[quote name='CZ9MM' timestamp='1354125472' post='852002'] Well, I figure it would be possible to take the holster with the gun in it, slide it into your waistband, and mostly be done? This is if you are standing? [/quote] Like I said, if you're skinny. I can't suck my gut in enough. My spare mag carrier is a loop style so I've gotta take my belt off to add it anyway. Pulling the holster out is easy. Putting it back, not so much. Maybe it's just me.

[quote name='CZ9MM' timestamp='1354124876' post='851995'] It isn't so much as arming or disarming, but rather coming from an area such as work when I do not have my holster on. Many times after work I will go other places, and rather than have to loosen my belt and "arrange" everything, it would be nice to just slide the gun and holster into my pants (if the clip will hold them belt in this instance). I assume it will work great. [/quote] Unless you're really skinny and/or have very loose fitting clothes, you're gonna have to arrange everything anyway. Doing so while sitting behind the wheel is a bit of a chore.... AMHIK. One of the reasons why I pocket carry a lot.

[quote name='vontar' timestamp='1354076414' post='851767'] Today I was parked behind a smart car when I went to leave. I tried a short wheel base ranger and For a moment I thought I could almost fit that car in the back of my truck and haul it off. [/quote] An acquaintance drives a Titan, his wife a Smart car. He said he could do exactly that. It'll fit and haul the weight. [quote name='R_Bert' timestamp='1354077509' post='851781'] My mom, a substitute teacher, had a VW beetle. My friends used to pick it up and carry it off. In junior high school. [/quote] My high school band director drove a Suzuki Samurai. Routinely, we'd pick it up and turn it sideways in the parking space. Four people could do it, 6 made it easy. As a senior prank, some friends disassembled a Beetle, hauled the pieces to the gym roof (dome type building), and reassembled it on the roof all in one night.

Assuming you can find out what alloy it's make of, a gunsmith or machine shop should be able to fix it quite easily.

When you must disarm, why take the holster off? Just remove the gun and keep the holster on your belt. I have a crossbreed supertuck that I've used for years. I can probably count the number of times I've actually tucked a shirt into it without removing my shoes. Regarding the clips, they're pretty easy to get on/off and hold the holster adequately on my belt. If the holster/belt holds the butt of the gun tight to your body (doesn't hang out or flop around), then the low rider isn't going to make much difference in concealment. Mine is set fairly low, but that's for ease of draw not concealment.

I'd put up "no parking" signs, chat with the offender, and raise heck with the complex management. Some people don't know you can actually park a car in a garage, rather than just filling it up with junk.

[quote name='seez52' timestamp='1354025764' post='851264'] thanks for the feedback, this is actually going to be for a lady. Seemed to me the grip on the Smith might have been a bit smaller. Opinions on having a night sight installed? I think maybe the LCR is the only one with that option. [/quote] If it's for a lady, let her pick.

Didn't think of the thread protector. For that matter, a piece of 1/2 hose would work.

Bummer. Hope you have uninsured motorist coverage. My guess is whoever hit you has nothing for you to take.

I've shot exactly one of each and found the LCR much better. The LCR was much more comfortable to shoot and consequently I was much more accurate with it. The air-weight rubbed a blister in the web between my thumb and index finger after about 15 rds. I may have gotten a poor version of an air-weight, the trigger was beyond terrible. The long pull was expected, the 12-15lb pull weight wasn't. The LCR trigger was much lighter, smoother, and more intuitive.

HA! [img]http://media-cache-lt0.pinterest.com/upload/137078382378613650_zXsSMunZ.jpg[/img]

Could also be for a Ruger P-series. If so and you don't need/want it, lemme know.

Nice!

Awesome.

Sand will work, you've just got to be careful. What kind of finish is it? There's lots of different kinds of media, (various grits of AlOx, glass beads in various sizes, plastic media, walnut shells, etc.) If you've got no experience, you'd be well served to get a few pieces of similar metal to practice with before starting on the real thing.

Nice to meet you. I think there's at least 2 in there that will be useable.... When I get back to work, I'll dig up some info on titanium for you.

Wolf ammo is typically quite dirty with inconsistent velocity. You won't see optimal accuracy with it. Fine for plinking and blowing up melons.

I suppose I'm weird, but I don't carry around the house. So no issue with play time. I have a simple key-locked cabinet where my rifles stay (unloaded with trigger locks installed). On top of that I have an electronic pistol safe where the keys to the rifle cabinet stay along with the loaded pistols. The home defense gun moves from the safe to the drawer in the bedside table when I go to bed, and moves back to the safe when I get up. When we're out, I pocket carry most of the time. I have 2 little ones (4 & 2) and I've found my left arm gets really tired holding the little one when I've got my gun IWB on my right hip. Printing (or exposing completely) while frequently bending over is another issue. Pocket carry solves both of those problems. Granted, the .380 isn't as much firepower as the .45, but it's better than nothing and a lot more convienent. A purist might call me lazy, but it works for me and I'm good with that. Once the kiddies get bigger, I'm sure I'll belt carry more.

This doesn't really say one way or the other... http://www.tn.gov/safety/driverlicense/dlcitizen.shtml I don't know how the conditional status is distinguished from unconditional. I assume it states that on the card? Can she apply to have the conditional status removed? http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=745218a1f8b73210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=4ca43a4107083210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD [b] [/b]

[quote name='sbroomheadsr' timestamp='1353417249' post='848694'] Hey all, I swiped the "[b]Flatwoods Beast[/b]" from Dan to bring into work. i was telling them about it and they just had to see it. Now if i had a printer like in the movie Office Space, I would use the [b]Flatwoods Beast [/b]instead of a baseball bat,. Oh well... [/quote] Damn it feels good to be a gangsta!

Knives from old files was a total "duh-huh" moment for me. Titanium is tough stuff and can be very sensitive to high speed tools. We do lots of hand work on titanium, hence we wear out lots of files. So I wandered over and asked the guys what they do with worn out files... "we toss 'em in that drawer over there." BAM! [img]http://patrickleanne.smugmug.com/Other/random-stuff/i-M2spWxZ/0/L/MVC-528F-L.jpg[/img] I'll work out some way to get them to Spots.

That's not good. A friend of mine lives near there as well... on the east end of Cloud Creek Rd. Is it near there?

Ah. Knives from worn out files. I may have a source for a few of those.

Welcome!
