Whatever you do don't post anything bad about the economy, bush, the dollar, the FED or Iraq over there...

Honestly you can find better information elsewhere... besides with the resident gun nuts here (myself included) there isn't much you can't have answered right here at home ;)

Yeah same goes for AR15.com.... post any dissent or criticism of all thing government and you'll get a mouthful from every Tom Dick and Charlie in the place.

To them, everything is just peachy when it comes to government. Gubberment is just a big friendly fuzzy teddy bear always doing what's best for you.

OK sir, riddle me this. I am gonna get a Glock 30 and was wondering what kinda holster to get for it. I want an IWB holster and was looking at this one:

http://www.kramerleather.com/product...GLOCK&model=30

Its pricey but I dont mind that, I just dont wanna shell out a bunch of money for crap. I was thinking of just putting it in my pocket but this holster looks great to me. Any thoughts?? Or is there another one I could use? I have a Glock 17 also at home and bought a FOBUS holster, a paddle one for the hip when I go out to the country and do my thing. Anyway, I have it on my hip and I pull it out that night and it left a big scrape down the side of my gun. I was LIVID. Ive had the thing for 8 years now and not a mark on it and I had to rub for a long time with oil to get it off. Needless to say the FOBUS is in the trash. I am trying to avoid the same problem with a holster for the Glock 30 model. Thanks for the help!

I'm going to say you can get just as good a quality out of some of the slightly less expensive makers ranging in the $60-80 range. Desantis comes to mind right off the bat.

I don't find IWB's comfortable, personally.

Don't like the fobus eh? The 'scratching' is one of the reasons why I only carry stainless finishes. I carried a USP in a fobus for several years. I've since started carrying a springfield XD in a blackhawk serpa holster. I open carry occasionally and it's nice having the retention feature. It's also alot faster than a thumb break.

A thought on carrying marks.... I was once like you, but my carry guns are meant for just that. They aren't safe queens. If they get a bit beat up or handling marks on them, it's cool now.

One option you could look at if you want very low profile and the body hugging w/o doing IWB are the bianchi belt slides. I would use one of these with my USP when i open carried or wanted better retention. about 25 bucks IIRC:

I've used it on a couple of different frames that are similar and the one for my USP fits my XD9 very well.

By the way the proper was to spell it is gLock :tongue_ma:

Have a look at F.I.S.T. holsters...

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

You may want to wait on that G30 until the G30SF hits retail if your intention is for a concealed carry pistol. Can't really make any recommendations for holsters as I am awaiting an IWB and an OWB for my G36 from Milt Sparks (26 week turnaround). I have never been a fan of the kydex holster and feel that a good firearm should be wrapped in quality leather.

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

The G30SF should fit the same holster as the G30...only difference is the back of the grip.

If the truth be known, I don't much care for leather holsters. Besides the cost, leather can rub the finish off rather quickly, if carrying for CCW it can "squeak" when you move or bend at the waist, and leather is not exactly sweat or weather friendly...I don't recommend storing a pistol in any leather holster, because chemical salts used in tanning leathers can attract moisture.

I prefer F.I.S.T.'s Ultra Thin Kydex for quiet IWB carry or even OWB...and they will make you one in any configuration you want, IWB, OWB, thumbsnap or no, eight different degrees of cant, Kydex lined leather (if you must), etc. They make it when you order it and mine took about 2 weeks...tho it looks like they are currently running longer.

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

Anyone know any good forums?

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

Well, gun nuts do tend to have opinions and you will find them everywhere. I usually don't mind strong opinions as long as they based on facts and reason, and don't devolve into ad hominem attacks--fer crying out loud people!

Try to overlook obvious Bravo Sierra...and glean any useful information.

OK, so as a gun noob, if I were to buy a shotgun, and I wanted to shoot both slugs and buckshot...

A) Buy a smooth barrel and use rifled slugs
or
B) Buy a rifled barrel because buckshot wont hurt the rifle of the barrel?

Serious question, as I am set to make a purchase and I have hear conflicting opinions.
Anyone?

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

Never seen a rifled barrel shotgun.

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

Option A. Get a 12 gauge smooth bore (ie: Remington 870) with swaged choke or screw-in chokes. Generally, if you want to shoot slugs it should have Cylinder or Improved Cylinder choke to shoot well. Shooting slugs through a Modified or tighter choke may affect group size, point of impact, increase pressures, and hence felt recoil.

Rifled shotgun barrels (ie: Hastings) are designed to shoot saboted or Foster type slugs and will usually blow the pattern if you try to shoot buckshot or birdshot.

You can always buy the 870 for shot loads and add a Hastings or similar rifled barrel to more accurately shoot slugs--although they will cost as much as the shotgun itself.

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

Very nice... Is this one of those things related to what part of the country you live in? I used to deer hunt very regularly, and here in texas I have not seen anyone hunting with slugs.

Normal artillery now days around here is a 270 or 300 win mag.

I like the Pro Stealth http://www.desantisholster.com/n87.html

I have one for my 19 and 26. Very comfortable and I don't even have to wear a belt!

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

I just got a Milt Sparks VM-2 in the mail yesterday. Had to wait 5 months, but it's an extremely comfortable IWB holster and belt.

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

When did you order yours? I placed my order around the end of Dec., so I think I should receive mine by May maybe.

Re: The Guns Network--Discussion Forums
 

The same is true with G*ocktalk.com Avoid at all costs.
