I love it! Great minds think alike!

Since frozen CO2 (Dry Ice) is becoming commonly available at grocery stores these days, at least locally, I've been considering whether a gas powered pistol loaded by putting chips of dry ice into a chamber with seal and letting it reach room temperature might be an option should C)2 capsules and tanks become hard to find.
The early CO2 airguns were loaded using CO2 canisters manufactured for fire extinguishers.

PS as for IWB carry up front I've found that a small frame revolver with barrel of 3-4 inches sits perfectly behind my belt with nothing getting in the way when I sit down. Also much easier to draw standing or sitting. I do use a simple soft suede side out sheath for the gun, actually two layered with suede liner as well. The texture keeps everything stable without interfering with the draw. no need for any extra hardware. It works just as well with my FN 1922.

 

I mean, it'd be hard to miss...

You may note that I went for the thumb safety in addition to the DAO trigger (which is the only trigger available on the 365). This is as much a product of my affinity for the 1911 as it is my desire for a little more security while concealing. I generally carry at 4, but this holster (finally) enables appendix carry.

Should work in both positions actually.

 

I was a firearms instructor for a federal agency for 22 years. I ALWAYS advised AGAINST appendix carry for off-duty (it was not allowed while on duty). I think there are more cons than pros with the idea and I don't meant to start a learned discourse (or argument) about it, just stating my position.

 

Hi, I can fill the "reservoir" with an usual CO2 tank for beer ;-) The pressure ist sufficient for me; just plinking on tin cans. AFAIK the detachable cartrige beneath the barrel are tested to 300 bar.

 

I appreciate your input and how you gave it. No desire to cause any sort of argument from my end either.

Appendix is not my preferred option, but I wanted to have the option in certain cases. My most common carry will still be at 4.

Mostly my post was out of glee for finding a holster that was actually comfortable to wear. Like really comfortable, almost comforTING! It just snugs up to you like a loyal dog and makes you feel supported.

Since it's winter now, I sometimes carry owb under my jacket but am much more accustomed to iwb.

 

This morning my youngest grandson and I went shooting. He is ten years old and really likes shooting AR's. I let him run three magazines total of 90 rounds the ar pictured

Reading the posts about carry methods and holsters. Carry methods and holsters are very personal and subjective. It took me awhile to learn what is a good holster I have a box full of holsters that I went through to find holsters that work for myself.

 

Nice looking setup there. Happy to hear the young one enjoys the shooting sports. Having not been brought up around guns, I learned throughout my 20s with friends (bear hunters, fowl hunters, combat vets, and members of the sheriff's department). Starting younger would (I imagine) be of great help to honing repeatable skills sooner and forging lasting good habits. Right now I can't bring myself to shoot through a box of 556 at over $2/round.

As for the carrying positions/holsters topic, I agree regarding the subjectivity of the whole thing. I'm always willing to hear those more experienced than I argue their position. Learning can't happen with a closed mind.

I'm staring at this holster trying to figure out why it tucks the piece in so much nicer than my other holsters. I'm at a loss. But you can see that it's nicely made.

 

Two of my favorite things!

 

Nice way to do 10mm, a Colt
Delta Elite.

I like 10mm better than I thought I would. It makes a good all around cartridge choice for most reasonable handgun chores and is a good alternative to the grand ol .45 ACP.

I need to gather in a copy of that Omega book. Books contribute to a hobby's enjoyment and make it more rewarding.

 

I see you are a man of refined taste. 10mm is, as Noelekal said, an excellent all around cartridge.

 

I just picked it up today. My first 10mm....My daughter and I put about 60 rounds through it and we are both very impressed. Great caliber. I’m a big 1911 fan this being my 5th. Still love the .45acp but I agree, a great alternative. I was taking it out of my bag and the book was right there so...a great picture! If you get an opportunity to get the book I highly recommend it.

 

EDC (48 MOS) and the newest hunting setup. Seekins Precision Havak Element chambered in 300 PRC with an MBM Ti Beast 2, glass is a Leupold VX-5HD 3-15x44. The MBM is absolutely amazing. Makes this rifle give me less felt recoil than a .243! Comes in at 7.2 Lbs with glass, too.

 

Saturday afternoon my two grandsons and I went shooting. Both of them were shooting 1022 Ruger's. I took an old favorite Remington 700 30.06 I needed to sight in the scope on the Remington we all had a great afternoon enjoying each others company.

 

Got to thinking about this one the other day. Just dug it out.

Not in Ireland are you...

 

Very nice

 

I wonder which will fade first, the wrist pain or the smile on my face.....
