When the Western Holster first came out I thought the 360 degree adjustability feature would be worthwhile as I was spending 3 1/2 to 4 hours twice a week on a commute to work in another city and I wanted something I could adjust to work for a seated car position.

BIANCHI HOLSTERS

In 1958 John Bianchi had a vision of what he thought a duty holster should be and set out to develop a line of products that carried out that vision. Since that time almost 50 years ago, Bianchi Sholder holsters, belts and accessories have been used in police, military and sporting applications the world Gun holsters.

The world is changing and we are very aware of that at Bianchi Holsters International, which is why our product line continues to evolve to keep pace with today’s customer demands. We are continuously researching new materials, developing new designs and entire new product lines to meet these changing Pistol Magazines.

Tactical holsters

I just purchased a new Fobus HK1 for my new USPc. Fobus has done some improvements; this new holster is more substantial than my old one, yet is just as light and Tactical holsters.

If you’ve tried a Fobus and didn’t like it, then fair enough. But if you’re simply parroting what you’re read here and elsewhere, do us all a favor and don’t pontificate on a topic of which you have no personal knowledge.

There is obviously something wrong with me, because from what I saw in the video looked as if

it took Two men, the fat one doing the most work, to break the holster.

If someone is trying to get your Pistol Magazines, the first reaction would not be to try and push Tactical holsters

gun clear off of your body, and I understand that you guys think that this man was trying to leather shoulder holster

his gun in his holster, but the bad guy isn’t going to be able to break it off like that unless

you help him.

The fatass in the video probably never wore a revolver holsters before and shouldn’t anymore unless

the rest of you would feel safe letting him help bad guys steal guns from him.

Duh. Get a clue and look closer.

Microsoft finds perfect Windows 7 metaphor with a 7-patty Whopper
Via the Daily Mail: Burger King has released a gut-busting seven-patty Whopper to mark the release of Windows 7. In what may be the most bizarre cross-promotional campaign ever, Microsoft linked up with the fast-food chain to create the ‘Windows 7 Whopper.’ I guess they figure anyone dumb enough to eat this will also buy Windows 7.

kpel308,

Got any salt?

The Fobus HK1 for my USPc .45 doesn’t hold the gun securely. Every other Fobus I’ve used held the gun positively against negative G; IOW, if you fell on your back, etc, the gun would stay put. A determined tug was necessary to release it.

Not this one; you can now ease the gun out with two fingers on the butt. Obviously, that’s a no-go. The first few days it was fine; perhaps something is wrong with it, after a couple of hundred presentations. Oh, well…

I ordered a Kramer this afternoon.

BTW, I’ve been toting for 28 years; 226 days till retirement. I’ve come full circle: from using "common" Leather Holsters as a rookie, to discovering custom stuff, then the Fobus, and now back to custom.

And THAT Pistol Magazine about the best summation of the situation I’ve ever read. Good post, Barry.

I realize I’m digging up a corpse that is better left buried, but all the "experts" on these boards just wear me out at times. I’ve carried a G19 in a Fobus GL2 professionally for over seven years. I’ve snagged it on door cowboy holster, car doors, etc., numerous times; it is still quite serviceable, thank you.

AR-15 Accessories

I’m completely and absolutely new to the AR-15 model rifle, and I only own a German K98k.

I’m looking into getting once of these magnificent firearms, but I have no idea as to where to start, can you help a clueless newbie?

I’m trying to get one before the price goes up anymore that they already have, but I’m not looking to spend a ton.

thanks in advance.

That being said, I have a midlength gas system on my 6.8 AR15 accessories SPR.

Rifle Scopes

I ‘m in total agreement with you about not having this scope made in China Rifle Scopes. I’m a firefighter, I don’t build scopes. It was never my intention to go thru all the time money and frustration Ive been thru in trying to get this reticle into a good quality scope. I have offered to license this reticle to just about every one of the scope manufactures that make good quality tactical scopes. All of them, I say again all of them have turned my offer down. Even Millett was not interested in marketing the CRS under their company. Instead Millett Rifle scopes took the concept of the CRS and sold it as the rfp circle dot DMS-1.
US Optics could have made the 1×4 or 1.5×6 version of the CRS but I wasn’t satisfied with their illumination system plus a couple of other factors kept me from going with them.

leather shoulder holster

As for the repeated referrals to that video… if you THINK about it for a minute, you’ll realize the absurdity of the premise. The Fobus paddle holsters is meant to be CONCEALED… i.e., if somebody makes a grab for your leather shoulder holster, then you don’t know how to keep it hidden.

Here’s a news flash for all you "badged" (CCW permit) guys who don’t carry for a living; if the grabber is bigger and/or stronger than you, he WILL get your shit, regardless of WHAT holster you’re wearing, unless you make him disengage with a Plan B. We have seen this time and again in officer survival training.

So sit there behind your ‘puter, with your smug attitude, secure in the knowledge that your $150 custom leather or Kydex revolver holsters is better than my cheap little Fobus. You see, I’ve been where you are, and had a box full of custom Leather Holster that began gathering dust once I discovered the Fobus. I used to sneer at ankle holster too; until a colleague shamed me into trying one.

AR-15 Accessories and Parts

Sorry, this is not correct. The AR-15 SPR absolutely does indeed use a rifle length gas system.

As far as us ‘enthusiasts’ know, the military has not adopted the mid system in any form yet.

Certainly not in the SPR.

