Camo is an excellent all-around attire, if you get dress shorts with cargo pockets, a "sticky MD2" works quite nicely, (I like mine) but I have 7 different styles of holsters so mornings are a little slo goin' for me:D Mine's with a safety, I've got maybe 600rnds thru' it and it's loosened up...

As penna shooter sez' plus a thought from me-- If you look at the assembled pistol from both sides, does the gap look uniform between the slide & lower ***'y? If so, pull the slide & look @ rails Then look @ (4)rail tabs on lower ***'y I know you mentioned re: sending it back, but they may...

I like it bulrid8, I usually opt for leather, but I recently got a serpa 25 for my 40cal for backpacking (open carry) as well as an "everyday holsters hybid" iwb (haven't tried it yet). My shield 40 conceals much better in a "sticky md2" or a "taugua iwb leather" At least on my frame (6'2"...

Update sv40ve break-in So, yesterday I ran another 200rnds (180gr Geco fmj) thru er. Again, a ftf halfway through. (me) the trigger is very smooth thru' bang, still 7.5 - 7.75#. When I mentioned that I lithium greased the trigger mechanism, I should mention I used auto chassis amber colored...

Hi all, I felt the need for a bigger brother to my 40shield, so I bought an sd40ve 2wks ago. I cleaned it, oiled it, then shot about 200rds thru it.(@ the range) (I was also shooting my shield, (manual safety)), maybe another 100rnds. The ve's trigger was slightly gritty, substantial travel...

For my m&p 40, I've bought: tagua leather, (2)different uncle mikes(a minimalist owb, a standard owb), a remora? pocket, a stickie md2 and a kestrel IWB kydex I carry @ 4o'clock with (1) exception. I've also carried iwb/no holster - they all work well, depending on what I'm wearing. For me...

I carry a Shield 40, have tried (4) different holsters, found just carrying in my waistband or cargo pocket is great. (front hip pocket always have junk in them) (I'm 6'2", 190#, 35" waist, for reference) greg

Hi all, I can't decide if I want to be mad yet, I enjoy all things mechanical, things that show decent design, stuff that I can disassemble/reassemble. My latest compulsion may, in fact, be things that go bang. It may have been renewed this summer with a Co Rockies camping/backpacking with my...
