The Bianchi Shoulder holsters have since been redesigned with wider leather shoulder holster and a plastic safariland tactical holsters that is too wide to be caught in the trigger guard.
Consumers should stop using the revolver holsters immediately and bring them to a Fobus USA distributor for a free replacement holster or contact First Samco for instructions on how to return product for a replacement. Consumers can also send the recalled holster to Fobus USA in Southampton, and will be reimbursed for return shipping.
For more information consumers can call 866-508-3997 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday.
Had Fox news on while I was doing something else in the house, but I glanced up and saw one of those rolling headlines at the bottom of the screen. If I’m not mistaken, it said something to the effect that a certain model of Fobus holsters is being recalled because of eight incidents where a strap or something pulls the trigger when the weapon is drawn. Yikes; I’ve got two Fobus Roto-Bianchi Shoulder holsters (1911 and Glock Magazine 19). Mine don’t have straps, though. Made me wonder. Anyone else heard anything
‘ve rarely seen anything other than the standard black and brown but this seems like it would be a great line for Cav Arms or Bladetech to introduce. Maybe something like the Orange stocks marketed by Speedfeed for Dedicated Less Lethal Shotguns.
I have a question about the 6xxx series tactical revolver holsters. How tight is the Bianchi Shoulder holsters if you are shooting when you are kneeling? I am kinda on the big side and the last time I had a tactical revolver holsters it cut off circulation on my right leg. Granted it was an airsoft revolver holsters but I just don’t want to purchase the holster and then find out it isn’t going to work out. I know I know I should lose weight but will that matter?
Just picked up a Fist #5 pocket holster for my P3AT, it came tighter than a tic. After a few afternoons & evenings infront of the tube working the unloaded pistol in & out it is now perfect. safariland tactical holster this is w /o a doubt the finest pocket holster I have tried.
I just looked on their website. The nearest I could find is the "concealable belt holster" but I could swear the packaging at the time said COP on it. May be wrong, it’s been nearly four years.
Either way, the holster was crap. Switched to a 20 year old Galco made of thicker, tougher Leather Holster and that held up. Galco uses too much oil.
After spending $140 and waiting six months, I received a High-Noon "safariland tactical holsters Argument" for my G26 (I know, not the same as you’re talking about, but High-noon follows a similar pattern for their IWB holsters). Thank god for their no-questions-asked return policy. It felt like I was carrying a brick in my pants. I shipped that POS back ASAP, and bought an MTAC. It was $80 and it came in a week. It is so comfortable I forget it’s there, and it conceals nicely.
One thing I’ll give High-Noon: they use metal belt clips. If the MTAC had metal belt clips, it would be perfect. For $25, the Bare Asset may get the job done cheaply, but the High-noon design is subpar, Tactical holster.

Quote direct from the EOTech website’s product description of the 517:
"Additionally, a portion of the front base has been raised to allow the sight to fit over standard hand guards found on many M-4 or M-16 style weapons"
From the looks of it, it might not slide all the way up to your forward-most slot, but the fact that the buttons are on the side of the unit will allow you to butt the magnifier mount right up to the back of the sight, which may create enough room. If all else fails, I’d buy everything from a vendor with a good return policy so you’re not stuck with something if it doesn’t work.

Shoot normal ammo & change the Beretta Magazine spring every couple thousand rounds or so & this gun will be shot by your grand-kids with the same accuracy as you get now."
Very sage advise. Couldn’t have said it better myself. The Beretta Magazines 92 is NOT a delicate, dainty firearm. They work and work well, period.
Plus - magazines are cheaper, and recently flooded the EE. Parts are pretty easy to find. Since it’s not uber-tacticooool like it was in the late 80s, used ones are really reasonable.
My spare parts kit for my Beretta Magazines are, trigger return springs, mainsprings, recoil springs, a locking block, spare barrel, a couple of grip screws and grip panels. I’ve only had to replace one trigger spring, and that was after shooting ~1200 rounds Egyptian SMG/FMJ ammo through it at after 5500 rounds.
I read this article about the reliability back when it was published

