I know you were looking for a revolver but the sw shield 9 ez is basically draigned for this situation.

Ive never really done the rotation thing, but have tried a few pistols. My first gun was a SW shield 9. Good gun, reliable, and its small enough so i can always carry it as long as im wearing a belt and untucked shirt. Still carry it occasionally when i want maximum comfort (owb or iwb at 330)...

I’d say that if you buy guns, or something else, because you like them without much practical purpose that’s basically collecting. I have a few that are just cool to me and I’d never carry or shoot at an animal or grab when my back window was broken. You can shoot your collectibles or not. Use...

If you don’t really have a purpose in mind I would probably pick either an AK, a Garand, a vintage 1911, or a full size .357 from SW. If you might want to carry this gun or want some practical application for it I’d get a Glock 43 or a quality semiauto 12ga. If a pump floats your boat go with a...

Bravo concealment offers two holster bundles for like $80 and are very good quality. If you buy one alone they’re offering a free mag carrier right now. Always free shipping too.

I just got one of those! Haven’t shot it yet. I bought it at a lgs because I wanted to support them and paid $570 plus tax. Could have gotten it about $50 cheaper online. I’d recommend it on looks alone.

“Still relevant” is sort of an open ended way to look at this. Lots of people own 1911s in .45 so it’s still relevant in that sense. Is it the best objective choice for carry or HD? I would have a hard time saying yes, considering that most 1911s are heavier, larger in footprint, and have maybe...

Update: I think I found the issue. When my finger is off the trigger it rests just on top of the pin end of the slide lock. When I manually rack the slide I think I was putting just enough pressure on it that when the takedown notch would pass by it would back out about 1/16”. Glad it’s me and...

Update: The eagle has landed, and it’s an Auto-Ordnance plain Jane 1911a1. Picture attached! So far all I’ve gotten to do is fondle it, and it feels great in my hand. I took it apart for a cleaning/degreasing/cuddle session yesterday and discovered it was a little trickier than the Glock or...

Good to hear, since I’ve been considering one. How does it work for carrying between 12:00 and 1:30? I have a Kore belt that is great but not quite right for appendix carry. Is there anything up front around the buckle to interfere with a holster?

Field pistol...hmmm... I’d say that it should be versatile enough to cover a wide range of circumstances if you’re hiking, hunting, fishing, camping, or working on a farm maybe. I would take one of two choices for the task: either a .357 revolver or .22 revolver, DA/SA, and as lightweight as...

You have a nice belt and holster, great start. I have a couple of things to add. Increase the can’t slightly. If carrying at 4:00 another 3-5 degrees can make all the difference. Make sure your wardrobe can cover your pistol. A sport coat/jacket, cardigan, or even an untucked button down...

Springfield XD is the McRib of pistols. Seriously though, you have a lot more aftermarket support for the Glock. I also don’t like the grip safety. I’m also a Glock fanboi.

I’ve been considering the bravo cinturon belt. I’ll be looking forward to what you have to say. The ares belts look great but I don’t really want to pay $100 or more for a belt.

I stopped by Walmart Saturday, Winchester train and defend is on sale here too but still a good bit more expensive than you saw. I think $11 for 9mm T and about the same for 20 rounds of HP.
