Magnets on Guns

I love the idea of a magnet pistol mount under a desk, cabinet, etc. But I'm concerned the magnet will magnetize the handgun... attracting metal shavings all over it. Will that happen?

Re: Tandy Leather - Lubbock

There was a Tandy Leather in my town years ago. As a kid, I made holsters, belts, knife scabbards, and a wallet. Then I got in to making jewelry with leather and beads. Overall a great experience for a kid. They closed up somewhere in the 70's. I wish my kids would've had an opportunity to "pla...

Re: New Favorite Holster

Mike,

You are absolutely correct. Back when I was carrying a Shield in leather the mag release failed to function. The entire release mechanism was rusted and would not release the mag. Required a trip to the gunsmith.

It never occurred to me to grease the mag release before that.

Re: New Favorite Holster

Well, after more than a month of edc I'm still very impressed with this holster. After a couple of days getting used to the clip it's a non-issue. I work in a very hot environment. 100+ degrees F. My leather holsters would get wet and bleed on my pants and get the firearm all wet. No more bleed and ...

New Favorite Holster

I never thought I'd be a kydex kind of guy. I've always used custom made leather holsters. I've tried some kydex in the past and was not impressed. Then I found this place: http://tulster.com/ . VERY impressed. Great design and workmanship. I never thought I'd call a kydex holster attractive but the...

Re: Finally Found a Negative on the Shield

Is yours modified? The reason I ask is my shield has a polymer button for the magazine release. I don't see a way for it to stick due to rusting. I may have to investigate mine further. Dave Mine is 100% stock. If you will eject your mag, turn the handgun upside down and look in the grip with a fla...

Finally Found a Negative on the Shield

The 9mm Shield has been my EDC for almost a year. This handgun has been flawless until I discovered the following... The mag release button rusted stuck. Could not eject a mag. Given, I haven't fired or cleaned it in a few months. I saw the brown stuff around the button. I thought it was from the ho...

Kahr P380

I currently own a Colt Pony, smithed by Scott McDougal, Ruger LCP, S&W M&P Bodyguard. I sold my AMT Backup .380 years ago; way to heavy. I don't like any of these .380's for varying reasons. The Glock 42 is too big for me for a .380. Anyone have any experience with the Kahr P380? I'm looking...

Search for a good .380

With summer coming again soon I've been real concerned about settling-in on a .380 pistol. I am not a fan of the .380 but it is the caliber I carry when I decide I'm not going to carry. The last couple of years has been a Ruger LCP. Small...light...awesome. But I've never been comfortable with build...

Shoulder Holster?

I've never gotten in to shoulder holsters but just thinking now. I always thought you would have to wear an outer garment with one. But what about wearing the holster next to the skin with a loose fitting t shirt or button down over it? I live and work in SE Texas. My plant can get up to 110F+. I us...

Anyone Use a Belly Band Holster?

I used one many years ago for a short time. I don't remember why I quit. Back in those days I was trying every carry method possible. Now that I'm exercising again, after a long-term knee problem, I need a carry method suitable for gym shorts and a t-shirt. Can someone recommend a good, cool belly b...

I'm Finally Satisfied with My Daily Carry

I've had my CHL since it first became available...I think 1995. I've carried almost everything in almost every way imaginable. I'm not one one of those "carry to and from my truck" kind of guys so comfort plays a big part with me. Years ago I settled for OWB Avenger style holster in 4:00 p...

Belt Width Important?

I've been using 1.25" gun belts for years....Mitch Rosen and Matt Delfatti. I decided to try a 1.5" belt to see if I could get some more stability. I had to order a new holster for my new XDs anyway so now seemed like the time. It seems that Rosen and Delfatti have gotten busy since I boug...
