Hmmmm, I know the Glock 22 won't fit in the fairing pocket, maybe the Glock 23 will. :smile: AFTER I get my CHL.
Before I sold mine we had just got the "intercom." It allowed the wife to scream at me about my driving and now one else able to hear.

New here. I like the info presented.
Age: 50 something
Married Male
2 years TX CHL holder and before that had one for 3 year in Oregon.
Carry: 1911 Kimber Ultra CDP II with IWB
Currently Willfully between employment

I like to shoot and ride my H-D Motorcycles.

I like 1911's because they are like my Harley's, simple, easy to work on and easy to add custom parts to them.

Everybody shoot safe and stay safe.

Guns and Motorcycles are a natural!

:iagree: but although goldwings are nice bikes I will stick to my sportbikes it is too hard to go around a corner at 140mph on a goldwing :cool:
It is easier to get an airport security clearance than a CHL

Ya'll seem like a friendly bunch! :grin:

Age: 53
Gender: male
Profession: IT
Marital status: single, no kids
Years CHL: 0

Sent in my app Dec. 19, got my PIN 1st week of Feb, as of today "still processing." :???:

I've been shooting all my life. Thought about getting a license ever since they've been available in TX. All the vagueness about "travelling" etc. made me decide to just get the CHL and not worry about it.

Carry guns/equipment:

I've been shooting Glock pistols for years and currently have a 17, 19 and 27. Don't know what I'll wind up carrying. Even the 27 seems a little awkward to conceal! Still undecided at this time.

Welcome Mike! I look forward to learning from your shooting experience.

I like a man with good taste in firearms :grin: Your Glock 27 is a wonderful gun for concealed carry.....thought by many to be one of the best. Actually, all of the Glock models that you own can be concealed...the 17 takes a little more effort, but it can definitely be worked into a gun that is carried everyday without being miserable.

You will find people here that live the lifestyle of concealed carry and have put a great deal of time, money, and attention into what they find comfortable and/or comforting.

I would be happy to recommend some holsters if you are looking for ideas. I would be happy to let you try any of mine if you are ever in my neck of the woods. Have a great evening and again, Welcome!

I am so remiss in welcoming everyone. I used to try to get to this Topic regularly. :oops:

At least I can say welcome everyone! :grin:
