Lined Hank Sloan for a 4” M28 and a Speed Strip pouch.

You don’t need to be an armorer to remain compliant with TCOLE rules. The Texas Administrative Code 218.9 states: b) The annual firearms proficiency requirements shall include: (1) an external inspection by the proficiency officer, range officer, firearms instructor, or gunsmith to determine...

Some awfully unique (and downright goofy) trains of thought in this thread. We have periodic burglary sprees where the thieves look for unlocked vehicles and take any cash and firearms they can lay their hands on. Well under half of the victims can provide a serial number for us to enter into...

Very nice set. Here’s mine for a SIG P226/P320.

A few photos that I’ve saved over the years.

Here are photos with the guns inserted.

I found these two carved holsters at an area swap meet and was most surprised to see the Myres Sweetwater stamp. A guy named David Duclos resurrected the Myres name then spectacularly flamed out in the early 2000s. Facebook posts and other forums are full of tales of money paid for rigs that...

After a lot of searching and a few failed Gunbroker bids I finally own a 4” Heavy Duty. This one turned up at Tyler Gunworks in the Panhandle after being purchased from an estate in Shreveport, Louisiana. It’s made it full circle and is 45 minutes from the last owner. It shipped in June 1952...

I’m in, thank you

LSP issued a 4” 66/2 1/2” 66 combo in the late ‘70s that became a 4” 686/2 1/2” 66 in the ‘80s. The pilot program of personal purchase semiautos turned into a choice of a SIG P220 .45 or P228 9mm. Re: the trade-in 66s, a friend worked for the Madison Heights, Michigan PD in the ‘70s. He said...

Thank you. The leather was made by inmate David McKay, while Vu Nguyen did the buckle set.

I ordered this set from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice craft shops shortly before Covid hit. Due to various shutdowns it took almost 18 months for delivery. The pancake holster is cut for my P320 9mm but also fits my P226. The double magpouch sits a little low for my preference, and...

The SP2022 is a steal at $350. Magazine prices are still higher than I'd like, but availability is generally good. The trigger is often better than the aluminum framed P226/P228/P229 pistols. Bruce Gray at Gray Guns has carried a .357 SIG version as his duty gun as a reserve officer; that's...

The markings are unfortunate. STOP is still a program run out of Johnson County and formed from an earlier multiagency drug taskforce. I can’t imagine why they’d engrave the address into it, but it has all the earmarks of an evidence gun that was forfeited to the agency. My SO auctions off...
