Re: home made holster

Yes. They would stand out. Most makers use black for use with a black belt. Much less noticeable. I used black on my wife's leather iwb I made then realized I only had one black left and 2 chrome. Was on a roll so I went with it. My chl hasn't arrived yet so its only being worn around the house aft...

Too flashy? Easy enough to remove and replace, they were just what I had on hand.. I'm gonna replace the rivits with something a bit sturdier.

home made holster

I'm new to CC and don't know much about holsters. I've spent the last 2 months or so researching them. I do leather work and had a bit of thick leather scrap, so I went and got a sheet of kydex (first time using it) and made my own IWB hybrid holster. I hand formed the kydex, no book press or vacufo...

Re: Gas stations on Texas3006.com

I've posted this else where but there is an app called POSTED! And you can add friendly and non friendly businesses and such with photos and a map tag. May be helpful for those wanting both options.

Re: new guy from the austin area

Matt, I have a good friend who has his CHL who is also on a pump. He has tried a number of carry options and settled on two. 1. Pocket gun (works well for him as he always wears dress pants). 2. Ankle carry (compact Kahr .40). Don't know if that helps but he seems to be happy with it. Awesome, than...

Re: New to CHL and this forum, seeking quality knowledge.

i found a cool app called Posted! it shows where non friendly and friendly gun places. categorized by restaurant, entertainment, retail, and so forth. it also has a way for you to add locations on the spot and map them. seems pretty handy but im sure the data base could be bigger.
