officially what the "W" and the "PRE" stood for in the model designation for my gun, so I reached out to SIG Customer Service. According to the rep I spoke with the "W" prefix means that it was a LE order, the "PRE" designation stands for "Pre-tensioned Slide &...
I like to watch Hickock 45's videos because I like to daydream about having a range like that in my own back yard. He is a bit long-winded, though. Those 22 minute videos could easily be reduced to 10 minutes or less without leaving out any important information.
This is a new addition to my fleet: Sig P320 Compact 9mm.
I purchased this gun from my LGS for $566.00. It has a unique model designation: W320C-9-BSS-PRE. The owner of my LGS said it was part of an over-run for a large LE order. The invoice says "L.E. Tolerance", whatever that means. The only...
Although not often, I sometimes choose to CCW one of my full-size pistols, outside of my regular daily (Glock 19, Kahr K9, Shield .45, etc.) rotation. As we know, it can be a challenge to find a good holster that will conceal a large gun properly and comfortably. I believe I have found the ideal...
I am the OP. The shape of the grip is the same on the Shield 9/40 and Shield 45. The grip on the 45 is slightly larger, however.
Regarding holsters, if you look at the photos in my OP, the second holster pictured, the Lobo Gun Leather OWB pancake was originally made for my Shield 9, but it...
I just picked up my new Shield 45 from my FFL last week. I bought it as a companion to my Shield 9 Performance Center. I really like my Shield 9 and I shoot it very well, so I expected the same from the Shield 45 and I was not disappointed!
This is a really sweet gun. Slightly larger in all...
Around 3 inches, give or take. That's a "small" group for me, given my 66-year-old eyes...
If I really wanted to get tighter groups, I'd have to use a scope instead of a red dot or the BUIS. The gun is much more accurate than I am. I really just shoot it for fun. I wish I had property (or a...
