New Gun Tread “NO POLITICS!”

2021HBTRX · Jan 27, 2026

I don't carry appendix never was comfortable for me especially since I am usually carrying a g19/17 its easier for me on the back hip.

I have some vedder holster and they are nice, but also depends on what your setup will be. I use a tenicor with the g19 since it has a xc1 light and optic there were not many options with that combo for holsters.

I still really like my Springfield Hellcat pro. It is a solid all around gun. Never gotten my hands on the shield x, but a buddy has one and he likes it.

For my carry I am pretty plain, do not have attachments/lights etc…

I agree that appendix isn’t the most comfortable position, i am just most comfortable carrying that way

The hellcat was on my list but I took it off due to the initial issues I heard back in the day, I may have to go out and put hands on one to see what they are all about.

So this mount is a turd. The pistol doesn’t stay in the mount for shit. Never installed on the truck because it’s a massive failure. $35 lesson learned.

That's a bummer. Their other style mount works very well. Really happy with it. And, it accepts pretty much every semi-auto pistol I have... won't fit the Colt SAA though. haha

No issues bro, it's a flawless CCW.

It really does fit most handguns. I thought the design was kinda ingenious in its simplicity.

I was looking at that Tactnation holster and came across this, seems like a cross between the Tactnation and a center console safe.

Anyone buy or know of this?

Yeah, they are pretty cool. Two things for me though: They are freakin ENORMOUS, and they are reallly expensive. I guess three things because it's biometric which is a no-go for me in any case.

If they are that big then I would agree, but would love to hear real world feedback.

Now I know I need this! Can you take a pic without a gun in the holster and how it’s mounted. I just want to make sure I don’t screw through something and hit a wire!

Might want to stock up on the ammo, its going to get crazy

@Air’d outSRT Josh now that you have roughly 100x 2011's, what would you say is your favorite overall and which one is probably the best bang for buck? Also which full factory model is perfect out of the box and which one becomes awesome with some upgrades? I really appreciate your input and obviously you have probably owned/shot more than maybe a few individuals on this planet

Also 507 comp or SRO

I have 38 2011’s, best carry out of the box is my bul armory sasii and staccato c3.6, best shooter out of the box is probably my watchtowers, the pew view and demolitia, then the sig p211 and my modified staccato xc. Best bang for the buck is probably the bersa m2xi. Holosun all the way. Personal reasons though about sro’s
