Re: New to IWB Carry

I just bought the MTAC Minotaur for my S&W M&P 9 compact, $80 +tax and standard shipping. Ordered on Sunday, 5/31, received today 6/4. I wore it for a few hours and it was very comfortable to me. This is the first IWB holster I've used so I have nothing to compare to. I wore it around the ho...

Re: Trade ammo? - I need .357 Mag, will trade .45 ACP or .9mm

Academy Sports in Plano (off N.Dallas Tollway) had .357mag in stock today when I called at 2pm. Don't know what brand. I picked up WWB 9mm at Academy in Lewisville (JHP and FMJ ) They had 3 JHP boxes and I got 2. I did not see if they had .357 mag.

Re: Crossbreed SuperTuck vs. Comp-Tac MTAC

Thought I'd pass along this info. I placed an order for the MTAC on Sunday 5/31, received email on 6/1 that it was in production, email on 6/3 status is "in Shipping", email received today 6/4, taken to post office and shipped. The web site said 10 days plus the 3-6 days standard mail, so ...

Re: Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm?

I did not have a gun when I took my CHL class, but was able to rent to do the shooting test. They had 4 or 5 different guns, one was the S&W M&P 9mm compact, I loved the feel in my hand, it fit well with the medium backstrap and I was able to shoot a near perfect score for the test (and I ha...

Re: Reciprocity Question

I will be in MI for a wedding in 2 weeks and can keep my eyes open. I agree with what skippr said, I have not seen anyone except LEO's and armed security carrying in the open anywhere in MI. Risking being thrown off this board - ;-) - I've been in Texas since 1994 and moved here from MI where I grew...

Re: Reciprocity Question

Jeff, I also was curious about this so I found the following, it does not specifically state that non-residents cannot open carry. See "Firearms Related Questions" near the bottom of this link: http://www.michigan.gov/msp/0,1607,7-123-1586_27094-10953--,00.html" onclick="window.o...

Re: Ammo Shortage

This morning at 7am I went out looking for 9mm and wondered to myself if this how junkies act when they need a fix. I find myself thinking about where I can find my next "fix" of 9mm ammo, but everywhere I go I miss it by one day or they haven't had any for weeks. This is insane, I remembe...

Re: Carry Options ?

My CHL instructor suggesting buying pants 2 inches larger than you normally wear for IWB carry. I have been losing weight over the past few months, so I don't think I'll have to buy anything new, I think my old pants will be large enough now. I was looking forward to new clothes, but if they allow m...
