I currently live outside Lufkin, TX. I am an 8 year USMC Veteran, serving in Iraq and Afganistan. I currently work as a Security Contractor, having just got home from a 9 month contract overseas. I work as a trainer with our new operators in Combatives and Combat Pistol. I like to help people learn, so if there are any questions the members have, send them my way.

I just realized on my Intro, I did not give all my info, sorry--I am new to forums as a whole.

Carry gun: SA XD .45ACP Hi-Cap Service Model or STI Ranger II 1911
Holster: Blade-Tech UCH IWB or Wilderness Zip Slide
Back-up gun: Taurus CIA .357 Mag 2" Snubbie
BUG Holster: Galco Ankle Rig, Nemesis Pocket Holster or Belly Band
Emerson Commander Folder
Surefire E2D

This is my tried and proven gear when carrying concealed. I often carry both my XD or my Ranger II on detail, sometimes both. I try to have my BUG on me 24/7, in a belly band or pocket holster. I have alot of different knives (folder and fixed) and several flashlights for detail work, however, I typically always have my Emerson and Surefire with me.

I am a gear junkie, so if anyone needs opinions on anything--I have probally used it or know someone who owns it or has used it.
