Many of you remember me posting on the 4th of July about the jet ski accident my friend had http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/general-off-topic/42601-horrible-accident-today.html so I just wanted to give you an update on his progress. He was in the hospital for over a month before he was discharged. He's been at home for a few weeks now and he is doing great. I went to see him today for his birthday party and he was the same exact guy as before. His only permanent injuries is the loss of vision in his right eye and all the titanium plates in his head. He doesn't have any brain damage and for the most part seems perfectly normal. He is so fortunate that his injuries were not worse. Losing an eye is horrible but considering he is lucky to be alive I think he's doing just fine. If my cousin had not pulled him from the lake he wouldn't even be here with us today. He has already been discharged from physical therapy and finally after TWO MONTHS got his neck brace taken off. The docs even told him he could go back to work whenever he wants. His last step is some rehab to make sure he can drive a car safely. I want to thank everyone for the prayers and encouraging words. And also thanks to all the PM's I received.

It feels so good to teach a new person how to shoot. I've only been shooting for about a year and since then all of my friends both guys and girls have wanted to go shooting. It's been a really nice experience.

Now you just need to teach your son the different Glock models. That would really impress the officer. If he was a state trooper it was probably a G31 or 32 right?

What's your primary carry gun going to be?

:threadhijacked:

Mike I'm surprised you didn't tell them how my friend was a better shot than me!! Thanks for letting us shoot today!

Guys I went up to Desert Rat's place in Grainger County. I was worried the range would be busy since it's a holiday weekend. My friend that has never shot before ended up not going, he had family issues. But my other friend joined me and shot really well. Don't believe anything Desert Rat tells you guys BTW

always good advice. Thanks Mike. I just don't want to be a hard ass on them, but also want to be safe.

I'm taking some friends shooting tomorrow. 1 has never shot a gun before and the other has shot a few times. I want to make sure that safety is the #1 issue and then technique. Does anyone have advice on how to teach them. I want to be stern with them but also want them to enjoy it too. We will be shooting pistols mainly.

Mike...you are my mentor!

are you saying which one would i chose? Probably the Supertuck because I paid more for it.

Well if it makes you feel any better I have money invested in both!!

My dad has one and I've shot it quite a bit. I agree with everything you said except for the trigger. To me it felt cheap and gritty. Overall though it's a nice gun and very accurate.

yes I am serious. Have you shot the LCP? Stiff recoil, long trigger pull, terrible sights.....I think I would be better off just throwing the gun at the bad guy instead of trying to shoot at them. Maybe I was just spoiled by my p238 though? If you want to try the Kholster out just PM me your address and I'll ship it to you. Try it as long as you want and ship it back when you're ready. Or if you end up loving it then I'll sell it to you for a good deal.

dear lord don't get the LCP.... I think I would rather have a squirt gun in my pocket. Same size only the squirt gun is more accurate. Drew did you see my post about borrowing the Khoslter?

this is awesome! I can't wait to have kids that I can turn into shooting buddies!

hahaha Mike, I knew you would comment on that! I didn't feel like taking pictures so I just stole some off the net! Thanks for calling me out on it

yes I believe you are correct that the leather is thicker and probably better quality. I don't want to convince anyone to buy 1 vs the other because both are a good choice and both are very comfortable. I just think the Kholster provides better value. Good luck!

Drew they have gotten a little quicker recently. Maybe demand has dropped. I received mine in about 10 days. If you want, ill let u try out my kholster for few weeks. It will fit your 23 perfectly. I'm curious how comfortable it will be for a bigger guy than myself

After using a Kholster to carry my Glock 19 for a few months I began searching for a more comfortable IWB holster. There wasn’t anything wrong with the Kholster but I figured I could find something more comfortable while sitting or driving. I should mention that I did my own combat cut to the Kholster which can sacrifice comfort. I settled on the Crossbreed Supertuck as my choice after reading all the great reviews about it. I opted for the cowhide black with the combat cut. I'll break the results down by category. Comfort: In an effort to keep this as short as possible I’m just going to say that I can’t notice any difference in comfort between the Kholster and the Supertuck so it’s safe to say I’m a little disappointed considering the price difference between the two. I read where several people said they forgot they were even carrying when wearing the Supertuck, maybe that was true for them but definitely not for myself.This one is a draw. Ease of concealment: This area is also a draw. Both holsters have options to make the gun ride higher or lower on your body. After I adjusted both to ride a little lower my G19 is well concealed. I have not noticed a difference in printing in either holster. Quality: I have to give the Supertuck the upper hand in this area. The leather seems to be of better quality (I know nothing about leather though) and the clip/screw system is a better design. The screws on my Kholster are constantly coming loose. I have to tighten them every time I use the holster. Appearance: This one is easy, just look at the pictures. Supertuck hands down though neither are much to look at. Value: The Kholster is the clear choice IMO. At $49 with free shipping I think it’s a good deal. I don’t regret spending that much. I wish I could say the same thing for the Supertuck. Even after my NRA discount it still cost nearly $80. I think the Supertuck should be priced around $55 considering the simplicity of it. I bet it doesn’t cost much more to manufacture the ST than it does the Kholster. I should also mention that Kholster does a sale around tax time that gives you %20-25 off your purchase. Warranty: Both companies offer a limited lifetime warranty in the event that the product is defective. Crossbreed offers a 2 week trial period where Kholster offers a 90 day trial period. Because of this I have to give this area to Kholster. Summary: While both holsters are a good choice I just can’t see myself buying another Supertuck. It provides the same comfort as its competitor at almost twice the price. Maybe the Supertuck will last longer and the quality is a little better but I don’t feel it’s worthy of the price. I think I’ll either stay in the $50 price range for holsters or one day bite the bullet and get a nice quality holster by DM Bullard or something similar. If you don’t mind the steep price tag then the Supertuck is still a good holster and I imagine it will last for years but I personally don’t see much advantage over the Kholster. Your mileage may vary.

Congratulations Dustin! !! Very happy for you! 2 things, lets go shooting soon and when u get some extra cash u should take your carry permit class!

I was thinking the same thing as Garufa. Movie night anyone?

ouch, I still don't understand why you wouldn't wear a seatbelt no matter where you are sitting. It's just stupid. If you go through all the trouble to carry a gun for protection why wouldn't you buckle up? (kb, not talking about you specifically, just ppl in general)

apparently not?

I voted no because I don't normally but I have occasionally. Even though I don't carry there is always a gun within arms reach.
