1. With a quality rig, no. But I've been wearing one on and off for 33 years. You tend to get what you pay for, so a $15 rig from the gun show might be less comfortable than a $75 holster from a major maker. 2. A properly fitted ankle holster will ride low and not move around much. 3. Rarely...

I'd be proud to display that gun. I'd also shoot the stink out of it! :) Nice find and I'm glad you're giving it some love. My son will get my work guns and my son in law will get a few of the others.

I'll take the mags if they are still available. :)

Just think about where the muzzle is pointing during an 'inside waistband appendix' carry........:( I have a couple of crossdraw holsters I use when I'm on the riding mower or working in the yard. They work very well for my 4" K frame or my Glock 26.......:) A light shirt covers them ok if I...

Congrats on getting to the range to practice!! I shot my first competitive match over 40 years ago, have carried a handgun professionally since 1981, and spent 17 years on SWAT and I'm STILL a student of the handgun. Every time I go to the range, I learn something new. Get a good grip, line...

Monday bump. Model 64 is sold.........:)

Shot a gazillion rounds of 148 grain hollow based wadcutters through one just like it. PPC matches are not as common since US LEO transitioned to semi autos, but there is still a following. It's a specialized piece, for sure, but with the right ammo, it'll shoot! My last one, with the...

The older I get, the more I embrace my inner nerd......:)

I just ordered an Apex kit for my soon to be delivered M&P9 2.0 Compact. I can't wait to get it all put together and on the range. PLUS, it's very impressive that Randy from Apex is not only a member here, but actually takes the time to address issues and concerns from his customers. That's...

Friday morning bump........

My guns, like my pickup, get used as designed. They are also meticulously maintained. I've carried a gun for a living for 32 years. Mine is shot a LOT and has thousands of reps in and out of the holster. Does it show some wear? Yep. Can I count on it. You bet! A little wear shows some...

Congratulations! Going to work happy makes a big difference at home too! Stay safe and enjoy the new gig.........:)

No B27's at the range, so I had to use what we had. The blue oval measures 4"X2 1/8". M&P 9L, Speer Gold Dots....... :)

Iron Bowl bump. WDE! :)

Before semi autos took over, my agency (625 sworn officers) approved revolvers .38 caliber and larger with at least a 4" barrel. Pretty liberal guidelines, so we had a handful that carried Model 29's, mostly with standard .44 Special loads. Our issue at the time was a 4" Model 19. Then came the...
