If you are willing to spend a buck, the Rosen Workman is pretty much the original tuckable, and was specifically designed around the J Frame.

Can't speak specifically to the Fobus, but I have carried for several years in kydex from Blade-Tech and Comp-Tac. My simple solution is to always wear a t-shirt or "wife beater" under whatever shirt I use to cover the gun. Never a problem that wasn't the same I faced with many years of carrying...

I miss my 642 with Spegel boot grips more than any other handgun I have owned, and that is a bunch. I carried the revolver in a Kramer pocket holster in one pocket of my shorts, and two Bianchi speed strips in the other or a watch pocket, and it was great all summer long. I may have to pick up...

A serious issue involving the comparison of Spetznaz v Green Beret is the role of the unit. I worked with a former Green Beret. While they are superb soldiers in their own right, the real mission of our Green Beret's is to train and direct indigenous guerilla forces to operate as partisans in...

My department had a brief foray into pistol caliber carbines a few years ago. We were issued Beretta 92FS 9mm pistols, and decided to try the Beretta Storm carbines. Nice shooters, looked kind of cool. After a mag or two to familiarize, several of us spent an hour or so on our indoor range...

I have yet to see any factory two tone MP's, but I would sure like to.

Sorry, can't see any parallel whatsoever. Our constitution enumerates what our founding fathers considered to be rights that all men are born with. The second amendment ensures that our God given right to defend ourselves against predators, both human and animal, (and especially governmental...

Very nice pistol. Like the ASP 9mm, the Devel conversions and others, this little .45 you had made is what Smith probably should have done in the first place. I like it!

There's never a wrong time to do the right thing. Get that permit and carry as you choose.

My issued MP9 and personal MP9c I miss my 3913NL (Ladysmith frame style without the ladysmith markings), my model 39-2 factory nickel, and my Stocking Dealers model 457, factory "reverse" two tone.

Great review! I have tried Tru-grip grit tape on my PD issued MP9, and found it wanting. I bought a "sharkskin" textured grip insert from Dan Burwell, and liked it very much. It is very secure in the hand without being abrasive to my hand or my shirts, either in my duty holster or IWB. I went...

Like others have stated, I have been carrying concealed when off duty for about 23 years. Almost always carried IWB, and have had no trouble, always using a good quality holster. If you use the soft, nylon holsters with metal clips and no retention method, then you will probably have a failure...

Please count me in! Thanks

I was, until recently, a sgt. with the Springdale Ohio PD. I chose to take a demotion to the rank of police officer for a variety of personal reasons, but I am proud of the 10 yrs I spent as a sergeant/shift supervisor, so I shall remain sargespd on the forums I frequent.

That sir, is a fine looking firearm. I would agree with you on the ivory. Slightly aged ivory with perhaps some scrimshaw with some personal significance? That would be the crowning touch to a beautiful pistol.
