Re: Houston Police Officers and Gun shows
Why is HPD now not allowed from enforcing "house rules" but Harris county sheriff allowed?

Re: More of My Thoughts On Where We Are Headed

Re: OWB 1911 Commander Holster
I use a belt slide holster. I have to unholster and holster several times a day. That type holster allows me to not have to remove my holster just my weapon.

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?
During my time in the military, I was assigned to the !st Special Operations Squadron based at Clark AB in the Phillipines. The commander had everyone pick a nickname and we had patches with that name put on our BDU's as our name. My nickname was Gilligan.

Jak slide holster experience
Anybody have experience with the Jak belt slide holster? I am considering it for my 1911 commander. I work with children, in their homes, on the floor most times. I cannot take off my holster in the house and will take it off in the car and put it in my briefcase (holstered) and walk up to the house...

Re: carry condition one and magazine spring life
As a follow up, I have had to unload about three times since this original post ( holster shopping at various stores ) and I have noticed bullet setback even though I replaced those top rounds in my magazine. What could be causing that. The bullet set back is enough that I can measure about 1-1.5 mm...

Re: Veterans What was your best assignment/duty?

I understand to keep the magazines loaded to ensure spring life but i unload every night from condition one to put my gun in my bedside safe ( i have several small children). Does the unloadin...