I’m not real happy right now. I literally just walked in the door from the range. Out of 102 rounds I fired with my new Sig sauer magazines I had 96 failures to extract.
I was shooting S&B and my carry load. Both had FTEx. The pistol was also dropping the brass from the last round in a magazine and leaving the brass resting on top of the empty mag.
Pistol was cleaned and lubed before heading out. I soaked the extractor in CLP at the range and cleaned it there. That didn’t make any difference in the frequency of FTEx.
This is a real disappointment for me. I really, really like the way the P250 feels and points. The trigger was fine and for the 6 times the pistol actually functioned as a auto-loader follow-up shots seemed to be fast. I was hoping that this was going to be my new carry pistol, but that isn’t going to happen until it’s fixed.
Obviously, I’ll be calling Sig sauer magazine tomorrow and sending it back to them for repair/replacement.

Based on this I did the best I could to get my reticle into something. It is no secret that I have not been satisfied with the quality of the Rifle Scopes from China. The report I just received form one of my field testers at Fort Bragg on the latest CRS from China was not good. Therefore I have terminated any further production of the CRS from China.
I am working on having a 1×4 CRS made in South Korea and a 1×6 made in Florida. I was hoping Trijicon Rifle scopes would look at my reticle for their new TR24 Accupoint but as of now it seems they are not interested. S&B did not want it for their Short Dot and Swarovski was not interested in my reticle for their Z6. Any of these scopes would be a excellent package for this reticle.
I haven’t given up. I’m still trying to get my reticle into a good quality CRS.

went shooting today at Hernando Sportsman in Brooksville, FL. Chris Costa who runs the training division from MagPul was in the lane next to me. He had a couple of tricked out SBR’s one MagPul lower, the other on a KAC platform, and .308 with a can. His kids were with him and he was teaching them to shoot. They looked like they were about 10 and had no problem hitting a 12"x14" steel plate at 100 yrds.

I’ve had my Beretta 21Magazines (.40 S&W) for over 16 years and thousands of rounds. Only ever replaced the recoil spring as a preventative maintenance thing. Never a problem. Keeps firing every round and is as accurate as the day I bought it. I have spares (including a locking block) but have never needed to replace anything.
The more guns you have, the less rounds you’ll shoot through each, thereby reducing the possibility of breakage.
My favorite load for the Beretta 21Magazine is a 125gr lead TC bullet over 3.9 grains of 231. With this 25000 PSI load the Beretta should last forever. Just in case, I have another on standby.
Alot of people are preoccupied with +P+ and durability. My answer is handload and shoot reduced power loads. This way you get all the pleasure with none of the pain. If you ever have to use your gun defensively, I can guarrantee that you won’t notice the difference in noise or recoil

was looking at the GRSC CRS Rifle Scope myself and really like everything it offers! I don’t like that it’s a Millett with w/ a great reticule because of the Millett’s weight and less than stellar performance. Some of the things mentioned above (minus the ridiculous comparison to NCstar) including the fact that no more will be made in the foreseeable future, steered me away from it.
I’ve come across the new Burris Rifle Scopes XTR-14 and have decided on it. 1-4×24 illuminated horseshoe/dot 100-1000yds bdc calibrated for 5.56 62gr approx $550. I was very pleased with my Burris FFII for a $200 scope; FFII is their budget line while XTR is top of the line!

The IWB from cowboy holsters has been my favored way to carry a G19 and G30 for several years. They are little thick and chunky, but are a very solid, durable design. If money’s no object, Matt DelFatti’s IWBs (delfatti.com) are awesome.
used in 15 years of CCW gun holsters.
What have you guys tried and what do you use?

Recommended on another site was heavy lube and working the action dry cycle…I kid you not…Walther p99 magazine times: I did it to mine…quite a little workout…wear a glove.
Then fire a couple of Walther p99 magazines .
There’s alot of debate whether you should run only ball ammo in them.
Again, from elsewhere; important ammo considerations.
1. OAL of the round.
2. Shape of the round…HP must be as close to ball in shape as possible.
3. Feed ramp angle and polish; though this is only infrequently a problem.
Remington 95 gr FMJ seemed to meet approval, Winchester equivelent would most likely be fine; all else, especially anything not ball, simply must be tried out.
Though a good break-in is recommended before you start experimenting with the HP ammo.
