Gun Holsters

am looking for a range holster for my wife, her favorite color is lime green. I am looking for anyone that makes Kydex holsters in that or another bright color for her.Holsters recalled because strap causes gun Holster to fire
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pennsylvania company is recalling about 3,200 gun Blackhawk Holsters because the strap can catch the trigger and cause the weapon to fire accidentally. Eight incidents of accidental firing have been reported, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The Fobus USA Shoulder holster Division of First Samco, of Southampton, Pa., is recalling its Fobus GLT Pistol holsters, designed for Series 17 and Series 19 Glock pistol Magazines handguns fitted with a laser-sight light. There have been eight reports of guns discharging as they were inserted into the concealment holsters. One person injured a finger.

Guys, it is REALLY easy to try to skimp on carry gear when you have spent 500 or more on a gun holsters piece…..BUT DON’T DO IT!!!

As Cav Vet has shown, it’s a simple thing that can land your prized carry piece on the concrete…..and while it may not damage your weapon anything more than superficially, think of what kind of DOLT you will look like if people see it. That’s the minimum that can happen.

I used to use fairly cheap holsters for years….as I got fatter and fatter they became more and more uncomfortable and more and more of a liability to my security. One year, for my birthday, my best friend bought me a Galco paddle rig for my Browning High Power…..and though I would eventually find even that uncomfortable it served me well for years and I still use it from time to time.

Fobus holsters

By the way, if you can’t draw the gun out of a fobus, what are you doing with a gun anyways?

Do you people carry in your Tactical holster?

The recall, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, involves about 3,200 units with leather or plastic retention straps less than an inch wide. The revolver holsters are inscribed with "GL 2*EMZ," "FOBUS HOLSTERS" and "Made in Israel." They were sold at gun accessory retailers nationwide and on the Fobus Web site between March 2002 and March 2003 for about $40 to $45.

I had picked up a Fobus holster as a knock-around range Bianchi Shoulder holsters. I wasn’t looking to draw quickly from it. I only got it to carry the gun so I wouldn’t have to leave my spare on the range booth’s counter. Like coltshorty14, the Fobus I had wouldn’t let go of the pistol holster . I had to push the pistol to the side, against the revolver holsters, to get it to release. I couldn’t get rid of that holster fast enough. -Since that time I have heard of many instances of the plastic ripping around the rivets…

YMMV, but from what I have seen, Fobus holsters are the poorest quality, mass produced revolver holsters on the market. There are plenty of quality Kydex Bianchi Shoulder holsters out there and there’s a reason Fobus costs half as much as those ankle holster.

AR-15 Accessories and Parts

Sorry, this is not correct. The AR-15 SPR absolutely does indeed use a rifle length gas system.

As far as us ‘enthusiasts’ know, the military has not adopted the mid system in any form yet.

Certainly not in the SPR.

I’m sure some more experienced folks might have more info on this though…

for an 18" build, the one advantage I give the mid and why I have them, is that I personally think that it balances out the gas system better to have AR-15 accessories inches of barrel in FRONT of the gas port rather than ~4.

we had a thread on this before regarding dissapators and gas systems.

The SPR uses a rifle length gas system. Just look at the post by Milla here, you can clearly see the gas tube extending past the KAC rails.

Eotech

LaRue just came out with a new LT670 mount, but it’s designed for the older 512 Eotech, (and now getting obsolete fast) The LaRue 670 mount will not work with the newer and higher 517 Eotechs. (How’s that product release for timing!)

Sig Sauer 239 magazines

Sig Sauer 239 magazines was cleaned and lubed before heading out. I soaked the extractor in CLP at the range and cleaned it there. That didn’t make any difference in the frequency of FTEx.

This is a real disappointment for me. I really, really like the way the Sig Sauer 239 magazine feels and points. The trigger was fine and for the 6 times the pistol actually functioned as a auto-loader follow-up shots seemed to be fast. I was hoping that this was going to be my new carry pistol, but that isn’t going to happen until it’s fixed.

