Cowboy Holsters

User Info IM User Email User Reply Quote Report

No more fobus for me. This is the second time I’ve had problems with their design. I was using the recalled roto holster with the hard plastic strap on my Glock cowboy holsters with M3 light on a warrant service. Had the guy on the ground and started to Blackhawk Holster. At the last minute I noticed that hard plastic thumb break had slipped into the trigger guard. I almost shot a hole in my leg. Got the replacement holster and it has worked fine.

Today I picked up a new fobus revolution Handgun Holsters for my Kimber. I get it home and try it out. The Kimber slid in with a loud click and it was in there for good. I couldn’t get it back out. The instructions say you have pull it straight up with force. Well that’s no good for anyone in a dangerous situation where a quiet and slow draw may be necessary. The Fobus guys just don’t think things through. Oh and I couldn’t get the Kimber out till I loosened the tension screw so much till the gun Holsters just slid out without any resistance. Back to the gun shop it goes.

Ah, whatever. I’m just annoyed that I had to spend ammo money on another holster. I’ll get over it…

rtunately had problems with ripping the rivets out of the plastic. Also have one of the recalled Handgun Holster and contacted Fobus holster about a replacement, but never received a replacement holster.

Sig sauer magazines

I’m not real happy right now. I literally just walked in the door from the range. Out of 102 rounds I fired with my new Sig sauer magazines I had 96 failures to extract.

I was shooting S&B and my carry load. Both had FTEx. The pistol was also dropping the brass from the last round in a magazine and leaving the brass resting on top of the empty mag.

Pistol was cleaned and lubed before heading out. I soaked the extractor in CLP at the range and cleaned it there. That didn’t make any difference in the frequency of FTEx.

This is a real disappointment for me. I really, really like the way the P250 feels and points. The trigger was fine and for the 6 times the pistol actually functioned as a auto-loader follow-up shots seemed to be fast. I was hoping that this was going to be my new carry pistol, but that isn’t going to happen until it’s fixed.

Obviously, I’ll be calling Sig sauer magazine tomorrow and sending it back to them for repair/replacement.

Eotech

FWIW, Van, I talked to Russ McCallester (his phone number is listed under "Contacts" on EOTech’s site), a factory contact a couple of weeks ago. He answered the first time I called. I had similar questions, more related to a magnifier mount that would line up behind a 512 and still clear a BUIS (Troy). I have a LaRue upper, and the 512 will mount farther forward because the quad rail doesn’t stick up as high as your handguard. Russ told me to keep an eye on EOTech site in 2009. He couldn’t tell me anymore, but that leads me to believe that there are more mounting options coming for magnifiers and holosights. Maybe I just got lucky that Russ was near his phone when I called, buy you gotta remember that since November 4th, everyone in the firearms and accessories industry is extremely busy. They’re burning it at both ends. Heck, you mentioned LaRue’s legendary customer service. It’s still great, but 6 months ago I could call up with an order or a question and have a 5-minute BS session with whoever answered the phone. Now they don’t have time for that, because they’ve got a million other things to do. Just bear in mind that all these guys are working hard to make sure that we’re getting what we want, but there are only so many hours in the day.

Pistol Magazines

Most of my shooting Pistol Magazines have been with Glocks. Though I love them, I’m living in Washington now, so I’d like something I can just go up some dirt road and let a few rounds go.

Its just a plinking gun, so cheap ammo is a plus. If I do go with the Pistol Magazine, I’ll probably pick up the Tac65 suppressor to go with it.

Any reason I shouldn’t get one?
Any recommendations on where to order?(not interested in the package with the suppressor, I’ll be picking up the suppressor a little later)
Good recommendations on ammo? I hear the CCI High Velocity work well, and are cheap.
Is getting the laser worth it? Can it be seen during the day?

