Re: another dumb 1911 question

Got 4 Chip McCormick Shooting Stars 'cause they were on sale. Good purchase. Couple of hundred rds through them and no issues whatsoever. Carry the 1911 a good bit and always one extra mag.

Re: longview gun show

I went on Saturday and it WAS crowded. About 12 or so it started to thin out and it was almost bearable for a while. Lots of knives and a few guns. Schramm's was there and their prices on handguns were still better than those found on the 'net. AR's and AK's remain out of sight but did see a few buy...

Re: What's the proper way to load the +1?

Probably makes a lot of difference depending on the type of gun you are loading. XD's won't work with the adding one to the chamber routine. You have to rack one out of the mag and then top of the mag again. Just don't know about other brands.

Re: Is 37 days a record?

Congrats Morgan; now you can legally carry on the VTX. I was all set to brag about mine coming in today after only 51 days. Guess you bet me there. Bad Guys beware there are now at least two VTX riders who are carrying. It will be kinda nice and comforting as well to have the gun on me instead of lo...

Re: Holster security?

I ride a bike as well and wouldn't want a gun falling out of my holster either. Waiting on the plastic (about 4-5 days out) and can't say for sure; but, my High Noon Split Decision seems to securely hold the gun in the holster. It is an IWB rig and is tuckable. Bought it to practice carrying around ...

Re: Best holsters for SA XD subcompact 9mm

I've got a High Noon tuckable IWB that I think will work for a while. Pretty comfortable but think a Bullard Dual Carry is in the immediate future.

Re: DPS Processing Times

I am totally pumped. Mailed the packet on 10/20 and as of today: Application Completed - license issued or certificate active! Hopefully in a week the plastic will be here. Already planning the Wally Walk.

Re: Compact .40 options

XD49sc would be a great option. Had the 4" version and loved the way it ran. Traded it for an XD9sc and if the .40 version is anywhere near as good as the 9mm it would be a great buy. Conceals well with the 10 rd mag and a Crossbreed SuperTuck or Bullard Dual Carry are both excellent options fo...

Re: Longview: another reason to carry at church!

I live pretty close to where the incident took place. Until the last year or so I have never been the least bit nervous about being out and about in Longview at any time of the day or night and never locked my doors when I was home. Seems to be a lot of mischief going on here these days and now all ...

Re: Need Opinons on .22 caliber hand gun

Bought an XD40svc and got tired of supporting the high cost of .40 ammo. Then bought a Sig Mosquito even though many reviews were not good for it's accuracy or reliability. Maybe I got one of the good ones. Shot great and the size and design made it a good "practice" gun and was able to sw...

Re: XD .45 Service w/thumb safety

OldGringo hate to hear of the problem with the new .45 Never had a similar problem with the .40 or the new 9sc. Might want to post this question on XDTalk and see if one of the XD addicted guys over there can help. You never know...

Re: Today's Tyler Gun Show

Today's show was by G & S. $1increase could be offset by printing an online coupon. Printed coupons last week and then got sick so couldn't drive over. Sounds like it would have been a waste of time and money. Think High Caliber will be at Harvey Hall on December 13-14. Guess I won't buy a .45 t...

Re: October Application

How long does it take after you get a PIN? Don't remember anyone saying but then I don't remember much anyway. DPS got my packet on 10/24 and got a reply to an e-mail with the PIN today. Got home and there was the letter from DPS with the same info. How long now? If it's back down to 60 days there i...

Re: WTB: XD45 Compact 4", DFW area

Glad to hear you found one. Hoped that Schramm or GunZone could hook you up. Have fun shooting that big boy.
