Re: My first shot at Kydex
Op - looks good. If I may just add a word of advice to help: make sure you are leaving some room in the holster so it is not a skin tight fit. For example - if you use a heavy tube sock when fitting and molding it will give you some room to help avoid any marring on your firearm. This is not as impo...

Re: How do you carry your spare mags?
100% Pocket Carry - 1911 Commander 8 rounder with an extra 8 ready to go - for me it is more comfortable than IWB magazine carry. Grab and go easy.

Re: Ranges in Ft Worth
Indoor ranges - I like Shootsmart and also On Target. Shootsmart is my first choice because its only 5 min up the highway from me. Great folks, lighting on the lanes is good and air circulation is good. Outdoor - I prefer Alpine Shooting range to all other OUTDOOR Ranges in the Ft Worth area.

Re: 1911 magazine
I have had great success with ACT/Novak Mags and also Powermags by Chip.
The ACT mags I have are well built and have been every bit as dependable as the powermags.

Re: CC a 5" 1911?
I will carry a commander 1911 on occassion - must have a proper belt and holster set up for all day comfort. A fullsize gun can be a great ccw but you have to put some thought into what you are doing - wardrobe, belt, holster, carry position. When I take these things into account I find carrying a 1...

Re: Bad sign walk off
I like to think of it more like the "no soliciting" signs posted at the entrance of business and residentials alike - useless at stopping solicitors For chl holders it does nothing without 30.06 or 51% posted on it correctly. If you have your chl move on - if not - my question is why dont ...

Re: Good DPS Stop
Good to hear - it always surprises me when others have such a terrible experiences. Esp here in Texas when the process is so much more, well lets just stick with more, than other states - Fingerprint, background check, 10hour educational requirement etc.

Re: Motorcycle carry need advice
when on my hd I wear a specifc vest for carry - so many options in denim and leather that you should be able to find what you are looking for. I switched over and found that it to be very comfortable on long rides. no concerns about printing or about a firearm falling (not that it has ever done so b...