I’m sure some more experienced folks might have more info on this though…

for an 18" build, the one advantage I give the mid and why I have them, is that I personally think that it balances out the gas system better to have AR-15 accessories inches of barrel in FRONT of the gas port rather than ~4.

we had a thread on this before regarding dissapators and gas systems.

The SPR uses a rifle length gas system. Just look at the post by Milla here, you can clearly see the gas tube extending past the KAC rails.

Battle lines forming in Chicago handgun case
The Sacramento Bee today reports that Sacramento’s City Council has voted to join other cities arguing in support of Chicago’s right to regulate the posssesion and use of firearms. Other cities invited to file briefs supporting Chicago include Baltimore, Cleveland, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. Sacramento City councilman Kevin McCarty, who supports the city’s involvement in the case, told the Bee that guns “are most likely to be used by assailants or people who shouldn’t have guns in the first place.” But there is plenty of firepower on the other side of the case.

Glock 36 magazines

own a G20, 21, 22, & 23, developed the Glock 36 magazines, and have a huge amount of experience with Glocks and I doubt that he’d need any of those because:

1st - He doesn’t need and may not want a ported barrel because the soot from firing it blackens his front sight with one.

2nd - Dual recoil springs in a G35 are both un-necessary and unwise as they upset the slide timing.

3rd - He already has extended controls because the Glock 36 magazine comes stock with a 3.5# connector, an extended Slide Stop Lever, and an extended Magazine Catch.

What he needs is mags and ammo and if he doesn’t have them yet, a good set of night sights. I recommend TruGlo TFOs. They are a bit spendy at $100/set but worth every penny.

BTW: THIS is a truly ‘Tricked Out Glock’. It cost too much but for a 1st ever G20/21L, its worth every penny to me.

Para ordnance p14 magazines

I waited weeks for this gun to come in. I even ordered an extra 50 dollar mag right off the bat. It finally arrives and I do a good fluff and buff and head off to the range with 300 rounds of various .Para ordnance p14 magazines and FMJs. This 900+ dollar gun is a total jam-o-matic. I am bummed and pretty pissed. I would expect this performance from a Taurus but not Para ordnance p14 magazine. I almost got the baby eagle .45 instead and right now Im wishing I did. After the first trip out, yes I did strip it down and detail clean it and all that. Next trip out, same thing. Totally unreliable. I am going to call Para customer service tomorrow and see what they say. Until then two thumbs down on this one.

Ruger magazines

How to determine if your pistol needs the retrofit: All LCP pistols bearing prefix “Ruger magazine” (that is, serial number 370-xxxxx) may be affected. Newly manufactured and retrofitted “370” prefix LCP pistols with the new hammer mechanism installed have been marked with a diamond in the flat portion of the slot just behind and below the hammer as show to the right. Going forward, new pistols will be marked with the serial number prefix “371” (serial number 371-xxxxx). Pistols with the “Ruger magazines” prefix are not affected.

Browning hi power magazine

Although it would seem not as ’in demand’ as the Government Model the Browning hi power magazine 1900 pistol magazine Hi-Power has remained a popular offering through our shop. Still an extremely viable weapon system, even in stock form the Hi-Power offers a very attractive blending of size, weight, concealability, and of course a healthy payload of ammo. And for those who favor a 9mm there really may be no better platform for a carry gun… but, despite being lauded by many as “Browning hi power magazines masterpiece”, the guns aren’t exactly perfect from the factory. Many users find the stock sights too small, the thumb safety less than optimal, the hammer a bit too nippy, and the trigger simply not as useable as the Browning’s other jewel the 1911. But at Heirloom Precision we’ve got a little something that addresses all that and more… the SRT conversion.

CZ 75 magazines

A friend bought two boxes of WWB 9mm FMJ for me since I was broke and we went to the range. The CZ 75 magazines didn’t hiccup once. His PA-63 (9mm Makarov) was… interesting. The recoil drives the thing right into the web of your hand. Shoot it often enough and I can see some chafing occurring.

As for accuracy, I seemed to consistently hit about six inches low and to the left at 15 yards, though occasionally I was spot on. I think most of that was me and not the pistol though; my groupings were more like shotgun patterns. I am NOT at all in practice with handguns of any category. Fortunately, I’ve always been able to hit what I aim for (even drew my dad’s .357 revolver, cocked it, and put a round through a hog’s head at ten yards all in one motion. Without aiming.), and when I begin ranger training we’re going to spend a lot of time at the range with our handguns.

Overall, I’m pleased with my CZ 75 magazine. My only complaint is that the beavertail pattern on the plastic grip plates chafes my hand; I either need to toughen up my hands or get hard rubber grip plates. I don’t like the Hogue wrap-around grip.

Beretta 92 Magazine

‘ve been looking for a blued Beretta 92 Magazine (80’s production). I have read reports and "talk" about the locking block being prone to breakage. I’m not a high volume shooter and have always been interested in getting a Beretta 92F.

I’d like some feedback from users here about there first hand experience with the Beretta 92 Magazines. I’m not looking for a pistol that will last 100,000. I just need to know that it won’t have a cracked slide or something after a thousand rounds.

he locking block issues seem to only occur with VERY high volume shooters, and even then it’s not like it’s super common.
If the beretta couldn’t go 1,000 rounds without failures, the army wouldn’t be issuing them to their special forces, PERIOD. Beretta’s have a good reputation for reliability, buy with confidence
