Uncle Mikes Holsters
Recently I have taken the time to purchase all Galco carry pieces for my Colt 1911 carry gun Holsters and also more leather Holster for the High Power….let me tell you, there is a WORLD of difference between Fobus/Uncle Mikes type stuff and Galco/Mitch Rosen/SafariLand type stuff.
You absolutely cannot afford to buy cheap leather/kydex for a carry piece any more than you can afford to put a Simmons scope and 12 dollar weaver mounts on a Steyr PSG….and expect decent results anyhow.
I’ve had 2 and love them. I had one for my Sigma and it didn’t hold it well but it did hold it. My Uncle Mikes Holsters Glock 22 locks into mine and will stay in through just about cowboy holster. Only problem with them is that they can be two hard to get off my Tactical holster. Not really that big of a deal.
I got news, don’t like cheap stuff, fine, don’t buy it. That Video is BS, because those two are obviously trying to break that holster. I suspect I could do somehting similar with most any brand of paddle concealment holster out there. Paddle holsters are about convenience, not ultimate security, if you want 100% security, buy an UM pro-3. Personally, I own a Fobus for almost every pistol holster I own, and just placed an order for 3 more. I have been Using Fobus since they came out, weekley, for IPSC and 3gun competitions, and have abused the heck out of them with ZERO problems. About a year ago, at a 3gun match, I fell during a stage. I was wearing a Fobus C21 1911 paddle Uncle Mikes Holster. I fell hard, directly on the Handgun Holster, with the rear sight of my pistol digging into a barricade. The concealment holster was strong enough that it ripped my jeans and flipped me over as I fell without breaking.
FObus haters are Just like Wolf Haters, they cannot be reasoned with or dissuaded. They feel if you didn’t spend as much money as possible or at least much as they did, then you are inferior as a human being. It’s your money, spend it however you like.

Leather Holsters
Go to your local auto parts store and purchase a bottle of Lexol leather conditioner (16 oz. ~ $10). I’ve used this for years on everything from car seat leather, baseball gloves, leather belts, leather jackets, shoes and yes leather holsters. It really works magic on leather, making the leather feel broken-in and gun holsters.
O NOT use anything on your holster unless it’s recommended by the maker otherwise you’ll wind up with a useless piece of leather. Wrap the unloaded gun in a plastic baggie or wax paper (wax side out) and leave it overnight, if still tight leave it in for another 4-6 hours. You can also just sit in front of the TV and just draw your weapon in/out till it loosens up. Just make absolutely sur that the gun is unloaded and keep the ammo/mag in another room if other folks/kids are around.

Pistol Magazines
Most of my shooting Pistol Magazines have been with Glocks. Though I love them, I’m living in Washington now, so I’d like something I can just go up some dirt road and let a few rounds go.
Its just a plinking gun, so cheap ammo is a plus. If I do go with the Pistol Magazine, I’ll probably pick up the Tac65 suppressor to go with it.
Any reason I shouldn’t get one?
Any recommendations on where to order?(not interested in the package with the suppressor, I’ll be picking up the suppressor a little later)
Good recommendations on ammo? I hear the CCI High Velocity work well, and are cheap.
Is getting the laser worth it? Can it be seen during the day?

AK-47
You might think of the standard/short buttstock as an "entry" style stock, while the "NATO" stock is more like that of an ak-47 (still short, but not so much so).

Glock Magazines
I was recertifying as a Glock Magazines armorer today. The regional LE rep and the instructor were discussing the 4th Generation pistols with interchangeable palmswells, I assume similar to XDM or M&P. One was saying to the other that the Feds and DevGRU had samples.
I have no other information. I was in a hurry after class, but I’m going to call the LE regional rep back this week. If I heard correctly I’m going to hold off on any more Glock Magazine purchases (whatever; I have like 9).
UPDATE:
Just got off the phone with him.
He said that the Navy placed the bid but have loaned HRT some samples. There are about 80 in existance. The bid called for a modular grip (not palmswells) and a new highly aggressive stippling to be used in maritime conditions or worn with Glock Magazine. I asked if this new gun was going to be release to the public and/or LE. He would not commit.
So in other words, something’s cooking. What or when exactly? Who knows.