Rifle Scopes

I ‘m in total agreement with you about not having this scope made in China Rifle Scopes. I’m a firefighter, I don’t build scopes. It was never my intention to go thru all the time money and frustration Ive been thru in trying to get this reticle into a good quality scope. I have offered to license this reticle to just about every one of the scope manufactures that make good quality tactical scopes. All of them, I say again all of them have turned my offer down. Even Millett was not interested in marketing the CRS under their company. Instead Millett Rifle scopes took the concept of the CRS and sold it as the rfp circle dot DMS-1.
US Optics could have made the 1×4 or 1.5×6 version of the CRS but I wasn’t satisfied with their illumination system plus a couple of other factors kept me from going with them.

Washington: Pro-gun activists show up en masse
Sen. Adam Kline’s quest to ban so called assault pistols and rifles ran into a human wall of opposition Tuesday morning during a hearing in his committee. Gun rights activists were outraged, packing the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Senate Bill 6396; a show of hands revealed that about 90 percent opposed the bill.

Rifle Scopes

was looking at the GRSC CRS Rifle Scope myself and really like everything it offers! I don’t like that it’s a Millett with w/ a great reticule because of the Millett’s weight and less than stellar performance. Some of the things mentioned above (minus the ridiculous comparison to NCstar) including the fact that no more will be made in the foreseeable future, steered me away from it.

I’ve come across the new Burris Rifle Scopes XTR-14 and have decided on it. 1-4×24 illuminated horseshoe/dot 100-1000yds bdc calibrated for 5.56 62gr approx $550. I was very pleased with my Burris FFII for a $200 scope; FFII is their budget line while XTR is top of the line!

Pocket Holster

After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "Closing Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB Shoulder holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my Pocket Holster. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an Pistol Magazine. It was $80 and it came in a week. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.

One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon Shoulder holster is subpar, IMO.

spotted.

AR-15 Accessories and Parts

The best for me is what ive built for myself with known quality parts.My original Bushmasters were great but after their rebuilds owning them the last 16 years they are better.My main carbines parts are.

CMT M4 ramped upper with a CMMG socom 14.7/permanent ar15 A2 hider with M4 extension.
LMT enhanced M16 carrier with all colt internals including the bolt.Lower is Bushmaster with a CMT hammer all other parts are orignal and an RRA type 2 telestock assembly with a 9mm buffer.Carry handle is a Colt and my BUIS is a GG&G MAD2 to 600 meter arperture disc.My back up carbines the same only a Sabre defence barrel and my wifes has a Bushmaster 1/7 M4 profile with phantom all 1/7 barrels.

Bushmaster makes a great rifle and barrels are good I just prefer certain parts ar-15 Accessories MP and HP tested individually and im willing to pay for those..barrels,bolts and carriers.Get something that has a chromelined barrel 4140 or 4150 steel is not gonna matter in a semi-auto AR.

I like Colt I just hate the larger FCG parts that I wish they would just go back to standard as there reasoning going bigger was to apease the anti-gun crwod way back but like we saw in 94 no AR manufacturer skirted the ban no matter the concesion..thats my only gripe with them other wise their parts are outstanding..wish I could get their soccom barrels cheaper

Glock 19 Magazine

o what if he does? Does that make him a freak or deserve a wow? Does that make him less of a man or something? Did I miss the memo that shows how they proved hand size directly relates to intelligence or penis size? What about women and kids, are they not worthy of shooting Glock 19 Magazine because their hands aren’t big enough either?

I just don’t understand the stupid comments that posted everytime this subject comes up. Such as..

And why the hell not? There is absolutely nothing wrong with replaceable grip inserts. Show me an example of even one polymer framed pistol with replaceable grip inserts that have had issues related to that feature? You can’t. You just don’t like it because you personally don’t need it. Well goody gum drops for you but there are a lot of people who do.

There is nothing wrong with replaceable grip inserts and it is stupid for any polymer pistol in this day and age not to have them. The problem is people like you who have no problems with the Glocks the way they are seem to think that if they work for you, they should work for everybody and if it doesn’t tough shit.

Well that’s not the way it works. Most companies have already caught on to that and whether you like it or not, Glock 19 Magazines will eventually have to wake up and smell that coffee too. Mark my words, it will happen. Maybe not this year or next but it is coming.

Don’t fret though, all you haters who think the Gen2 or 3 frames are perfection should rejoice because just think about all of the cheap Gen2 and 3 frames that will hit the market when everybody starts trading up the the Gen4 (or 5?) frames!

