  1. So I'm at it again. This holster took 4 min to form and establish the look I wanted, the straps and way of securing it to belt 3 hrs to get right, lol. Definitely not a fast process for the first one.

    Couldn't find any other material other than nylon webbing for straps.

    Made with this homemade press

  2. Not my usual thing, but I just finished The Hunger Games trilogy.

    The first 2 were OK...the third was mediocre.

    The movie comes out next month. For me, the casting looks about perfect.

    I 3rd this. I too was sucked in. Also these

    Handgun Combatives- Dave Spaulding

    Surgical Speed Shooting-Andy Stanford

    Liberty Defined-Ron Paul

  3. Ok I absolutely can not refrain from toying with my guns. So after reading several other sites I decided to take a stab at camo sponge painting. I will try to do a step by step. I am missing one picture which is of the gun in its factory state, use your imagination I guess, :). So here we go, you will need the following:

    Marlin XT-17

    Masking tape

    Spray paint-Rust-Oleum or Krylon Fusion Ultra Flat

    Natural sea sponge-found in beauty section

    Matte clear coat

    A plate or surface to spray paint onto for dipping sponge

    Prep the area which you are going to paint. Some say use Windex some say 600 grit wet/dry, so what did I do? I used both. After prepping the firearm of choice. Cover everything you dont want painted with masking tape. Spray your first coat of whatever base color you choose. Then paint stripes of your color choice. Like this

    You will want to sponge the opposite color from which you have already painted onto gun. I used FDE as my base then striped it w/ OD green. So I went over the FDE with OD and the OD I went over with FDE.

    Starting to come together, huh? Then just alternate whatever other color you should want, I ended up using FDE, OD, Brown, and a little BLK.

    Then spray the finished product with Matte Clear to protect and strengthen your prize.

    If you need more info feel free to ask. Enjoy guys look forward to seeing some of yall's work.

  4. Like others have stated, IMHO Kahr are great. I have the CW9 and absolutely love it. It has become my EDC over my G19, because of thickness. Should be able to pick one up around $400 bucks, the CW comes in 9, .40, and .45. Relatively the same size on all 3 calibers. Different thickness for obvious reasons. Hope this helps.
