    Sidearms & Scatterguns Alien Gear Holsters

    I ordered the hybrid pack for a Kimber Pro and a G 38. They came with the IWB and OWB leather backings and a basic shitload of spare screws, clips and parts. The retention on mine is not so great, but I have to monkey with the rubber hose uh er gromets they come with. Not much to look at, but...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Wife's wanting a handgun

    You don't pick out her shoes, don't try and pick her pistol. My daughter much prefers my G 37 to the G 26 I thought she would like. Go figure.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What do you think about the Salient Arms Glocks?

    I shot Pat McNamaras 17 at one of his classes. It sits in your hand like a well made glove and shoots like a pellet gun. I say buy one if you can afford it. You can always get your money back.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 45 carry ammo

    I would recommend a bonded bullet. DOS security details were having issues with corbon bullets breaking apart without hitting medium. I carry Speer gold dot hollow point as it is a bonded bullet and the shape makes it a reliable hollow point. The federal Hydrashocks are not bonded bullets. If...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    OK, I looked at about 10 Kimbers at the store today and only two were cut like the picture you showed the rest appeared to be centered. I wonder, A, how does that happen and B, is it intentional? and C, how do they still function. The off center ones were were all 5" guns. There has to be a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 45acp which one ?

    I have carried a G 21 (Gen 2) for a few years, it is a big gun, but can be concealed and carried with the right gear. I recommend kydex. I also carried a G 36 for 3 years until I got the mystery malfunction. I rebuilt the entire slide and then it worked fine. I have a G 21SF and a G 30SF, my...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    You are right its not worth pissing and moaning about but your snapshot in time is hardly scientific. Look on the ATF web site and see how many pistols each manufacturer makes and then count a years worth of posts. Your comment supports mine in that more pistols = more complaints by number, not...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    To be honest, I just made it up. But every Kimber I have owned is cut like that and my story above is my best guess as to why. If it was just a bad angle and not intentional, the angles on the flare would match, right? If you hand out on a 1911 forum, you will see just as much bitching about...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    When the slide comes forward and catches the next round and the rim slides up behind the extractor, the left side of the cartridge is free to move, causing the bullet to cant slightly to the right. This method of cutting the throat accounts for that and ensures better feeding.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns 1911 owb holster

    For a reasonable price, zero wait time and a nice piece of leather, look at the Galco OWB holsters. I use the Avenger series for my 3" 4" and 5" 1911's they have others there as well, with an without thumbsnaps, if you do that kinda thing.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock 20

    I just bought one and I love it. I am trying to get the reloading right. I think the key is the after market barrel to better support the casing. You won't be sorry.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns question on grip stippling

    Leave it alone and stipple over it. No need to sand it. I practiced first on the cap from a water bottle and then went to the +2 magazine base plate, then the pistol. I started with a G 38 that had the finger grooves carved off with a paring knife. Previous owner. Then moved on to my new Gen 3...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Kimber 1911's

    I have owned well over a dozen Kimbers, some I have had a few issues with. Most ran well out of the box. I take everyone and lap the slide to the frame with old white toothpaste. Call me crazy, but it works. I learned this with a Raptor Pro I had that had some significant FTE/FTF during break...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Safety issue: 1911 in a Garrett Industries Silent Thunder Fusion holster = NO BUENO!

    If you carry a 1911 often enough, especially with an ambi safety, you will fight the dreaded safety off syndrome, regardless of the holster. If T300 does not send you the shipping I am glad to email you a prepaid USPS label.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Glock Aftermarket Sights

    I have these on all of my Glocks. With the metal housings, they are much more durable than the original models.
