Given my short stubby fingers I like thin grips. Also I don't want a projected dot, I want a holographic sight. My Kimber has the Fastfire iii, 3 MOA dot and really easy to see on a target. I did research used slides and they are out there but pricey enough to not go that direction. I'm a casual...

First off, I know how the loilipop sight is made. 2nd, the thoughts I was having were toward buying a sight body and adapting (hacking away,yes)it to allow placement of a Burris/Bomar mount on it, thus allowing a red dot on top. The milling machine will never touch the slide on my S&W, only the...

I own this pistol and desire to mount a Burris Fastfire iii Red Dot Optic to the rear dovetail slot. Burris only offers the modern M&P mount. A company they send people to: AmerigunUSA - Custom Gunsmithing & Trijicon Sight/RMR Mount Specialists makes custom mounts which cost more than the sight...

Here's another bump.

Some years ago National Geographic did an article about the water rights division of land in the west dating back to Spanish times. A friend of one son is from NM and I was asking about the elk hunting on his families land. His Dad depends on the income for elk hunting as his day job is as a...

I took a look on ebay just now. There's a large cross-section of brands that way plus many to look at-15,000 actually. The ones I like best are sold by two sellers, both use the exact same pics and sell the exact same items, which are handmade, full-grain leather holsters. I used "1911 holster"...

Hapworth, yer obviously steps ahead of me in common sense. OK, I give up. Given the fact that I've never owned a holster made from anything except leather I just had this thought, stupid as it was, that maybe such a thing exists and was being made from fabric in some way. Honestly, I did get...

How does one do much hunting on 20 acres? Maybe rabbits or squirrels. A 20 acre plot has behind it a bevy of reasons that it IS a 20 acre plot. I suppose the most common reason is the modern so called developer who IMO "un-developes" a piece of land. In NE they have laws that are intended to...

Greg, gee, thanks for the brilliant deduction?:p Maybe Grandpa needs to stay in the house...:) I looked at kydex holsters and most all I see are holsters that are combat designs-silent thunder,etc.. I'm not going to the Middle East here- just a belt carry holster that's kind to my pistols...

If leather was the answer I'd make it. I got into leather when I went back to college @ age 30 in 1973. Living in a married housing trailer and unable to do my wood working it kept me sane and my hands busy. I did some craft shows back then over a several year period, have a bit of material...

I have a NIB/sealed set of Meprolight sights and having received no answers to my application questions from either Kimber or Meprolight-here goes: They are clearly marked for Kimber Solo pistols, # 11226, as shown in both the Kimber and Meprolight catalogs. I'm interested in selling them but...

Whenever? We live on land but truth be known there's more to life than the ownership of land. Do I appreciate the immense privacy and freedom to use this land, certainly! But there are other ways to spend ones time than looking for and buying land-that you don't really need? I would have a very...

I now have two all ALU pistols, a S&W 39-2 and a Kimber 1911 Black Target .22. Save me some time looking at holsters for in the woods, belt carry, not everyday carry. I would like to think there's a holster being made that will protect (as much as possible) the anodized finish in the typical...

My handgun bag came from ebay and is smaller cordura version of some seen above. I got it looking under "military bags" there and they sell around $10. Padded, durable, compartments,handles,etc.. Not surplus, newly made and commonly seen.
