I would strongly recommend against Alien Gear. My OWB was floppy and loose fitting to my body and the IWB clips would slide around or come loose from my belt. I recommend Winthrop OWB holsters, Crossbreed IWB, or a high quality leather from Mitch Rosen or similar. Get a good gun belt. Very important. They will wear out so you'll need a new one every couple years. Comptac makes a good one. Carry a flashlight. You cannot shoot what you cannot see. Fenix lighting.
 
It takes a couple months to get really comfortable carrying everywhere. The holster and clothes you choose will morph until you're dialed in. I feel sloppy in an untucked shirt so I often wear a light jacket to conceal my OWB, mag pouch, and flashlight.
For a gun belt, Simply Rugged Holsters makes a nice belt. I have both the 1.5 inch and 1.75 inch wide...the right belt is a key component.

What do you do that you wear out your belts? My belt man belts are still going strong. Only reason I bought another one was because I got too fat for the first one. Dang 8 years ago today I ordered that first belt.

I carried my M&P45c last weekend for the first time in a year...spent all weekend pulling my pants up. My XDS45 is so much lighter and easier to carry...and I carried that M&P for a couple years!

cat.JPG.4c33c95ec2f9021b3a5e43cacd961028.JPG pistol close. Where we live, when I take the Pitts out to do their thing; I'm armed.. The above is about a 70-80# panther or cougar caught on one of the game cameras.

Coming home after dark; we've seen bigger or about a 100-120# cat.

 

We also have bears, coyotes, hogs and even armadillos..

 When I hear noises at night. The above is a Barnes AR with night vision. It's digital so day/night capable. It's a sub MOA rifle and the ATN isn't as accurate as the rifle; so, I put the ATN on an AK-74 with a 5 watt IR which will jump cans at as far as I need to shoot day or night. 

 

Typically in the truck, I have a S&W M59 and a Rem 870 pump. Due to the "neighbors" we take it a lot more seriously than most as we have no choice.

When I carry my 4" Redhawk 44 mag I find suspenders help carrying the load better in conjunction with a good belt.

My daily carry was a Glock43, but I just picked up this Sig P238. Its a bit smaller, but because its an always cocked 1911 type, it has a thumb safety.

My current choice is a SR40c, looking to pick up a P365 soon as an alternative/backup. 

 

I'm picking my 365 up Friday finally. Really excited!

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
