I really like my Kytek OWB mag holder for my Shield. Very minimal design and holds very good.

My first duty pistol was a Colt Python 4" Nickel, wish I still had it. I always carried my personal duty gun and there were many. My favorite is a Colt DE SS that I received as a BD present from my wife and our Reserve Deputy corp. That was in 1989. I had a gun shop on the side and sold the 10mm...

I agree, especially about the "red triangle" :)

Does anyone have any information on this sear? I was wondering what M&P it originally went in.

I still have my Colt Delta Elite SS that I carried on duty from 1989 until late 1999. I then went into a plain clothes assignment and decided I needed something lighter so I started carrying my wife's old duty sidearm, a S&W Model 39-2. I retired from LE in 2005 and went into another line of...

Upon checking further, Alabama makes it pretty easy to get your LEOSA annual firearms qualification card so that looks like the route we will go. You sumbit a request online with documentation, they assign a location for you to report to and you qualify and good to go. There is a small fee but...

Tried it, not for me. I carry IWB at 4 when off duty.

What was the solution ?

My wife has said for years they need to make a Hoppes #9 scented after shave.

I traded my 3913 out for a Shield 45 carried in a fobus paddle holster with an under shirt and cover shirt. My badge is right in front of my holster. I never carry openly except of course while on duty.

I just got my Shield 45 on Monday. My wife and I went out to the S.O. Range and put 300 rds through it. I really like it, a lot. I do not find the grips too harsh, in fact I really like the control they provide while maintaining a narrow profile. On the subject of ammo, I put 200 rds of American...

This is my favorite Marty Robbins album that I have.

I agree! :D
