That is a Sparks PMK, correct? That is rapidly becoming a favored revolver holster (at least for outside the waistband carry). I use mine for a Ruger GP100 Match Champion and it...

Thank you for the kind words and endorsement. Coming from you that means a lot. I am in the same boat in that I need to cross paths with you at one of your classes. The retention...

I am glad I could provide some help on this issue. I actually carry a Comp III when I pack a wheelgun. Rob Leahy's Sidewinder speed loader pouch makes it pretty easy. I'll show...
Dogcaller:
A couple of thoughts.
First, while I am always of a mind that "more" is better, realistically if you and your son each have two (2) Safariland Comp IIs or IIIs, you...
Janitor:
This may be sacrilegious in a 1911 thread, but it appears that the rifle is a Pre-64 Model 70 Winchester. Any details that you can share on that rifle? It is gorgeous and a great...

Later guns were cast frames which was supposed to be more durable. These were used on the 40 S&W guns and probably most of the commercial MK3 guns sold in the US....

Good on you for doing this for your son. I did it for mine and it has paid numerous dividends, miost notably being my son assists me when I am teaching and he is becoming a fine...

Thanks for the link to Charles Russell's book. I know of him via his artwork but never knew he did much writing. I'll read that this winter.
As to Col. Cooper's books,...

Thanks for posting the photos and educating me on your set up. I am leaning heavily towards carrying a small, fixed blade knife as opposed to the various folders I have used over...

When my son and I were at Gunsite for the Pat Roger's Memorial Revolver Roundup this past November, we naturally hit the Pro Shop. While I have most of Colonel Cooper's books, my son...

You are the man. Thanks for the reference. My son started reading "To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth" over Christmas. He and I chatted about the Colonel's writings...

That's a great idea. I am doing an instructor class for some folks and told them that PPD is required reading.

I couldn't agree more. One of things I tell...
NH Shooter:
That is an interesting sheath. I have pretty much gravitated away from folding knives (my son calls them "Broke" knives). Would you please provide some details on how you draw...

If I recall correctly, Col. Jeff Cooper used the same rifle on his Rio Balsas expedition in the late 50s/early 60s into Mexico/Central American along with a 1911 in 38 Super. I'd...

I use Pachmayr Presentation stocks (small size if possible) when I am running lots of heavy kicking magnum ammo or a modified Hogue rubber stock with the damn finger grooves ground...

Exceptional article on Col. Cooper's Principles of Personal Defense. I am glad to see it being taught/discussed. I use it with my students all the time.

We had a Savage 99 in 300 Savage in my family. We reloaded for it and as I recall, the round was very accurate and easy to load for. While I have often thought about finding a 99...

I run a similar setup. I have been very happy with my Ruger 22/45 Lite. Mine is equipped with a red dot sight and is stupid accurate. It is also helping me learn the red dot...
