    Kewl, got my CCL!

    Good read: http://concealednation.org/2014/10/fbi-decides-on-9mm-as-their-1-choice-and-have-tons-of-science-behind-their-decision/ Albeit I don't 100% agree with everything stated in the article, there is some good info referenced. Just reinforces to carry what you are comfortable with. (I...

    Kewl, got my CCL!

    That's my biggest issue with shoulder holsters: flagging everyone. Nothing makes you feel more at home than standing behind someone in line at the supermarket and they are open carrying a .44 mag in a shoulder holster and you are staring down the barrel. Most don't draw properly and make the...

    Kewl, got my CCL!

    I have carried several pistols as issued weapons. Being 'forced' to carry a specific firearm makes you concentrate on the negatives of that pistol and "hate" them. But, I would carry any of them as EDC. The point is find what works for YOU. That's the biggest issue with female shooters; everyone...

    Kewl, got my CCL!

    It is quite sturdy and holds better than you would imagine; the top looks loose but the lower portion is quite snug. That holster does have a retention strap, I choose to not utilize it. I have seen a few others who have used a SERPA holster (i did while deployed, used a SERPA mounted in the...

    Kewl, got my CCL!

    I tried that. The seat rubs the holster and applies pressure on it, which fumbles when drawing. Practice will be needed regardless as it is an atypical and awkward draw. You are fighting the console when you attempt to draw, its not a "clean wrap" as one is accustomed to when drawing from a...

    Kewl, got my CCL!

    Not intense at all. Its much more convenient and easier to draw than actually on your person, especially with a seatbelt on. Also much more comfortable. You don't want to know my loadout for more serious situations or the expectation of traveling into/through problem areas. Hurricanes and...

    Smash and run punks get caught in the act.

    Good job. I can't stand ignorant destruction of someone else's property. Too bad its no longer a Federal offense to smash a mailbox. Look in your CCL thread

    Kewl, got my CCL!

    I got a simple leather IWB holster (old Uncle Mike's open bottom 1911) and slid the clip in between the trim panels on the dash next to the steering column. Its open, simple, accepts all of my handguns (1911,M&P full size, PX4, Glock 19, H&K, Sigs, Bodyguard .380 and others) with no issue. Most...

    Rain/Wind Guards

    I have the 'Ford' labeled stick-on AVS ones and like them alot. Just make sure you align them BEFORE actually adhering them. Most people screw it up with the notch to go over the mirror trim and don't get a good seal then bitch about them "leaking and whisteling". I went with smoked versus the...

    The biggest problem is lack of appropriate training. Realistically, how often do LEO actually train in a real world scenario? I know as a Marine we are required to "qualify" with our primary weapon (and pistol if you rate one) 1 time per year. Due to budget cuts and financial mismanagement well...

    4pin and 7pin trailer wiring, sanity check me!!

    Update to this: I went ahead and did some work on the trailer (reinforced the shody and weak trailer sides at the rear where the gate is held in up position), and re-wired the entire trailer. I went ahead and purchased a 7 pin plug and wire 8' long with a waterproof junction box from mictuning...

    Pre-dating the 2011 there was 2 different manufacturers of a double-stack 1911 in .45 IIRC the first was in early 1970s initially designed for LEO use.

    What, you don't have a double stack 1911? Amateurs around here, I swear! :flamingdevil:

    There is so much truth here. Train, train, train. Practice drawing and dry-firing at a bare minimum 2 hours a week with your carry weapon. Sudden attacks, surprise, fear and massive adrenaline rush degrades fine motor skills and the thought process. "Muscle memory" and instinctual reaction is...

    Looks like we need a shooters sub-forum here! FYI: it is feasible to lay in the back of the Expedition with the seats folded down and shoot out the back with the gate open. Contrary to popular belief, even a 22.5" barreled AR-10 with a massive brake and hot match ammo won't blow out windows. I...

    Stacked lift spacers

    Please do not stack lift spacers. I am assuming you want to use multiple lift blocks under the springs above the axle. There is a reason manufacturers don't make larger than 3" for your application, as previously mentioned the suspension won't work properly and cause even more issues. Second...

    What did you do to the expy today

    There is nothing wrong with factory blinkers, the old "i couldn't see your blinker past your headlight" excuse is 100% continuous around here. I added simple smoked LED lights (upgraded dually fender lights from Silverado) to the outside edge of the mirror and wired them into the rearward facing...

    Those puzzle-piece gym floor mats

    Sorry for the late reply, just saw this. It rolls up easily and sits right behind the 3rd row seats. Truly the only downfall to it is the mat makes it a little cumbersome to access the storage area underneath the rear where the jack and stuff sits.

    Not trying to hijack your thread OP. Welcome aboard. I usually buy ammo 2-3k at a time. Range trips for me always end up in the 1k rounds or more expenditures. 3-gun and Combat matches are ALOT of fun. Can be very hard on the body though depending on load out and match requirements (mag...

    adding usb to the 3rd row.

    I added a 2 port usb to my 2012. I tapped into the wiring for the rear a/c, which has a 12v continuous power as well as excellent grounds already established. I think I paid $8 for an illuminated 2.4 amp 2 port usb on Amazon. Drilled a single 7/8" hole, made a foam gasket out of some leftover...

    Handgun and ammo. Plus more ammo for the long guns. Then some more for the shotguns. Then some more for the handguns. Ammo is like money; always better to have too much than not enough. If you shoot at a high rate then buying in bulk is more cost effective, even if reloading.
