I've always been a revolver guy. I was talking to my buddy at work, and told him that I switched from my .38 to a .45 with the cold weather and the bulkier clothes that go with it. My friend understands my love of revolvers enough that he looked at me crosseyed and asked "you're not carrying that blackhawk as a carry gun are you?" I answered, "nope, I've crossed over to the dark side and have started carrying my 1911". My friend, who has always tried to get me to buy a glock just looked at me and said - "Dude, you're carrying a gun that was invented over a hundred years ago, and think that makes you modern? Welcome to the 20th century, 10 years into the 21st"


Geez, and I thought using one of these bottom feeding things would give me some style points and make me younger.

On this note, anyone got a good recommendation for a holster? I'm using a Fobus adjustable paddle and a Galco Matrix and don't really like either. The Fobus seems to stick out and wobble on my hip (I carry at around 3:30 to 4:00) and the Matrix allows the muzzle to dig into my seat cushions as a result of the low profile and open muzzle.

Tuna, I'm not cool either transport my handgun in a fanny pack. I'm told they aren't in fashion.

Well Tuna... I like using my Serpa holster from Blackhawk when carrying any of my full size blasters... but for my more compact carry guns, I like the JIT Slide by Don Hume... I have several as they are form fit leather for all the popular handguns... I carry a G39 as my everyday gun.

Good luck,

I carry a Glock 21 in a Fobus paddle holster and am quite comfortable either OC or CC with it.

I just ordered a 3.1 from JMG holsters. It is an IWB with a snap (clips or offset available) and so far it is great. It keeps the gun close to my side, but the sweatshield keeps the hammer from rubbing my love handles raw (so to speak).
It isn't form fit, but was very reasonable for price and seems to be decent quality.



And just to say on topic - I just picked up my "new" shotgun. A Stevens model 520 (old style so circa 1920) that I'm looking for a new barrel to cut down and make into my traveling / HD shotgun.
