    Need Deep(er) Pockets

    Carhartt dungree style work well but not with every holster. I see in your photo that you have a Mika holster. For me that has to much material at the bottom of the holster. This raises the 642 about 1/2 inch (maybe a little more) from the bottom of the pocket. The leather holster shown will...

    Holster for M&P45 with XC1-B light.

    I am trying to find an outside the waistband holster for a M&P45 that has the Surefire XC1-B weapon light attached. If you know a maker that has this combination and can make a recommendation, I would appreciate it. Thank you.

    329 PD As Last Resort Alaska Bear Defense

    Since many suggestions have been made, let me add as an FYI that Stephen Herrero wrote in his book, Bear Attacks (Their Causes and Avoidances) that he will not venture into grizzly bear country unless he can carry a rifle. It is a good read. He has a very health respect for black bears as well...

    Pulled over while carrying on out of state permit

    PAAG Your states Attorney General website has a Reciprocity segment on the front page of their website. Very clear information but more importantly, it is authoritative so you can depend on it. Check the link above and then see Firearm Reciprocity Agreements. Ohio is not a reciprocity state...

    Bib Overall carry

    I too carry a j-frame in the front pocket but, all of my overalls allow my j-frame to stick out the top. I need to change brands. The Bianchi Bellyband works OK inside a pair of bibs, I tend to not button them up all the way for better access. But you have to wear a tee shirt and unders for...

    J frame pancake or OWB for concealed carry

    I use the Simply Rugged and it works fine. Sits a little low. My next J-Frame holster will be from R. Grizzle, the High Country holster. I have this for my S&W autos and find it the best belt holster for me. It is high and fits close for a Shield and M&P 9C size, it is almost as concealable as...

    Pocket gun recoil issues

    I prefer a 9mm Shield vs a 442 for recoil. Seems spread out better. I carry a 442 much better however. It fits many more pockets. I am 60 and love dressing in baggy old man pants. Have zero concern with looking nice! Baggy pants with big pockets that allow a larger pocket gun is my advice...

    S&W 625-6 question

    Thank you for your replies. I really like 625 in 45acp. The 4 inch barrel is very well balanced. If these did not cost money I would have more!!!

    S&W 625-6 question

    I also own a Mountain Gun and this is not one...I think. Does your 625-6 Mt Gun have the beveled cylinder? The barrel has not been polished. The barrel has roll marked or stamped markings on both sides. Left is .45 ACP, right shows Smith & Wesson. The serial number is a CFA series but I do...

    S&W 625-6 question

    Hello, I have the opportunity to buy a 625-6 in 45ACP. It has no-lock but does have MIM parts and in frame firing pin. My question is about the barrel. It has a 4 inch barrel that is the same thin tapered barrel as on Mountain Guns. This one does not say Mountain Gun and does not have the...
