Bullhide leather belts are my go to for EDC belts, I've used a couple for the last few years - super sturdy and a good price for a high quality gun belt.   I've had a wilderness belt, and still have a S.E.O. duty instructors style belt with a heavy duty buckle - but those are a pain to put on and take off quickly.   I've found I'm too used to the simplicity of a leather belt for my everyday belt.

I've got 2 sets of ameriglo Pro I-dots on my G19's, they have a little tritium dot in the center of the rear - really good setup. I like the wide rear notch (although maybe a tad too wide for some longer distance stuff), very fast and easy to acquire front notch with the big yellow/orange ring around the tritium vial. The rear dot is hardly noticeable (except in low light when it glows) and the front orange/yellow ring on the front draws your eyes very well to the front sight. I've found the rear tritium dot is nice to have for a reference point for front/rear alignment in low light.   But the rear dot isn't a deal breaker for me. I'd prefer it if I can get it, but I could make do without it. I'd like to try some of amirglo's other setups (with the goal of finding a little tighter rear notch/front sight width) and a lot of them don't have the rear tritium dot,

Woo hoo!! Was able to get free from work on Sunday - will see you guys out there.   Ya, this will be the first cool weekend, won't get much better weather.

I did a LOT of reading before I jumped into the gen 4's. Yes, it seems all (ok almost all) the issues were with the 19 + 17, in regards to all the things Cruel hand luke delved into. But from most the reading and reports I saw, Glock did get it worked out and all the gen 4's are good to go now. All my Glocks now are gen 4's.   I have a 19 that had updated parts installed by a previous owner, I have 3,800 rounds through it with no issues (that were not operator induced). Another 19 that has or came with the updated parts, with around 300 flawless rounds through it. And a 34 with 400 trouble free rounds.

Its not something I'm worried about, I agree with peace, if you just got involved in a SD shooting, your gun being registered to you will be pretty far down on the things to worry about.   I've slowly gotten to where most my firearms are "off book" - including the two I carry daily.

Not an issue I've ever heard of, I see no reason why it would be of concern. Are you worried about the frame holding up to the weight/pressure?   Did a 14 hour drive down to Fla a few months ago, G19 carried IWB sitting in a car the whole way (well maybe reclined back a few times for a few of those hours).

I had a lot of problems trying to shoot with both eyes open at first too. I have left eye dominance and am right handed.   After practice, it got better. Once I learned to draw the pistol and push it out under my left eye, it got even easier - set up the strong eye to pick up the sights first.   After over a year of pretty religious dry fire practice several times every week, its second nature and now feels weird to close one eye.

Anybody on the fence - take this class!, it is fantastic.     Will be waiting for CRG2 to follow.

I don't really pick out carry guns or dress for them. Its either the LCR in the pocket - usually for work, or the G19 for all other times.   I haven't dropped my rig or gun (yet) but I do put the holster and gun on as one.   One thing though, if you had to choose, wouldn't it be better to drop a holstered gun, over a gun by itself?

I first wanted and carried a DA/SA gun, well besides the little DAO 380 pocket gun I carried as well.   When I got serious about practicing and training I quickly found and decided I wanted the same trigger pull every time. Went striker fired and never went back.   But I do think shooting a SA handgun is about as sweet as it gets, and that includes a SA/DA.

Awesome, will be heading out there on saturday.   If anyone would be interested, I'd love to catch a ride. Would throw someone $10-15 gas money, I live out off 40 west in bellevue, so it's pretty much on the way out from nashville.

    I knew both my carry guns weight unloaded, but thanks to your info I now know the loaded weight. Although I carry Federal115gr Hi-shok in my 19.   G19 =33oz LCR=17oz

  Lol, ya my wife heard about it on his show too (myself as well) and asked about it.       18 pounds?? Good gosh.

I moved from Chattanooga in April, and the last time I was at prentice cooper was probably last September or so. I didn't frequent too often because of the scary things I heard, saw and then experienced, and it did get really busy sometimes - but was hit or miss though, sometimes it would be packed, other times just a small gathering.   It is a cool place that is fun and best of all free but not too sure if I'd go back now for safety's sake. They should really charge like $5-10 per person per day and have a range officer to watch things. It is the only free place I knew of in Chattanooga.   They had redone the shooting bays, at least on the pistol side. With nice wooden table tops/dividers for each bay, and had the rules posted at each bay (A VERY GOOD MOVE). The pistol bays are at 3 different ranges, just depends on which target wall you get in front of. 1 at prob 5-7 yards, 1 at prob 10, and the other at maybe 15-20 yards tops. There are about 4 bays for each target wall I think. Usually where I shot just depended on what was open, or opened up. The rifle ranges are at 100 and 50 yards if I remember correctly, and there's lots of bays for each.   You can get on their?/some website and find out a little more info, which is a good idea before you load up and head there because they'll close it off to public some weekends for hunting and other events.

Heard about this on the radio too, glad to finally put eyes on it. I can't really see a need for something like this, but sure enough there are those that will want one.   I can't think of any advantages over any of the common carry pistols - a revolver, or small semi-auto.   Ok, I guess it does beat a derringer (if it proves to be reliable), . . . a little, . . . . although probably actually not as accurate.

Not too bad, I've done better . . . . . . .                                                       :lies:   Seriously though, Pretty darn impressive. Perfect practice makes perfect. I get quite inspired by his videos.

Sweet! Was wondering when we'd get this started, now to find some time to get to the range.

As long as there are still people standing in a line at wee hours of the morning, its not better in my book.   Until I can randomly walk in to any give gun store/department and grab a few boxes, everybody else can have that crap - I'll be shooting my 9mm.    But I will be dreaming of spending $20 and having 22lr to shoot for hours, the way it used to be.

Welcome to TGO.

Very nice looking Glock, congrats.

Had a great day, even in the heat. Shot some fun, challenging stages with some good folks. Looking forward to next time.

Since I started rolling my own, every round gets a quick look over before it goes in the box to be shot. Takes maybe 10 min per 100 rnds, but I feel its WAY worth it.   I liked doing it so much, I also (usually, at least) visually inspect factory ammo before it goes in my range bag to be shot. Just a good habit that takes a few minutes, that can save a whole lot of trouble.

:screwy:............ :poop:

:bored:  "Substantial funds were poured into testing, all because the military was finally ready to acknowledge what firearms aficionados have known for years: although the 9mm is a capable round and all rounds work only if applied properly to the target, .45 ACP is, quite simply, a one-shot stopper."   :shake:
