After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "Closing Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB Shoulder holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my Pocket Holster. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an Pistol Magazine. It was $80 and it came in a week. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.

One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon Shoulder holster is subpar, IMO.

AR-15 Magazines

I’ve checked with distributors and at your web site and the only versions I see of your SS AR mags are with CS springs. Is there an option to order them with SS springs?? I know you guys are slammed right now and don’t expect an immediate response but I’d sure like to add to my AR-15 Magazines "collection" if I can get "maintenance free" mags (SS bodies and SS springs). Thanks for providing the products and services that you do.

Trijicon

The eye relief on this scope is in my opinion the largest benefit. I shoot NTC and the smaller FOV (19.3 at 100) makes the BAC real easy to use. I also find the smaller FOV, eye relief, and overall small diameter of this ACOG to be REAL nice in keeping the sight picture concise and my Trijicon Trijiconsurroundings unobstructed. Comparatively, the TA11 now seems WAY too heavy and the TA31 feels like my eyeball has to molest the scope from 1.5" out to maintain a sight picture. The small overall size and extra 0.4" of eye relief makes all the difference in the world. I’m now spoiled.

Safariland Holsters

Thanks for that info. I wouldn’t expect them to be of poor quality based on everything I’ve read about RC here and elsewhere. The wings are a newer option. Before it was the clips attached to the main holster which I believe is still an option. Having the safariland tactical holsters farther out might help spread the weight and get the clips out of the way and by making the wings flexible will allow for it to adjust to curvature of different body shapes better than if the wings were made of the same material as the holster itself. More good innovation from RC.

After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "Closing Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB Pocket Holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my pants. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an Safariland Holsters. It was $80 and it came in a Pistol Magazine. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.

One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon design is subpar, IMO.

 

Dead…. personally, I see no need to spend that kind of money nor wait that long for a holster.

There’s nothing the least bit subpar about the cowboy holsters in my use; I LOVE it. And the $25 price! And the immediate availability!

The BareAsset does exactly what I want it to do and I am "barely" aware that I’m even carrying…. which is the main complaint I have with so many holsters that feel like you’re wearing some sort of a heavily built orthopedic device or something. At $25 and immediate shipping, the BareAsset holds my gun at a nice cant, just behind my hip, securely, comfortably, and effectively. I’m a very happy camper with them!

Leave the gun in it at night for awhile before using a gun holster? When I was a kid we used to tie a mitt around a baseball and soak it in water. Have no idea if it really did anything.

I bought one galco Pocket Holster that I have had for awhile and the pistol holster still won’t come out of the holster without a God awful yankhttp://www.ar15.com/images/pixels/clear.gif

Colorado: State proposal pushes fee onto gun buyers
Gov. Bill Ritter’s proposal to make gun buyers pay for their own criminal background checks hit a snag Thursday when Republicans on the Joint Budget Committee refused to support it. The proposal might not go far after that, said Rep. Jack Pommer, the committee’s chairman. Ritter, a Democrat, in August proposed a number of measures to help balance the budget in the current fiscal year that ends in June. Included in those items was a proposal to impose a $10.50 fee on gun purchases to pay the cost of criminal background checks, which the state currently covers.

Taurus magazines

The .500 S&W produced by Taurus magazines are few and far between these days and appear to be discontinued in their product line. I have searched for one for some time and I’m thinking those that have them will hang on to them…but checks here on the E&E and gunbroker.com may find one.

I think you’ll only get into the 8" model in the Taurus magazines .500.

As an aside, I own every 6.5" Tracker model produced (not including any custom guns) by taurus, 6 weapons in all, and they are fine revolvers. Many will discount the maker based on earlier experiences but their manufacturing processes and customer service have improved temendously.

Walther Magazines

Well, my S&W PPK is rather picky about ammo, and moody on occasion to boot. As previously stated, they do like to run wetter than you think they ought to be.

Don’t buy into the "no JHP ammo" stuff; Walther Magazines extended the beavertail and re-angled the feed ramp to suit american hands and preferences.

The best ball round in "my" PPK has been Walther Magazine, with the WinClean being preferred. My pistol hates AE with a passion, and will FTF and do other wonky things. But it loves Federal Personal Defense. Usually it likes Remington 88gr JHPs, and for about 100 rounds it loved Wolf, after which it promptly went to FTF every second round. My wife calls the thing "the princess" for that reason.

