That's kind of brilliant. Thanks for sharing. I'm getting pretty good at reassembly, but stuff happens.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Added the EMP 3 to the collection. Training with it so it can be my EDC.

Here is my every day carry right now. It's a Fusion firearms, commander size in 45 ACP. I re-blued it back in the summer, used herters now arts Belgium Blue. So far it's the only factory gun I've had increase the trigger poundage on. It's playing card accurate.

I don’t see a tie down. Does your gun come out of the holster quickly? I’ve always wanted to try a shoulder holster and vertical is how I’d do it (so as not to flag ever single person that might end up behind me for one reason or another).

No sir, no tie down. The draw is fast because of practice and many repetitions. It is a custom holster specifically made for my 1911, however, initially the vertical alignment took some getting used to.

The best shoulder holster I ever had was a Bianchi leather rig for my Ruger Speed Six snubbie which I carried for 20 years. It was a horizontal, with the gun butt facing to the front. I literally just had to slap the holster and the gun was in my hand.

When getting "dressed up" to go to a nice restaurant. Pretty rare anymore.

Back when I would get invited to a Texas style BBQ. Now just sits on a stand on the desk.

For daily around the house/property it's whatever I grab out of the safe. No particular one but it's generally a parkerized Mil-Spec, stainless Loaded or a CMD. Today it's the CMD.

@Gunz I like your 1911.

I have owned a number of shoulder holsters. When Miami Vice was running every cop I knew ran out and got one. I mostly used them on protection details when driving the limo, or when on a seated post for long periods. Those holsters had to be snapped down for duty by policy. I do have a vertical one for my S&W 629 that I carry when hunting. I loaned shoulder holsters to female officers who were pregnant and on desk duty while they couldn't were a gunbelt.
