Yes sir!! Prayers on the way!!!!

Very well said!!! I agree wholeheartedly!!!

So sorry to hear this. Prayers for his family and friends.

Nice guitars!!! I have a Martin D-42 at home. Don't dare bring it out here with me. Wouldn't care to put it through the heat and dust, not to mention wouldn't want to have to bug out and leave it behind for some camel jockey.

That's professional grade work. That gun and holster would be welcome at any Texas BBQ I've been to. Now, if you can come up with some excellent bbq sauce to match your other work, I'd say you'ld be the jefe at any bbq you attend!!!

Sorry, the point I was trying to make is that most people would practice with a holster before carrying it for actual use. It is assumed that anyone who carrys a gun would continue to practice with it, his holster of choice and ancillary equipment. Thankfully I'm not a security specialist out here. ...

Just called home and talked to the wife; my CHL came in today's mail!!! Can't complain about the wait!!!

Seadog - We live in The Woodlands, so don't think living in Houston area will slow you up too much!!!

Joe - hope your's CHL makes it in this week!!

I think the Serpa is an excellent holster and have many friends and co-workers who use them. I really like the Comp-tac holsters and have been using one since the fighting started in Iraq and Afghanistan. I've never had any problem with them, and I'm sure the three I have with me will last til my ti...

Packet arrived in Austin on 03 August. Checked on-line yesterday and it says Application completed, license issued or certificate active. Not bad, looks like DPS is doing their best to get these applications done on time!!! :clapping: :clapping: Thanks Joe817, maybe your comments helped!!!!! :txflag...

Someone must have lit a fire under DPS's butt. My application was mailed out on 01 August. Just checked on line, and I got the word: application completed. license issued or certificate active. Plastic "should" arrive before I return home on r&r in October.

If they are posted its something new. I haven't been home in a few months; but they did not post in the past.

My paperwork was also received by DPS on 03 August. Should be interesting to see how long it takes for approval. I held a CCL from 2002-2006 it expired while I was serving at the Embassy in Paraguay 2006-2008. Last time I submitted my paperwork in October and received my license in March. My timing ...

I don't know about shooting schools not liking them, but it seems like half the security specialists in Iraq and Afghanistan carry them. I don't think there's anything wrong with the holster; perhaps some of the users who have had problems didn't take the time to adequately train with the new rig.

I've read many magazine articles where the writer warned against using reloads for self defense, saying it could be used against you in court. Former Texas sheriff Jim Wilson is now a gun writer with (I believe) Shooting Times. He has addressed this issue numerous times, and says he has never been a...

Ed Brown's Special Forces 1911 is the nicest high end government model I've used!!
