Just to bring the holster saga that TexDave and I started full circle...I got the Desantis Mad Max and am trying it out in tuckable mode today.  I was actually surprised by the build quality.  I expected it to be of thin leather like the Desantis holster I've been using for the past two years, but the Max is well constructed with leather of similar weight to the Front-Line.  The only disappointment I have with the Max is the finish.  Clearly they just had some clown with a spray gun spraying assembled holsters.  The finish is fine, except when you try to adjust the loops or remove them to install the J-hooks.  You can see the bare spots in the picture below.  So the Front-Line wins for finish.  The Max wins by a nose for ease of tuckability - slightly easier to get the shirt tucked and adjusted around it with the j-hooks than with the Front-Line's flaps.  Otherwise, it's pretty much a draw.  I'm slightly happier with the Desantis than I was with the Front-Line, but both are very good holsters.  But I'm definitely going to order the real thing - a Sparks Versa Max 2.
Good review!

Nice spicey Texas Chili warming up here for lunch on this ice cold 40 degree day, wind is picking up rapidly though and likely to start cooling down pretty soon.  Near 20 degrees in the morning.

Looks like Famous may finally be out of the Murcialago Toro 4-packs, sad day
:'(  Should have bought more myself!
No excuses....you have your last chance at Atlantic.  (maybe I should get on their advertising payroll)
We all htought you were on their payroll already.
....I guess the check is in the mail.
You also have some RPs and Gurks coming to you on the 15th so things are looking good
I ain't bringin' 'em, don't worry.  Didn't think anyone was reading the banter at that hour.
yeah, but flip might make it, I don't have any RP's but as for the other, lets just say, I'm packing.
Good morning boys
Good morning flip.
morning BD, what are you making for breakfast.  Because it was so cold this morning, drove my 16yr old to school, rather than have her walking from the train to school.  had a "Carnegie Deli Omelet(pastrami, corned beef and swiss cheese) this morning at a diner, than caught the 8:36 train in myself.
Dammit.  Now I'm hungry, and the Carnegie Deli is a long way away.
it was a way from me a bit too, this was at the Candlewyck diner in East Rutherford NJ...

But those thin martini glasses are rather fragile, might be an issue there.

Drink 'em straight from the shaker.  Colder that way.

You lost me at groupon
Ask your wife.
I did, she told me whoever used them was gay
They're commies.
Gay commies? Like your snowmen?  ;D
My snowmen are libertarian.  But like all the snowmen, gay nonetheless.
Bring on the groundhogs!   That way if they see their shadows we can use them for target practice.
Doesn't BD have groundhog issues?  Or prairie dogs, or some such varmint.
Moles but he is morally opposed to snuffing them out so nothing to see there but more moles. ::)  Hopefully when he is up to his azz in moles he will beg us to come rid him of them. ;D
