Center Consoles ScottsGT said rt dreamer, How does your IWB rig work while sitting down, like driving a car? I too sometimes carry a Colt Officers ACP using a Milt Sparks Summer Special II, and I have had the muzzle start to irritate me after an hour of setting in the car since my "wide load...

It's all about support Ok, here's my $0.02. I'm a big guy (5'11", 330lbs, 56L Jacket, 50 waist). I carry a 1911 Officer's size strong side, IWB Tuckable everyday for 10-12 hours. I've carried a Commander size 1911 all day as well in the same rig. I've tried shoulder holsters (Galco...

Some great advice thanks for the advice so far. She's had the surgery a long time ago and what strength she has is all she'll get. We tried the hold left, push right technique on both autos... no go. Rick

Took the wife to the range Saturday. All went pretty well except we discovered that she can't rack the slide on any of my semi-auto handguns. She's had surgery on her left hand and so can't grip the slide with enough force to pull it back. At this point, a revolver looks like the answer for...
