Excellent video! That is the 'smoking gun' so to speak

The one thing that I really found interesting though (and what really answers my original question) is how quickly in the process the bullet exits the barrel... good stuff.

Thanks for the links and info... those belts at http://www.thebeltman.net/bullhide.htm look great. Of course, the only concealed carry holster/belt configuration I've considered so far involves an un-tucked shirt so I guess the asthetics of the belt don't really count for much... but I'm still early...

I've found that if I don't have the support of a good gunbelt, a couple of things happen in fairly short order. I don't mean to hi-jack the thread, but when you say 'gunbelt', are you referring to a specific type of belt (assumed to be more rigid) made to work with concealed holsters? I've seen the...

No truer words have been said hah! And I really am happy with the XD.

I too did some searching on youtube but couldn't find any good slow motion video showing the bullet leaving the barrel. But even in the video that boomerang just posted, the muzzle flash occurs before the barrel seems to move by any perceptible amount (that I can tell anyway). Anyway, thanks for the...

Question for the gun scientists (or maybe it's just a dumb question and I don't know). Does a 9mm round exit a 3 inch barrel before any movement occurs with the slide/barrel? As I understand a closed breach system, locks the barrel to the slide during the initial stages of the bullet being fired, at...

Yeah, I was pleseantly surprised at how quick the status changed. My guess is it's a result of the DPS trying to do the right thing and increase 'processing output' based on the increased demand. And yet again, in direct conflict with my better judgement, I did check again today :mrgreen: , and it s...

I am an August applicant, just mailed my application on Thursday (overnight), and saw via USPS tracking that it was delivered on time on Friday.... So, of course.... I immediately check the DPS website to see a change in status :smilelol5: but as expected it still said, Application mailed. And of co...

Yeah, as others have suggested, I guess this is a good time to experiment with holsters and carrying around the house. I also want to find some info on a local defensive handgun class in the Dallas area. If anyone has any knowledge of a good class/instructor, please post back (although I probably sh...

I just sealed the envelope on my packet and will be mailing it from the post office tomorrow. It's a nice feeling to get everything accomplished so far, including documentation on an arrest in my past for a traffic ticket warrant :nono: ! And now.... I guess I'll sit back, relax and wait. Can someon...

Interesting, thanks for the response. I guess it's just up to the individual county/city to determine the policy for fullfilling these types of requests. I did have to pay a fee as well (money order or cashiers check form), and provide a copy of my DL, along with a self addressed stamped envelope fo...

Hello TexasCHLForum! I've been visiting this site for a while now, but have just now registered. There is a lot of great information exchanged here, and I've really appreciated/benefited from it and I only hope I can add something from my own experiences (I'm still in the 'early' processes of gettin...