Rifle Scopes

In my opinion, you would have to really NEED *that reticle*
to justify the extra cost for just an OK piece of glass that typically
runs $260.00

Having owned and sold 2 DMS 1’s and a CRS, let me point out a few critical differences aside from just the reticule. Although made by Millet Rifle Scopes and housed in a DMS body, the CRS is an FFP scope so the ranging and BDC Rifle Scopes works at any magnification, the size of the reticule adjusting accordingly.
It has a much bigger eyebox and better eye relief than the DMS 1, again by virtue of it’s FFP design. I got rid of my DMS’s ) because it felt as though if i moved my eye 1/4" in any direction off centerline to the scope it would black out. The result was slower on target times with the DMS than the rifle scope. ( and i do have a very consistant cheekweld, thankyou )
This made it more effective as a red dot-ish scope at 1X on targets more than 10 ft away than the DMS. At 4X the reticule comes into it’s own, the ranging and BD adjustments are incredibly intuitive.

Although they were made by Millet , Ed is a stand up American who’s trying to realise his dream. Read the whole thread referenced above for some insight.

Glock 17 magazines

MO ,Just more complexity to potentialy cause problems,loose pins etc.

Besides,how could Glock 17 magazines do this without closing off the backstrap channel?Everyone knows that must remain open in order for a Glock to function properly!

If glock wants to follow the lead of other manufacturers, whose current designs more than likely will not even be on the market in ten years ,I think it would be a mistake!

If you cannot adjust to the Glock 17 magazine ergos the way they are ,you have lots of other choices.

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.

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.

Unlike LaRue who ALWAYS answers their phone, I called Eotech to ask this question, but got nothing but a bunch of voice mail answering machines. Maybe somebody will eventually call back…….when I’m either sitting on the toilet, or I’m out of the house I’m sure. Figure I might get an answer here faster.

I spoke with him a while when I was registering me and my father for their class this April in Reno. Very cool guy with a good sense of humor. After watching the Magpul instructional video, its obvious the guy has some really great teaching skills and really enjoys doing it.

Im looking forward to the class……despite the rising costs of ammo. I bought ahead to be prepared.

Gun Holsters

am looking for a range holster for my wife, her favorite color is lime green. I am looking for anyone that makes Kydex holsters in that or another bright color for her.Holsters recalled because strap causes gun Holster to fire
WASHINGTON (AP) — A Pennsylvania company is recalling about 3,200 gun Blackhawk Holsters because the strap can catch the trigger and cause the weapon to fire accidentally. Eight incidents of accidental firing have been reported, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said Wednesday.
The Fobus USA Shoulder holster Division of First Samco, of Southampton, Pa., is recalling its Fobus GLT Pistol holsters, designed for Series 17 and Series 19 Glock pistol Magazines handguns fitted with a laser-sight light. There have been eight reports of guns discharging as they were inserted into the concealment holsters. One person injured a finger.

Guys, it is REALLY easy to try to skimp on carry gear when you have spent 500 or more on a gun holsters piece…..BUT DON’T DO IT!!!

As Cav Vet has shown, it’s a simple thing that can land your prized carry piece on the concrete…..and while it may not damage your weapon anything more than superficially, think of what kind of DOLT you will look like if people see it. That’s the minimum that can happen.

I used to use fairly cheap holsters for years….as I got fatter and fatter they became more and more uncomfortable and more and more of a liability to my security. One year, for my birthday, my best friend bought me a Galco paddle rig for my Browning High Power…..and though I would eventually find even that uncomfortable it served me well for years and I still use it from time to time.

Re: The lawful criminal
open carry is a very loaded topic/ there are well thought out arguments on either side. I can’t say I’m against the idea of exercising a right that (because it’s been neglected for so long) we’ve all but lost. However, I can’t help but wince when I imagine the negative impact it has on the (sheep) people who make up our citizenry. I’ve seen a few instances here in the good old People’s Republic that actually went really well for the firearm owner. In a few of them, local PDs ended up informing its officers that Open Carry is perfectly legal. However there’s a flip side where a regular guy was detained for a few hours by mall security, even though local PD refused to take the incident any farther.

Eotech

Has anybody been able to mount the newer Eotech 517 or 557 over the bulky M4 handguard (like on the Colt 6920) and be able to fit a 3X magnifier and BUIS too? I want to be able to swing a 3x magnifier to the side and be able to use my ARMS low profile BUIS. It seems like now that the new Eotech 517 is designed to sit over that bulky M4 handguard, I ought to be able to buy a swing-to-the-side mount that also allows me to use my low profile BUIS too.