The moral of the story is that they’re picky. As the springs wear in, the preference may change. Buy a box of each, try them all, shoot the ones that work. When they stop working, shoot a mag from each of your other boxes, and keep shooting the one it likes now.

AR-15 Magazines

I was in the CProducts sight ordering the 30 round stainless AR-15 mags when I saw the big question: "Black follower" or "Orange follower" ? Geees…decisions, decisions. I want the CProducts improved follower. Is that the orange one?

I couldn’t find any info on their AR-15 Magazines (maybe it’s there but I just didn’t look in the right place?) I called them but the phone rings and rings and there was no answer. No biggie considering it’s the dawn of the Obama-ju-mama era, and they must be EXCEEDINGLY BUSY!

Also, would the 30 round stainless CProducts mag parts interchange with my old Colt ar-15 aluminum magazines (with black follower) in the event of a SHTF emergency?

Beretta Magazines

Shoot normal ammo & change the Beretta Magazine spring every couple thousand rounds or so & this gun will be shot by your grand-kids with the same accuracy as you get now."

Very sage advise. Couldn’t have said it better myself. The Beretta Magazines 92 is NOT a delicate, dainty firearm. They work and work well, period.

Plus - magazines are cheaper, and recently flooded the EE. Parts are pretty easy to find. Since it’s not uber-tacticooool like it was in the late 80s, used ones are really reasonable.

My spare parts kit for my Beretta Magazines are, trigger return springs, mainsprings, recoil springs, a locking block, spare barrel, a couple of grip screws and grip panels. I’ve only had to replace one trigger spring, and that was after shooting ~1200 rounds Egyptian SMG/FMJ ammo through it at after 5500 rounds.

I read this article about the reliability back when it was published

Trijicon

At 3X30, the magnification is supreme for Trijicon Minute of Man shooting and my eyes adjust quickly using the BAC. The glass is perfect as you’d expect from Trijicon. For testing I used a different lower than pictured…one with a Geissele trigger so right off my 3 shot groups were 1.5MOA using 62gr SS109. This gun shoots 1/2 MOA easy so I just need to spend more than 1 box of ammo and practice some.

Fobus holsters

By the way, if you can’t draw the gun out of a fobus, what are you doing with a gun anyways?

Do you people carry in your Tactical holster?

The recall, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, involves about 3,200 units with leather or plastic retention straps less than an inch wide. The revolver holsters are inscribed with "GL 2*EMZ," "FOBUS HOLSTERS" and "Made in Israel." They were sold at gun accessory retailers nationwide and on the Fobus Web site between March 2002 and March 2003 for about $40 to $45.

I had picked up a Fobus holster as a knock-around range Bianchi Shoulder holsters. I wasn’t looking to draw quickly from it. I only got it to carry the gun so I wouldn’t have to leave my spare on the range booth’s counter. Like coltshorty14, the Fobus I had wouldn’t let go of the pistol holster . I had to push the pistol to the side, against the revolver holsters, to get it to release. I couldn’t get rid of that holster fast enough. -Since that time I have heard of many instances of the plastic ripping around the rivets…

YMMV, but from what I have seen, Fobus holsters are the poorest quality, mass produced revolver holsters on the market. There are plenty of quality Kydex Bianchi Shoulder holsters out there and there’s a reason Fobus costs half as much as those ankle holster.

Cowboy Holsters

User Info IM User Email User Reply Quote Report

No more fobus for me. This is the second time I’ve had problems with their design. I was using the recalled roto holster with the hard plastic strap on my Glock cowboy holsters with M3 light on a warrant service. Had the guy on the ground and started to Blackhawk Holster. At the last minute I noticed that hard plastic thumb break had slipped into the trigger guard. I almost shot a hole in my leg. Got the replacement holster and it has worked fine.

Today I picked up a new fobus revolution Handgun Holsters for my Kimber. I get it home and try it out. The Kimber slid in with a loud click and it was in there for good. I couldn’t get it back out. The instructions say you have pull it straight up with force. Well that’s no good for anyone in a dangerous situation where a quiet and slow draw may be necessary. The Fobus guys just don’t think things through. Oh and I couldn’t get the Kimber out till I loosened the tension screw so much till the gun Holsters just slid out without any resistance. Back to the gun shop it goes.

Ah, whatever. I’m just annoyed that I had to spend ammo money on another holster. I’ll get over it…

rtunately had problems with ripping the rivets out of the plastic. Also have one of the recalled Handgun Holster and contacted Fobus holster about a replacement, but never received a replacement holster.