Rifle Scopes

In my opinion, you would have to really NEED *that reticle*
to justify the extra cost for just an OK piece of glass that typically
runs $260.00

Having owned and sold 2 DMS 1’s and a CRS, let me point out a few critical differences aside from just the reticule. Although made by Millet Rifle Scopes and housed in a DMS body, the CRS is an FFP scope so the ranging and BDC Rifle Scopes works at any magnification, the size of the reticule adjusting accordingly.
It has a much bigger eyebox and better eye relief than the DMS 1, again by virtue of it’s FFP design. I got rid of my DMS’s ) because it felt as though if i moved my eye 1/4" in any direction off centerline to the scope it would black out. The result was slower on target times with the DMS than the rifle scope. ( and i do have a very consistant cheekweld, thankyou )
This made it more effective as a red dot-ish scope at 1X on targets more than 10 ft away than the DMS. At 4X the reticule comes into it’s own, the ranging and BD adjustments are incredibly intuitive.

Although they were made by Millet , Ed is a stand up American who’s trying to realise his dream. Read the whole thread referenced above for some insight.

Trijicon

The eye relief on this scope is in my opinion the largest benefit. I shoot NTC and the smaller FOV (19.3 at 100) makes the BAC real easy to use. I also find the smaller FOV, eye relief, and overall small diameter of this ACOG to be REAL nice in keeping the sight picture concise and my Trijicon Trijiconsurroundings unobstructed. Comparatively, the TA11 now seems WAY too heavy and the TA31 feels like my eyeball has to molest the scope from 1.5" out to maintain a sight picture. The small overall size and extra 0.4" of eye relief makes all the difference in the world. I’m now spoiled.

Pistol Magazines

Most of my shooting Pistol Magazines have been with Glocks. Though I love them, I’m living in Washington now, so I’d like something I can just go up some dirt road and let a few rounds go.

Its just a plinking gun, so cheap ammo is a plus. If I do go with the Pistol Magazine, I’ll probably pick up the Tac65 suppressor to go with it.

Any reason I shouldn’t get one?
Any recommendations on where to order?(not interested in the package with the suppressor, I’ll be picking up the suppressor a little later)
Good recommendations on ammo? I hear the CCI High Velocity work well, and are cheap.
Is getting the laser worth it? Can it be seen during the day?

Browning hi power magazine

Although it would seem not as ’in demand’ as the Government Model the Browning hi power magazine 1900 pistol magazine Hi-Power has remained a popular offering through our shop. Still an extremely viable weapon system, even in stock form the Hi-Power offers a very attractive blending of size, weight, concealability, and of course a healthy payload of ammo. And for those who favor a 9mm there really may be no better platform for a carry gun… but, despite being lauded by many as “Browning hi power magazines masterpiece”, the guns aren’t exactly perfect from the factory. Many users find the stock sights too small, the thumb safety less than optimal, the hammer a bit too nippy, and the trigger simply not as useable as the Browning’s other jewel the 1911. But at Heirloom Precision we’ve got a little something that addresses all that and more… the SRT conversion.

Glock 17 magazines

MO ,Just more complexity to potentialy cause problems,loose pins etc.

Besides,how could Glock 17 magazines do this without closing off the backstrap channel?Everyone knows that must remain open in order for a Glock to function properly!

If glock wants to follow the lead of other manufacturers, whose current designs more than likely will not even be on the market in ten years ,I think it would be a mistake!

If you cannot adjust to the Glock 17 magazine ergos the way they are ,you have lots of other choices.

The IWB from cowboy holsters has been my favored way to carry a G19 and G30 for several years. They are little thick and chunky, but are a very solid, durable design. If money’s no object, Matt DelFatti’s IWBs (delfatti.com) are awesome.

Beretta 92 Magazine

‘ve been looking for a blued Beretta 92 Magazine (80’s production). I have read reports and "talk" about the locking block being prone to breakage. I’m not a high volume shooter and have always been interested in getting a Beretta 92F.

I’d like some feedback from users here about there first hand experience with the Beretta 92 Magazines. I’m not looking for a pistol that will last 100,000. I just need to know that it won’t have a cracked slide or something after a thousand rounds.

he locking block issues seem to only occur with VERY high volume shooters, and even then it’s not like it’s super common.
If the beretta couldn’t go 1,000 rounds without failures, the army wouldn’t be issuing them to their special forces, PERIOD. Beretta’s have a good reputation for reliability, buy with confidence
