BALLISTIC SHIELD USER HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED TO THE DATES ABOVE!
A couple of new things for me lately. First is that my good friend Eric Gordon has started cranking out quality kydex holsters and mag pouches as a side business. http://www.orangediamondconcealment.com/
Some of you may know Eric but for those that don’t, he is an absolutely honest and diligent dude. What that means in relation to his Kydex gear is that he tirelessly improves his products and more importantly stands behind everything he makes. I have been using one of his holsters and mag pouches for about two months with great success. This has been daily carry in my job and off duty. It is comfortable and secure and they look awesome. He does custom stuff and uses a variety of colors. I have shot 3 IDPA matches, including the state championship, with his gear and it is as good as anything out there. I have a drawer full of holsters and it is on par, or better, than most gear on the market at a cheaper price.
I have also switched out my class armor to a PC only. My old Eagle CIRAS armor is on standby while I gie the Tactical Tailor plate carrier a dance. I have been thinking of switching to PC only for a while and the opportunity popped up for me to give a try. Lots of dry fire in it, but no live fire yet. I plan to get some rips in this week with it and also during the Carbine class in a few weeks.
Last new thing is that I have been testing and messing with a Trijicon RMR on my pistol. I was using a dovetail plate to mount it, but that is less than optimal. The plate is a great way to determine if you like a MRDS before you cut a gun. If you try one, you will likely want a milled slide. In short, it is badass and the benefits far outweigh the negatives. One big negative is the cost, both for the sight and for the milling. I chose Mark Housel at L&M precision because he has a great reputation for this work. He also has a great price and tons of experience. Last, I told him this was a duty gun and he promised a quick turnaround. The slide goes out today and I will post again about the quality and throw some pics on the fb page when I get it back. Based on photos and reviews of Marks work, I’m sure it will be outstanding. I will have it back for the upcoming tactical pistol class to wring it out and let students give it a try. http://www.landmprecisiongunworks.com/
