New CHLer in DFW
Just wanted to say hi. Im new to the forum and just got my plastic a few days ago. I got a basic IWB holster for my G26, but have not carried yet. Need to buy go shopping this weekend to buy bigger pants/jeans to be a bit more comfortable carrying, and also a good belt. Anyways, just thought I said hi. Im in the Euless area, just south of the DFW Intl airport.

Great to have a new member on the forums. Invest wisely. Cheap usually does not mean "quality" by any means when it comes to belts and holsters.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on getting your plastic! The G26 is an excellent carry choice. I cary one with a Crossbreed Supertuck or a Tucker Gun Leather Compact Pancake. It depends on where I'm going and how much I intend to eat while I'm out as to which carry set up I go with.

Re: New CHLer in DFW
I decided to get a "buffet" (I like that desciption so much I'm going to use it from now on) holster after a trip one night to that Valley Ranch place @ 249 and Spring Cypress. I couldn't wait to get to the truck and remove my IWB rig that night. I ordered the OWB rig 5 days later.

I've gone thru 2 or 3 belts and 3 holsters...inexpensive wastes of money. Finally got a Galco "Cop" belt 1.5" and a DeSantis OWB holster...never been more pleased...even though I dropped $160. on both of these. Comfortable, secure, etc.

Congrats on your plastic (both CHL and G26!). Welcome to the board.
If you go to the UCP (User Control Panel), you can add "Euless" to your "hometown".
That way it will show up each time you post, and your nearby forum members will realize you're close.
Also on the UCP, you can set up a "signature" quote, up to 300 characters. You can post your gun there,
or whatever quote you'd like others to see. I change mine up pretty much every time I sign on, just to share
some song lyrics or various quotes from famous people.
