OldCannon - Thank you very much, you have been very helpful. I did ask a local dealer this morning and I finally found the answer to my questions on multiple long gun purchases. The proposal (from your link) became an official BATF ruling on August 14th, 2011 and a form 3310, I believe, must be ...

OldCannon - I'm really sorry to ask again but I seem to be having a problem conveying my questions in a manner in which they are understood. Let me try again. Please bare with me.

You first stated..............
2) 4473 is retained by FFL business owner for 20 years ( this is why I charge a fee, in ...

OldCannon - Thanks for your corrections to my post. I'm not a dealer but I have inquired about this very subject from 3 of our local guys...................seems they are not telling me the whole story. They all said they called into NICS.............none mentioned a computer. Glad to know this is ...

When you purchase a gun in Texas, a background check is performed by calling FBI NICS (not a computer), a reference number is issued by FBI NICS to be written on the transaction form and your are approved or denied. As was stated, the dealer is required to keep the records until they go out of ...

I realize that we are acting out the scenario proposed by the OP. We are all assuming that the BG will simply ask for our personal affects from a safe distance thus giving hope for the "throw down" wallet.
However, I've had personal experience with two family members who were involved in street ...

When I was shopping for my EMP, I noticed the significant weight difference between the .40 and the 9mm. When I asked why this was so, I was told that during the development phase the .40 was causing stress fractures on the aluminum frame. It was later changed to a carbon steel frame. The 9mm is ...

JacksBack - Looks fantastic for a first attempt! Please post some more photo's after you dye and finish it.

wharvey - Love both, but the second holster is fantastic! I've tried a few experiments with hand stitching and was not happy. I'm going to try your idea of pre-drilling the holes!

Over all ...

* OC is, unequivocally, faster to draw from than CC. Period. CCers can argue all they want how pretty darn close they can get, but an unobstructed pistol at 3:00 OWB is always the benchmark. If it were faster to draw from concealment, you'd never see a gun because police officers would conceal all ...

I actually rigged up a makeshift vacuum table this past weekend and I was pleasantly surprised at the results. The only problem that I have is that I had to staple the kydex to the frame so I had to use a full 12x12 piece. Being able to use the membrane would be nice so I can make use of the ...

Where did you get the roofing membrane that you used?

I'm a scavenger by nature...not to be confused with a dumpster diver...won't go that far! I only needed a small piece about 22" x 15" to fit the frame. I went to a local roofing company and asked if they had a small piece laying around that ...

I cordially agree that wetting out a brand new holster is NOT a good idea for loosening a tight fit!

giga04 - Very nice!!! Your stitching and the boning look fantastic! I like this style of holster as well and I have seen it's style in many other holster designs, but how did you come up with the design? (how or where does the piece on the top come from, is it part of the back?) I can tell from the ...

I purchased several holsters from D.M. Bullard and they all had this problem. When I talked to him in a phone conversation he told me that you should never place any leather care products or lubricants on a stiff/tight holster, at least not on one you hope to keep. He claimed that leather care ...

Ordered some Kydex yesterday, looking for leather, will be quiet now until I have a picture to post. Thanks for the inspiration and how-to.
Ok, I'll be looking forward to seeing your pictures!

Here is the OWB holster I made for a friend today. It's for his Glock 27.

What thickness kydex are you using in that press? And with the membrane vacuum press that you use, am I correct in my thinking that you don't clamp the kydex into any sort of frame? Just the membrane is in the frame, correct?

I'm using 0.060 ABS.

No, the ABS/Kydex is cut in a small piece to fit ...
