For an entry model 9mm, you'll spend under $300 and be a HP owner. I ran my 995 in a Randy class and it functioned perfectly (also available in. 40 and .45) For an upgrade from HP to a heavier duty semi auto pcc, your price point now creeps up to $600-$800 I like having my carbine in the same caliber as my handguns, I am confident with home defense and plinking, but hunting out to 30-50 yards with a pistol caliber = precise shot placement.

coolest and functional custom pocket holster

Now that's funny! -
A gjohnsoniv creation. Designed specifically for my MK9. Rough side out which doesn’t seem to make it any grippier. Smooth in makes for a nice smooth draw. Cut of the holster allows for full unobstructed grip while fully in the pocket and trigger guard is fully protected. Additionally, the holster doesn't rotate grip down in larger, fuller pockets. I don't get the L shape, but can print a triangle with above average scrutiny. Since I will be wearing a suit or sport coat 99% of the time I pocket carry, I'm golden. The hook works great. With about a 45 degree draw stroke, I've had 1 failure to grab in my first 30 practice draws. Still testing other dress pants. Errant digression...a good belt makes a difference for pocket carry too. Whether the gun is on your waist or lower, you still need to offset the sag from the weight. Be careful that not all dress slacks have large enough belt loops for gun belts, they may measure 1.5" but for a belt half the thickness. Obviously, take your dress gun belt when shopping for nice pants. Not only practical but tactical as well. BTT Reholstering is a snap, leather doesn't collapse, easy to pull out of and put into a pocket. Edge finish is superb, knowing the extra wear and tear of frequently in and out of a pocket, extra attention is evident. And the art work? Coolest ever. What you're not seeing is the hand stitching mimicking the outline of the pistol. He detailed the machining on the slide as well as the slide serrations. I'm hoping the artist will post the pics as promised.

Prag, thanks for the offer, never seriously considered pocket carry, so we never really discuss it...no harm no foul. Dolo, checked out that rig when you first posted...oone reason for pocket carry is aiwb or rather my waistband specifically is no longer gun friendly. I buy my pants 1- 2 inches bigger depending on fit, I have grown into those inches. Until I upsize or downsize, I'm avoiding any new IWB rigs. I decided to go local and have commissioned gjohnsoniv to make me one

I am fan of the N82 Tactical. Have one for my CZ 75B and P01. Very comfortable and it will not sweat through -
God offers that alternative freely to all of humanity, even to born again Catholics, like me. :-)

Where and how much? Cheapest 12 gauge target loads.

By no means an expert but I recommend a brass base. Used 2 different brands of aluminum in two training class, learned how to mortar my shotgun to remove a spent hull. No issues with brass as the gun warms up... -

During working hours, I need deep (er) concealment and do not like tuckable holsters. I discovered dress pants have reasonably deep pockets and with my quality belt, can easily carry my MK9. I need to upgrade from my Desantis Nemesis, it draws with my pistol, so it's almost a two step draw, get rig out of pocket, remove rig from pistola. Opinions welcome!

6 hour trip plus 2 - 4 hours at the dealership... Does your local BMW dealer not have exactly what you're looking for or is buying in Knox saving you 10 - 12 hours worth of price?

Hillary Clinton announced new gun-control measures
A.J. Holst replied to The Legion's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
350 million guns, all the law abiding folks legally purchase, give away their privacy in the form of universal background checks, register their weapons and...mass shootings still occur. Next step sell the fact gun laws don't keep you safe from guns, begin confiscation since you know where to look. Guv'mint being so efficient and Americans being so law abiding,the get 90%...swords into ploughshares...victory! Except for the 35 million remaining in the hands of many BGs and of course, a disarmed population, which is the end game. -
Ah, industrial military complex. Peace and Co existence is bad for business.

Just got done watching it again. Interesting factoid in the closing credit...US, China, France, Russia and the UK were (are?) the largest arms dealers in the world and permanent members of the UN Security Council...and they're focusing on my guns?

I get where Caster is coming from. In today's world, the word accident implies no fault, no bad choice or personal decision. Its use renders the terms responsibility and accountability moot.

http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/55c9fbb9e4b0923c12be0ddb Remove the word illegal and voila, no laws are broken. I am not a xenophobe, were it not for legal immigration in 1916, I wouldn't be here. If immigrants are taught the laws are flexible and selectively enforced, how does that impact assimilation into society and how it could affect next and future generations?