AR-15 Accessories and Parts
f you are on a budget, buy a stripped lower receiver from an AR-15 Accessories FFL near you (if you pay less than $200 OTD you are probably doing OK these days). Then order a complete kit of your choice from Model 1 Sales, J&T etc. for around $5-600. You can assemble the rifle yourself with simple hand tools (screwdriver, hammer and a few punches) in an hour or so. Don’t believe the Colt/Bushmaster/Armalite snobs… the rifle you build will be just as functional as any other. I built my 3-gun rifle this way, and it is still flawlessly reliable and AR15 tack-driving accurate after 8 years of rough match use !

Magpul
went shooting today at Hernando Sportsman in Brooksville, FL. Chris Costa who runs the training division from MagPul was in the lane next to me. He had a couple of tricked out SBR’s one MagPul lower, the other on a KAC platform, and .308 with a can. His kids were with him and he was teaching them to shoot. They looked like they were about 10 and had no problem hitting a 12"x14" steel plate at 100 yrds.

Springfield xd magazines
I bought mine from Springfield xd magazines. I got the dark earth gun and no one had them in stock with the matching x-tension. I could find the black ones all day. From what i remember buying them from SA wasn’t that much more than any place else. I didn’t think 37 dollars (Springfield xd magazine) was to unreasonable. If I wasn’t so picky about how the gun looked I would bought the mags without the x-tension piece. 11.00 dollars for that little piece of rubbery plastic is a bit much. I just checked Midway’s web site, they are only 1 dollar cheaper than SA.

kpel308,
Got any salt?
The Fobus HK1 for my USPc .45 doesn’t hold the gun securely. Every other Fobus I’ve used held the gun positively against negative G; IOW, if you fell on your back, etc, the gun would stay put. A determined tug was necessary to release it.
Not this one; you can now ease the gun out with two fingers on the butt. Obviously, that’s a no-go. The first few days it was fine; perhaps something is wrong with it, after a couple of hundred presentations. Oh, well…
I ordered a Kramer this afternoon.
BTW, I’ve been toting for 28 years; 226 days till retirement. I’ve come full circle: from using "common" Leather Holsters as a rookie, to discovering custom stuff, then the Fobus, and now back to custom.
And THAT Pistol Magazine about the best summation of the situation I’ve ever read. Good post, Barry.
I realize I’m digging up a corpse that is better left buried, but all the "experts" on these boards just wear me out at times. I’ve carried a G19 in a Fobus GL2 professionally for over seven years. I’ve snagged it on door cowboy holster, car doors, etc., numerous times; it is still quite serviceable, thank you.

AK-47
I have a Kvar set with the standard length that I am getting ready to install. It appears to be good quality, but the standard/short stock is really short. It was designed for smaller people who may be wearing heavy coats and AK-47 (think Chicom style chest rigs).

Ethan Nadelmann at CBS News - the founder and executive director of the Drug Policy Alliance gives a bunch of good reasons for legalizing cannabis hemp. He says the reason it was made illegal can’t be found. I guess he hasn’t followed the money. He’s right of course, marijuana should be available in bulk in the health food store for a few dollars an ounce. Obviously.

The Afghanistan Security Solution (Long-Term): AFPAK Border Security Fence Needed, Not More U.S. Troops
By Mike Sparks April 29, 2009 “Geographically speaking, Afghanistan is ungovernable. It’s a recipe for a failed state” – Defeatist statement from Peter Zeihan of STRATFOR The April 2009 Armed Forces Journal (AFJ) on page 18 reports we are going to spend more than last year’s $36.5 BILLION occupying Afghanistan with 34,000 U.S. troops in 2008, yet Taliban violence […]
Thomas L. Knapp at The Center for a Stateless Society - Mr. Knapp implores the frogs to jump out of the pot, before it boils us alive. With a Prodhoun quote that I’ll post separately.
Thirty years ago, we’d have laughed at the suggestion that government-issued ID and entry in a government database might one day be required to purchase “over-the-counter medicines” like pseudoephedrine.
Only a little more than a hundred years ago, morphine was an “over-the-counter” medicine.
Two hundred years ago, the idea of requiring doctors to be licensed by the state was unheard of and would have been rejected as alien to basic American principles of government.

HEARING PROTECTION
What is the difference between the PRO EARS and other brands of protection/amplification?
PRO EARS workmanship, technology and electronics are far superior to any other models currently being offered. While others are just now offering circuitry that is, at best, inferior to our original and outdated ‘LE’ models, we have advanced the electronics in our DIMENSION HEARING PROTECTION and Predator Series in a multitude of ways.
