Ok, this is my first post so I'm sorry if this has been covered already. I am in the process of getting my CCW permit (I just made an appointment with local LEO to do the application, I live in Ohio) and am curious about a few things. First, I will be carrying a Glock 23 gen 4 or a Springfield G.I. Model 1911. First, I can't decide on a holster. I have it narrowed down to either a Crossbreed Supertuck, or a Comptac Minotaur Spartan. Is there any significant difference in quality between the two? Next I am wondering about ammo. I know JHP is a good idea, but what kind? I have Federal Hydrashok JHP and have heard good things about them, and my weapons eat them up just fine, but just wondering if there are better alternatives like Speer Gold Dot etc. Another thing I am curious about is a good way to carry a spare magazine (or two). I am NOT trying to get into the debate on weather you should, or shouldn't carry spare ammo or not, I have decided that I am going to, just wanting to figure out if just throwing it in a pocket is good enough, or if getting a pouch for belt wear is better (and if so, what pouch). Lastly, from what I have read it is a good idea to get a good belt for CCW use. What is a good belt that won't break the bank? I know Crossbreed and Comptac make some, but I also saw some Blackhawk! leather belts that were less expensive.
Thanks in advance!
