Re: Houston Police Officers and Gun shows

Why is HPD now not allowed from enforcing "house rules" but Harris county sheriff allowed?

Re: More of My Thoughts On Where We Are Headed

I live in west Houston. I must admit, I am reconsidering looking at joining a militia here in Texas. There is strength in numbers with the right minded people. I had looked about a year ago and my wife didn't agree with me so the issue was dropped. Anybody have experience with some of these in Texas...

Re: OWB 1911 Commander Holster

I use a belt slide holster. I have to unholster and holster several times a day. That type holster allows me to not have to remove my holster just my weapon.

Re: What's the Origin of Your User Name?

During my time in the military, I was assigned to the !st Special Operations Squadron based at Clark AB in the Phillipines. The commander had everyone pick a nickname and we had patches with that name put on our BDU's as our name. My nickname was Gilligan.

Jak slide holster experience

Anybody have experience with the Jak belt slide holster? I am considering it for my 1911 commander. I work with children, in their homes, on the floor most times. I cannot take off my holster in the house and will take it off in the car and put it in my briefcase (holstered) and walk up to the house...

Re: carry condition one and magazine spring life

As a follow up, I have had to unload about three times since this original post ( holster shopping at various stores ) and I have noticed bullet setback even though I replaced those top rounds in my magazine. What could be causing that. The bullet set back is enough that I can measure about 1-1.5 mm...
