Howdy folks, you may have heard of Mastermind Tactics Pillows and Cloudster Pillow. Both good brands and I don't want to pretend that I'm the only one and am not here to bash them whatsoever. But I'd like to throw my hat in the ring because I'm a tiny 1 man operation crafting and sewing the highest quality holster pillows I can which is Stallster Pillow.

Some facts on Stallster Pillow

• multiple colors including multicam variants.
• comes pre-filled and includes extra gel foam & gel polyester in a vacuum sealed bag for FREE.
• good size for sidecar holsters or single medium/large sized CCW.
• sewed with moisture and abrasion resistant fabric.
• opening designed with ultra low profile velcro so barely any of the fill gets stuck to it and if it does it's very easy to remove.

I can't post links on a main post but just Google "Stallster Pillow" and you'll find it. Thanks!

I have gone through the gambit of CCW unicorns.

Canik MC9LS> 43X> BG 2.0> 365 tac ops, HK CC9

and cannot find a 9 that doesn't print like crazy in t shirt. I have tried tenicore, GT, VEDDER holsters and a couple no name brands. I've tried belt clips, pads, wedges. I have a gun belt with one size up shirts and cannot figure out what's going on.

My BG2.0 disappears with the vedder holster. Nothing else comes close. I'd really like to carry a 9 though ccw

In spite of 29 states recognizing the need to be able to carry a weapon without a license as a basic right that doesn't need permission, New Mexico continues to have a lengthy, expensive process to receive your CHL.

Between hundreds in class fees, 16 hours of time for class , time and $50 for fingerprints, 100 to the state for the application, ammo cost, travel cost, and the other time involved, it becomes clear who can and who cannot receive a CHL, and the poorest are excluded from exercising their rights due to the cost and inability to take multiple days off from work. And then you're doing it again in a couple of years because the state still distrusts you ..the law-abiding citizen that put in the effort to do it right already.

Looking at the data, we have a massive amount of shootings and nearly all of them are with weapons carried illegally. So in the end, you are forcing the good people to spend a ton of money and effort to do something that criminals are already doing...for free.

Is this the New Mexico we want? Fear mongering of constitutional carry has been negated by the data, no those 29 states didn't turn into the wild wild west. It's time to join the majority of the states in our Nation and stop the people of New Mexico from having to spend so much time and money to do something most already do, except with good intent. The people living in the best gated communities, with security at their workplaces, are the ones who maintain this, and the discrimination against the lower class is appalling.

Once your head is out of the sand, it's quite evident. The shootings don't stop, but they don't want law abiding citizens carrying weapons. Its embarrassing.

This is disproportionately affecting minorities and less privileged New Mexicans, single parents, and we have to do better. Write your representatives and request an end to these discriminatory requirements.

This isn't by design, we generally have good people running the state, but it doesn't mean it didn't end up affecting people in an unintentional manner.

I know we'll have lots of comments from people who don't want all of their rights but it doesn't change the fact that this process disproportionately affects one segment of our population that has more trouble exercising their rights. Regardless of your views on firearms, that's not right. Would it be okay if it were any other rights?

I traveled from Florida to Virginia this week. I have a Florida concealed carry, and currently have my S&W BG 2.0, with a 12 round mag, and defensive rounds. I had a death in my family, and need to head into a terrible gun state. I’d rather not risk getting jacked up even if the handgun is locked in a box, and my ammo is separate. I’d be looking at multiple felonies if something went bad for me. I’m a retired soldier, and have never had any legal issues, so it’s unlikely if I was pulled over that a cop would want to search the car. My logical brain says it’s not an issue, but my other brain is scared. What kind of options do I have behind what I list below?

Options:

1. Just drive in and out. Low risk, high impact. My wife is not happy…

2. Find a gun store in WV willing to hold it until my return trip on Saturday.

3. Rent a storage unit and lock it in there until my return trip

4. ???

Hello all!

I currently have a 6 MOA Vortex Venom on my Springfield Echelon 4.0 and was looking to upgrade in the future. I’d like to hear some recommendations on what my next jump should be towards.

Green dot would be preferred as I have astigmatism but I can get away with a red dot if it has a large enough MOA sight picture.

Just some options I’ve been looking at:

Vortex Defender CCW Reg or Enclosed

Vortex Defender ST Reg or Enclosed

Holosun EPS Carry

Holosun 507C X2

Let me know what you think! And sorry if this breaks any rule, I can take it down.

Strange situation here. I frequent a bar that used to be a restaurant downstairs. The restaurant is no more (6 months at least) and the upstairs patio is the only part of the building open for business. I know for a fact that 90% of income comes from alcohol sale/consumption on the premises as they literally serve nothing else, no food, some cigars but small quantities.

I think they just haven’t added it, but there is no 51% sign listed ANYWHERE. Asked a lawshield partnered attorney and he/she said as a CC license holder, the burden of disclosure/warning is on the bar/business not on me.

Would you feel comfortable carrying in this situation? Sounds like still a legal uphill battle if you had to use in it in this situation when they’re clearly a bar right?

Just wondering where everyone is actually putting their CCW. What’s most comfortable? Why?

I don’t carry at the generic 12o’clock position, it’s really more like 12:45 or 1:00. If I’m at exactly 12, the button of my jeans (typically) sits at an awkward angle on my holster and makes printing worse. Maybe I need a different holster, but the Tenicor is otherwise very comfortable for my p365 xmacro.

Honestly it’s that time!! I have plenty of Handguns put I usually only use one to Conceal Carry with. Reason being is I’m most comfortable with it, most rounds down range, been carrying it for so long. I carry the P365 XL, with it being warmer out I went back to its original grip, during the winter months, I use a Wilson Combat Grip. I am looking for another go to CC pistol, I want all the recommendations, opinions, options, reason you carry what you carry.

I currently have:

- Springfield Shield XD

- Glock 19

- 1911

- Beretta M9

- Sig P320 M18 and M17

What else do I need to add to the armory room? Lol, thank you for all the advice, recommendations, and suggestions in advance!!

Some background—carried a Glock 48 for 3 or so years, it was my first handgun and first CCW. Absolutely loved it. Unfortunately, I lost all of my guns in a house fire, literally the day I finally put a tlr sub on it. Sucks, but it is what it is.

I’m fighting the urge to buy another because I wanna wait on the Gen 6. I was able to pick up a Gen 5 G19 as my current EDC, as I found a used one at a great price. Fantastic gun, little hard for me to conceal. So in saying all that, what recommendations can I get for guns similar to the G48 (concealability, shootability, and reliability)?

I currently have my eyes on the FN-ReflexXL or reg, Hellcat Pro, and the Sig P365XL. I’ve been a Glock man since I started shooting, and I’m a creature of habit, so I’ve just never branched out and therefore I don’t know what’s out there to even begin to look into.
