Re: Sig P238 carry?

I use the IWB Sof-Tuck by Desantis. At a 2:00 position, it fits up against my body and hides the bulk of the handle profile. I can wear dress shirts tucked in around it and also untucked shirts and it is hidden well. http://www.desantisholster.com/store/SEARCH-BY-GUN-MANUFACTURER/SIG-SAUER/P238-P238...

Re: Worn Leather Hoslter Causes "Accidental" Discharge

Makes me cringe to think of using a leather holster with my glock. I've got a vinyl holster that has the trigger guard stitched in such a way that it could not fold into the trigger guard area unless it physically tore away to do so. I would trust it much more long-term than soft-leather. I had been...

Re: To chamber or not to chamber

I own a Sig P238. It needs to be cocked and locked to be of any use in an emergency. I am concerned though of leaving it that way 24/7/365 because of wear on the springs, dirt getting down in the hammer area, etc. Likewise, having to empty the chamber and reload the same round in the magazine seems ...

Re: Sig Day and a new Holster.....

No photos of mine personally. I have the P238 Rainbow. Mine looks just like the one on their site, so here is a link to their photos, which are very accurate representations of it. http://sigsauer.com/Products/ShowCatalogProductDetails.aspx?categoryid=67&productid=280" onclick="window....

Re: Plano officer shoots suspect trying to activate light

That is sad. Especially since the police department says they don't find fault with the design of the flashlight. Could have been worse for all of us though. It could have been a CHL that did this. We need to realize that if LEO's might use their firearm or tactical gear improperly despite their tra...

Re: Sig Day and a new Holster.....

I bought my Sig P238 a month or so ago. I put 150 rounds through it without any issues. However, feeding the first round in the magazine was hard. I found out that although my model was manufactured last year, they had come out with better recoil springs. So Sig sent me a new spring. The original sp...

Re: 3 weeks and TXDPS Status not changed???

Mine was just approved yesterday, and application and required materials received on 1/26. It took three weeks from 1/26 for the status to change to a processing status. It just takes some time.

Re: Is the verbal communication of having a gun illegal?

Good points. So in effect, stating "I have a gun" to try and de-escalate, actually escalates the situation further to a point where I actually become the illegal instigator of an altercation. Very informative. Thanks!

Is the verbal communication of having a gun illegal?

I'm new to both carrying and CHL, and will have my CHL within I hope a few days since the site says it is finished. Does anyone know if it is illegal to tell someone who is threatening you that you have a gun? People threaten other people with words all the time. Even if you have a CHL, it didn't se...
