    AR fore grip questions

    I've got a DPMS AR .223/5.56 that if fitted with a Surefire M73 Quad rail. The right side has a fairly large flashlight with a remote switch. I'm a right-handed shooter. The light makes for a wide front grip with my left thumb on the switch and my right fingers wrapped around the light. Not...

    What's the smallest pistol you'd trust?

    I like to carry a S&W 642 in a Mika pocket holster. I normally carry a 5" 1911 in a MS VM2.

    Del Fatti holster is VERY tight.

    I recently bought a Del Fatti ISP LP holster for a Kimber 4" 1911. I've bought many different holster, but this is the tightest one yet. I have a Milt Sparks VM2 for my "5 1911. It was tight, but not as tight as the Del Fatti. Any advice on loosening up the leather? So far I'm just drawing...

    Opinions on some Galco gunleather

    I have 2 Galco Royal Guard IWB holsters. The Royal guard is the horsehide version of the summer comfort. Very good quality holsters. I have one for a 5" 1911, and one for a Glock 30.

    What time is your full sized 1911 carried IWB?

    I carry either a Kimber Compact CDP II (4"bbl, officer size frame) or a full size Tactical Custom II. I use both a VMII or a Galco Royal guard carried at 3:30 to 4:00. Very easy to conceal and very comfortable.

    SW 642 a pocket gun? Really?

    I pocket carry my 642 in a Robert Mika holster. Great combo. I can use cargo type pants or pleated dockers. I carry in my front left pocket, along with a 1911 IWB, or just the 642 and 2 speed strips. BTW, I highly recommend the "short" boot style Crimson laser grip on a 642.

    Kimbers good for carry or not

    I own a Kimber Compact CDP II and a Tactical Custom II. These are my two main EDC guns. Both guns were very reliable out of the box, and they get smoother the more I shoot them. I have no reservations about carrying either.

    Glock 21

    I've got a Glock 21, not the SF, with a picatinny rail. I usually keep a streamlight TLR-1 mounted. I use it mostly as home defense weapon, although I used it to qualify for my Armed Guard license. If I decide to work as an armed guard, it will be my duty weapon carried in a FOBUS security...

    Kimber compact CDP II range report

    I recently acquired a Kimber Compact CDP II to go along with my Tactical Custom II. After a good cleaning, I headed out to the range to shoot both guns. I'm happy to report that I put 50 rounds thru it, and had only one FTF. That happened on the 2nd mag. After that, the pistol ran great and the...

    Mag size for Kimber Compact 1911

    I believe the Kimber "compact" models are the same dimensions as an "Officer" model. The butt frame is 1/2" shorter than the Govt. models. I am getting 2 Wilson 7rd mags to try out. I'm getting one that is flat and fits flush with the mag well, and the other has a low profile base.

    Mag size for Kimber Compact 1911

    I'm a big fan of 1911s, but the ones I own are all govt size 5". I am considering a Kimber Compact CDP II for a 4" to give me another option for my carry rigs. I realize the gun takes 7rd mags. I am partial to the Wilson 47D 8rd mags for my 1911s, and would like to get something similar in a...

    Joined the Kimber club yesterday

    I bought a tactical custom II a few months ago. It's my favorite semi-auto that I own. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine so far!
