    New holster drawing issues

    My 2 cents - I would get a different holster because that is the weak link (which is also easier to replace), but if you want to "fix" the first one, try this: Wrap your 1911 in saran wrap. Brush some rubbing alcohol over the area around the front sight on the holster. Wet the front sight...

    Best strong-side OWB option for a 5" 1911?

    I like the barrier on close fitting holsters because it helps keep my shirt clear when I'm reholstering, and it is much more comfortable for longer periods of time if you have a little extra around the middle.

    Best strong-side OWB option for a 5" 1911?

    If I were you I would give www.bluegrassholsters.com a try. Better quality than the Galco line, and cheaper too. Not to mention he is located right there in Louisville.

    what type of handgun design is better in .45?

    My HK45C has my vote. Excellent reliability, and very controllable (and I find the ergonomics very impressive, but that is fairly subjective). I can shoot 1911's pretty well, and I know several people who swear by them. Oddly, as much as they like them, I can't recall a single friend that owns a...

    Milt Sparks VM2 Break in

    You might try this: 1. Brush some Rubbing Alcohol on the loops, then spray them very lightly with water. 2. Snap the loops shut and thread your largest belt through them. 3. Remember those cheap wooden rulers that Wal-Mart has? Slide one inside the belt loop behind the belt (so you...

    someone recommend me a good .40 SW pistol

    I'll second the folks who recommended the USP or the P2000. They are designed around the .40, and it shows.

    Holster for S&W Model 39

    I make holsters specifically for the 39, but considering your price range and the wait time I would say a Don Hume holster is in order.

    Surefire and Fenix watch out: The Olight M20 Warrior is here

    Thanks, Double Naught Spy. That is the information I was looking for. I will probably give this light a try.

    Surefire and Fenix watch out: The Olight M20 Warrior is here

    Does it remember when you use the momentary switch, and cycle with a full "click", or is there some other way to set the mode?

    Surefire and Fenix watch out: The Olight M20 Warrior is here

    Can someone tell me how the different modes are set on this light? I like the option of having different modes in a self defense light, but most lights that feature several modes require hitting the tail cap multiple times to activate a specific function, or they require you to cycle through...

    Functional differences in various leathers?

    If your going on pure function, shark. That hide is so resistant to wear and abrasion you will wear the dye off of it before you wear the belt out, assuming you take care of it like any belt should be cared for.

    Functional differences in various leathers?

    Horsehide makes a great belt that will last a long time if you take care of it. Other than aesthetic purposes, the exotic hides offer more resistance to wear and abrasions. Elephant will resist scuffs and abrasions better than horsehide, and shark will have even more resistance than elephant.

    ACK! So many Choices! Need to CCW a CZ-75B

    I'll try my best to break it down for you simply, and you can determine what is the most important for you. The holsters I will refer to are all leather, though kydex holsters of similar construction will have many of the same qualities as far as concealment is concerned. OWB, or Belt holsters...

    M9 Molded Holster, will this gun fit?

    I don't think it will fit. The slide of the 945 is probably too wide for a 92 holster.

    I'm a horrible handgun shooter

    I completely agree. That pretty much sums up the book "Surgical Speed Shooting" by Andy Stanford (which is another good resource for improving your handgun shooting ability).

    I'm a horrible handgun shooter

    chute2thrill, I highly recommend "Shooting Missology" from Tactical Response Gear if you want to improve your handgun shooting. Myself and some friends of mine got a copy on someone's recommendation and I have noticed a remarkable improvement over everyone's shooting skills since watching this...

    holster for a 396ng

    Contact your favorite custom holster maker and tell them Duncan's has a few 396 NG molds left. After that, work out the details and get a quote, unless someone else knows who is stocking holsters for these revolvers right now.

    Seriously Considering Walther PPS as first handgun

    HMMM..... I will try to get some pics of a PPS against my Kahr TP9 if you think that might help in your decision making. I will do my best to make some time to do that tomorrow.

    Seriously Considering Walther PPS as first handgun

    I liked the PPS I handled and found it very accurate and easy to operate. It held its own shot for shot with my P7. I strongly considered buying one after selling my P7, but I went with a Kahr TP9 instead. The only reason was that the mag release on the PPS is too dissimilar to all my other...
