Evening gents.  Just finished a long list of chores and sat down to a melanio rob.  Beautiful day in central Texas.  Sadly I think the warden is fixin to interrupt my relaxation with "let's go to dinner " plans. 

[razgueado]

Bye the bye, I've decided to return the Front-Line tuckable holster. I like that it's made of heavy leather. But fit on the gun was a little loose, and it doesn't really work as an OWB holster. With the 1911, it's floppy. It was obviously a lot to expect for it to function as both IWB and OWB. But given it doesn't, then its belt loops are too exposed. I've decided to try a Desantis Mad Max, and if that works for me to put in an order for the real thing - a Versa-Max 2. For open or semi-concealed carry, I'm going to pick up an Omega Gunsite.

Fits glock perfect but I don't like it as OWB hangs too low but I always wear IWB anyway which is what I bought it for.  Just like cigars everyone likes um different

Indeed. And the Front-line is undoubtedly a quality holster.

I place one loop near my trousers loop and cover the other one with cell phone and virtually not noticeable at all.

When I carry at work, it really needs to be deep conceal, because while it's not illegal or against regulations for me to carry there, it would really make people upset. The loops on the FL are more prominent on me because I'm short and fairly skinny. I can manage to hide them, but I'd be worrying about them - and worrying about them leads to discovery. Fortunately, we have to dress more warmly here than Texans do most of the year, which helps with concealing. But the smaller I can get the footprint of the retainer clips/loops to be, the more likely I'll be able to use a single holster year-round.

I am forbidden by law to carry at work and can't even have the empty holster by policy - SUX but then again so does my job.

Guy in Houston makes these and they are truly invisible, not so sure about comfort of 1911 in it though. I have one and would be better for skinny guy but can put small Glock in it easy.  Have to wear an undershirt under it.

Seen that, just haven't gotten around to trying one with a 1911.

My accident has gotten me seriously thinking about lighter-weight carry, though. I love my 1911, but seriously thinking I need a smaller and lighter option. Thinking about a G23, and seems to me that would work nicely in a rig like the Kangaroo.

Hiya, Bean. My wife is starting to give me the get-to-workin' stinkeye. But the work I'll have to do today is paperwork, so I'll get to have a cigar while I do it. ;-)

I have that Glock, and while certainly more CC friendly than a 1911 it's not exactly small.  There are a ton of great compacts which you would love, depending on your cal desires.

Yeah, I'm hoping when she gets home and sees how great the garage looks now she'll forget about being hungry long enough for me to finish this stick.

I admit I am a Glock whore and a .357 Sig whore but my #1 carry is a G-33 with a G-32 magazine and X-Grip extender.  For the .45 whores look at a G-30S but hard to find.  It is narrower than other 2 G-30 models and holds 10 +1

[South Carolina Redfish]

Warden said it is getting cold and went inside so I am in the clear.  Not bad out at all though.

[South Carolina Redfish]

.357 Sig with Ranger-t's will stop anything on 2 legs in its tracks. Air Marshall's carry .357 Sig with frangible bullets  for the very reason they have enormous stopping power even with those loads.

I haven't found a truly "small" weapon I like or can shoot well. I'm sure I could manage one with enough practice, but the question always seems to be, "Why?" If I can comfortably conceal and carry a full-size 1911, then a somewhat smaller and lighter weapon should be easier without having to master the ergonomic eccentricities of a subcompact. I like the 23 and can shoot it well. I've never tried a 26 because I didn't like the feel when I held one in a store, even though I have small hands.

Give the 33 and 30S a try if you want something smaller than 1911.  I luv 1911's but can't hit chit with one for some reason.  I have a vintage Jim Clark custom Colt 1911 and luv it but can't hit chit.
Commander size 1911 is a lighter option too, Kimber is mighty nice at somewhat realistic price.

I'm not a Glock whore - yet. Early on I sniffed at them like most 1911-bigots do. But after shooting several, I decided I like them fine. To my mind, they are the best value-, quality-, and weight-for-money package there is. I just haven't gotten to buying one yet because I keep buying cigars and holsters. ;-)

Evening gents.  Just finished a long list of chores and sat down to a melanio rob.  Beautiful day in central Texas.  Sadly I think the warden is fixin to interrupt my relaxation with "let's go to dinner " plans.

Yeah, I'm hoping when she gets home and sees how great the garage looks now she'll forget about being hungry long enough for me to finish this stick.

What ya smok'n?

Melanio rob.  And I lucked out, she picked up some food on the way home, no changing clothes and rushing out to a restaurant on a Saturday evening.
