    Thumbreak or No Thumbreak?

    I only have one holster with a thumb Break, a Bianchi, spring clip to hold it to the belt. It is a very strong spring wire. I used it for a while when I first got it to carry, and it was easier to put it on and off. When I ride my motorcycle I feel better with it keeping my pistol where it...

    The discussion that happens at least once a week at work

    I carried a Colt Commander as an LEO for fifteen Years on duty and off. When I switched to a Communications Supervisor, I switched to a Glock G-23. I liked the weight, and everything else. I carried it on duty and off for another five years till I retired. After that, I continued to carry it for...

    My M9 “journey”

    When I worked security in FL, we were issued a Beretta 92-FS. Mine was used but in good shape, after I gave it a good cleaning. We went to the range once a month for a whole day. Lots of shooting the Beretta, and an AR-15. Had a lot of fun, burning up free ammo. I bought a new M9 for 450, to...

    What did you carry today?

    Well, today took Mom to Doctor and carried RIA, compact. Nice pistol with 11 rounds of 45ACP. Lots of hurt if needed. I do not have any problems changing from 9mm, to 40cal, to 45. I shoot and practice with all three, and have no problems with it. If I did I would be back to the 40 all day...

    Two revolvers

    That sounds like me. I remember having several, well a bunch that I sold or traded, that I wish I still had. You just don't know how much you will want them back at a later date. I wish I had them all back, and a big Vault to keep them in. I almost bought a Savings & Loan Office one time to...

    Businesses That Do NOT Support Firearms Carry

    I was traveling from Houston TX, on I-12 about halfway across Louisanna, when I encountered a major Parking lot traffic had stopped. Just ahead was an exit, so I ran the shoulder about 50 yards and got off. I followed the signs to a little place advertising Best Cajun Food in The South. I got in...

    First Time LEO Qualifying Thursday...

    I carried a Colt Commander on duty and off for fifteen years as an LEO. When I moved to another state, they did not accept my LE certification. I went to work as a dispatcher and started carrying a G-23, a lot lighter. I also liked the 40 round. I stayed there for five years. I still carry that...

    ? For R.I.A. owners

    I am on my fourth Rock and think they are a great 1911 pistol. I started with a GI and made a competition pistol out of it. It ran great with any rounds I put in it. Next was the first RIA Tactical model, and it ran just fine with everything, including an old box of Winchester Silver tips. Next...

    Belt recommendation

    I recently bought two belts from Yoder Leather Co. One Black, and a Dark Brown. to match my Boots. they are 1 1/2" and plenty thick to support my 1911. It is listed as a tool belt and has white stitching. It looks nice as a dress belt or just with jeans. It has Chicago Screws to change Buckles.

    Businesses That Do NOT Support Firearms Carry

    If they don't want me carrying in their place of business. They don't want my business. Or I probably will just go in anyway. It's concealed for a reason. The assisted living facility where my Mother lives don't have any postings. They like someone like me being in there. The one where she lived...

    Carry a Knife for Personal Defense; When will you Use it?

    Every once in a while my wife will come to me and ask do you have your knife? My answer is do I have my pants on? Then I have my knife. Just recently she has changed to Honey can I borrow your knife. She used to get upset when I would ask what she wanted to cut. I carry a smaller Schrade Uncle...
