How private do you keep your CHL status?

Hi guys My job requires me to verify IDs before releasing personal information to customers. In the last few weeks, I've had quite a few people hand over their drivers license AND their CHL. I'm happy to see so many people with a CHL, but I'm surprised that many people don't keep it as private as I ...

Re: Most comfortable position full size 1911 inside pants ??

4 o'clock IWB. For me, comfort is linked more to the holster itself than the position I wear it. You may want to try different holsters as well, before you settle on a final spot.

Re: How do YOU check your gun's reliability?

Thanks for the quick replies. yerasimos - thanks for the link. I've got an M&P.45 and a HK P2000 that haven't had one hiccup in 500-600 rounds (each). I know I can count on those but would really like to carry the Kimber if I can root out the problem.

How do YOU check your gun's reliability?

Hey guys - had a question about how you guys check your guns for reliability. I've tried to put several hundred rounds through my handguns before I count on them for self defense, and I would guess most of you do the same. My question is how do you get to that mark? Do you do a couple sessions of 50...

Re: Houston Area Gunsmith

I've never lubricated it in the middle of a range session. I clean it every time I shoot it and I have tried various lubrication "levels" before the session. I've moved from my normal lube level to fairly "wet" recently without a noticeable reliability change. While most of the f...

Houston Area Gunsmith

Hey Guys - Ive been having Failure to Feed problems with my Kimber 1911. The round will make it about halfway into the chamber and get "stuck". Happens mostly at the end of a range session when the gun is fairly dirty, but I'd expect a 1911 to go way more than 2-300 rounds before that beco...

Re: IWB holster "migration"

Does it actually move, or just feel like it's moved? Upon further review it's a little of both. I checked the belt clips' position this morning and it's right in front of the seam of my shorts. At the end of the day the clip is a little behind the seam, but feels like it's moved much more. I may tr...

Re: Valero down the street, why I carry

I don't think I've seen a Valero with bulletproof glass around the registers before. Glad they had it. Let us know if you hear any updates.

1st Weekend Report / Wally Walk (pic heavy)

Guys - got my plastic on August 1st. Lots of requests for a Wally Walk report, so here we go... I have two handguns that I bought primarily for CHL, a HK P2000SK (.40) and a S&W MP.45. I have a CTAC holster for the HK and a MTAC holster for the MP.45, both worn around 4 o'clock. I've practiced m...

I had the same feeling. It's like leaving on a trip and wondering if you left something at home. If you used the checklist I'm sure you're fine...just a waiting game now.

Re: Online Application Question

Instead of a date in the to field I would use "present," that's what I used and I didn't have any hang-ups. Unfortunately they aren't going to be looking at your application for a little while and might wonder where you've been since July. *edit* just noticed you did it online. If allowed ...

IWB holster "migration"

Guys - just got my CHL today and ran a few errands. I practiced around the house with my MP .45 IWB at about 4 o'clock in a MTAC holster. That seemed to be the most comfortable and concealable spot for me. Out in the real world though, with a lot more walking around the holster moves slowly towards ...
