Awesome! Looks pretty much like longtooth's holster.
One of these days I'm going to have a Tucker HF1 rig very much like that.

How do you like their "backwards" tilt magazine pouch? It just seems odd to me.

Love the CDP with the Lasergrips. I see you got the rosewood color grips like on the Crimson Carry. I've got the "burlwood" Lasergrips on my CDP but I almost went with the rosewood, and may still switch to them someday if I get tired of the look mine has now.
More pics of this pistol would be welcome.

VERY nice 1911 there XD45.

If it gives you complete confidence that it will go "BANG" when you pull the trigger and put a hole more or less where you're aiming, that's what's important.
A pretty gun for concealed carry is really a weird concept when you think about it. No one's supposed to see it, so what's it matter what it looks like?
I ordered that one because it had the features I wanted in a carry 1911, not because of the looks. But I planned on the Lasergrips from the beginning. As I got used to looking at the CDP with the rosewood grips (something I'd never cared one way or another about in the past), I started thinking that it would be a shame to replace the pretty wood grips with black or gray plastic Lasergrips. But form follows function, and I was determined. Then Crimson Trace came out with the "Burlwood" Lasergrips and I was sold on them.

Same pistol, New pics:



Belt and Compact Undercover holster from Kirkpatrick Leather
disappears nicely under a light jacket or loose shirt/sweatshirt.
For deeper concealment, I have The Answer from Tucker Gunleather.


For all those guys who think they can't conceal a 1911, I'm 5' 7" and thought I was fat when I hit 170 pounds. I now weigh about 195.

Lovely gun. I like it. First dibs on if you sell it please

Thanks.
I plan to keep that one for a long time. I drooled over the magazine adds and catalogs for a couple years before I finally ordered one. Planned the Lasergrips from the beginning and ordered the short safety to clear them when I ordered the gun. Finally got my Lasergrips. I open-carried that pistol every day for months when I worked at the gun store though I bought it for concealed carry (thus the 3" barrel). I've used it in USPSA pistol competition in Single Stack division against full-size, steel-frame 1911s. I got it in February and have put about 1000 round through it. She's a keeper.

My Kimber Ultra CDP II now has Crimson Trace Lasergrips.

I finally got my Kimber Ultra CDP II on Monday.
I had a short trigger installed. (The trigger is a Colt because Kimber was out of stock on these forever.) And I also got a Kimber safety that's shorter on the off side, designed to clear laser grips (which I plan to add soon).
I've taken it to the range a couple times. Even shot a local USPSA match with it yesterday. I haven't seen the final score tabulation yet, but I managed to hang with the middle of the pack even with a lot of the race guns there.
One guy said, " . . . a little sawed-off 1911. You're going to have fun shooting those eight inch plates with that little short barrel."
When we got to that stage, I just took my time and aimed. Eleven shots fired, eleven plates knocked down.

That's IWB?
You a lefty?

I just got a new "go anywhere" gun, a North American Arms Pug with the Trijicon tritium sight.
It's a stainless steel, five-shot, .22 Magnum.

I've been wanting an NAA Guardian (their little semi-auto) for a couple years. I haven't paid that much attention to their mini-revolvers. I just thought they were "cute," but didn't take them seriously. I'd fondled this NAA Pug a while back. Thought it was kinda cool. Was impressed with how it disappeared into my front pocket.

I woke up in the wee hours yesterday morning and thought, "If she still has that Pug, I'm going to buy it today." So I did. This was in New Mexico, so I had to wait for her to transfer it to an FFL in Texas. That took place yesterday afternoon while I was at work. I went and picked it up this morning.

I haven't shot it yet, but here are some pics.

Sweet!
My next "serious" handgun will be a Kimber Ultra CDP II. A very similar weapon. And it will also be my first 1911.
I say that's the next "serious" piece because between now and then I'll probably get a little North American Arms Guardian for "deep" concealment, such as carrying at work when I don't want my employer to catch on.

Just today I purchased a Galco Yaqui Slide. Yeah, I know, the color doesn't match my Bianchi belt. (Held together with my TSRA Life Member belt buckle.) And the old belt is getting a little tight. (I didn't know leather would shrink like that.)
It's not very concealable. But the Smith & Wesson Sigma SW40F is too big for me to conceal well anyway. It sort of hides under a jacket, but it wouldn't really hide well unless I was wearing a heavy coat. Doesn't matter since I don't carry on me because my CHL has been expired for years. (Planning to fix that.) But it's a great pistol to carry in the vehicle.
I load the Sigma with Federal Hydra-Shok 155 gr. .40 S&W. I have ten (10) fifteen-round magazines for it (which I would never attempt to carry all at once, LOL).
