    Homemade Hybrid Holster #3

    I made this for another K40 owner. I really like how the mag pouch turned out. Now I'm going to have to make a setup like this for myself, too. He wanted: - chocolate leather with black kydex - fully finished edges - stitched construction (rather than rivets) - tuckable with j-hooks and standard...

    Homemade Hybrid Holster Version 2.0

    Well, I got my latest order of Kydex and started on my next hybrid holster today. Since I wanted this one to look a little nicer than the first, I started with dying the leather. I went with a all-in-one stain and finish from Eco-Flo called "fudge brown." It's a gel that you just wipe on with a...

    Making my own hybrid holster, attempt #1

    I've been working with Kydex for some time, making some motorcycle accessories and other little things. A few nights ago, I decided I'd try my hand at making a hybrid holster ( a la Comptac, Kholster, etc...). There's really nothing to them, and by making your own you can add some little custom...

    Best .357 Mag/.38Spl+P for a 2" snub?

    I know that bullet technology has advanced and that there are now loads specifically designed for short-barrel handguns. I also know that what works best with a 4-6" barrel may not work as well with a 2" barrel. So, what is the best personal defence round for a 2"-barreled .357 Mag snubby? Are...

    New grips for my Taurus 605

    I've been looking to change the original rubber boot grips on my 605 for some nice wood grips. In addition to just looking so much better, wood drags on covering clothing much less than rubber. The hardest decision was whether to stick with the boot grip or go with something that gives enough...

    PSL or "Saiganov"?

    I'd love to get a Tigr or Dragunov, but neither is within my means to buy. So, I've seen some really good looking Saiga .308 rifles that were modified to have the PSL/Dragunov look. I've been thinking about getting a PSL for a while, but I'm starting to wonder if I should get a Saiga .308 and...

    Powder Puff Loads in .38spl?

    My wife hates recoil. I've gotten her comfortable with the .22 pistols and now I want to move her up to my Taurus 605. Obviously, any .357 magnum loads are out of the question for now. What is the softest shooting commercially made load available in .38 special?

    Mall Ninjas Rejoice!!!

    I just came across this today. I'm at a complete loss as to why anyone but a dyed in the wool mall ninja would want to do this to a pistol. Not that stocks for Glocks are anything new, but the Israeli version would easily weigh 1/8 of this monstrosity and would be mounted on a G18, being used...

    What choices are there in .357 SIG?

    I'm interested in a full-sized auto in .357 SIG. I like the SIG Sauer P229. Glocks generally don't fit me (or I don't fit Glocks :o ). I'm not interested in compacts. Who else offers a full-sized service pistol chambered in .357 SIG?
