Airdrop, you need a better holster if that is happening. biggrin

No. I do NOT have that issue.
I wear my Keember (the one I sold, commander length) like I do my other pistols.
At 4 o'clock; the right hip past the midway point. Outside belt holster.
Only issue I had was a short shirt and a gust of wind... oops.

That may be. I've got good ones for the Beretta and Glock and had for the XD and never had issues, but I also primarilly do inside the waistband because of the dress shirts I have to wear most of the time. I really think the length of the 1911 is my issue (no matter how far downward I adjust the clips, for example, it is still pretty uncomfortable for me and grabs the shirt tucked over it getting up and down (in court, for example, where here judges can designate allowed carriers in their courtrooms).

I just can't beat my XD-SC for carry. Its short length keeps it from banging the seat muzzle first when I sit, its light weight doesn't turn into a ton of iron at the end of the day, and its small footprint can be mistaken for a Crackberry. No one is going to say "Hmmm, is that a pistol?"
No, their natural inclination is to think they are mistaken, and that it is some form of mobile electronics. Buwahaha.

What you need to do is have an answer ready when someone inquires as to what it is.
"None of your business" just makes them more curious.
"A medical device" works well, as they will then be too embarrassed to ask what it does.
You could also respond that it is a "GPS unit that I tote around". True, if you consider that GPS = Gun/pistol/Sidearm.

If you are going to use a 5" Govt Model for toting around, you need an IWB holster with a good cant towards the front.
Most guys I know that carry a Gov't Model are using OWB holsters.

Here is my "Dream holster" for it... Tucker HF-1 with the Texas concho...

OG, Bersa is one of my favorite manufactures! I have a stainless ultra compact in 9mm, a blued ultra compact pro 9mm (their newest line in 9mm), a firestorm ultra compact .40, and an ultra compact pro .45. No problems whatsoever, and the sa/da is an awesome thing. I feel these guns are very under rated, but that might be a good thing because that probably keeps them at the current price point.

Bill, I know what you mean. I can't believe I've waited this long to fall so hard for a 1911. I did purchase a Kimber Ultra Carry II about six months ago, but didn't really like the way it felt while firing it. It was an awesome weapon, I now regret selling it as I'm sure I would have gotten used to a three inch barrel in .45.

Letterboy1, I've heard the Glock 30SF having some issues, don't know if it is true or not. I almost bought a G30 last month but settled on Glock's black sheep, the G36. I installed a lasermax laser in it last week and am happy with it. A little harsh on the recoil because the gun is so light, but nothing you can't get used to. It kinda reminds me of my XD-40sc as far as recoil.

Air, argghhh! I'm looking at adding an XD-9sc to my collection. Btw, do want to go to the Bullet Hole some time?

I carry a XD-45. Sadly I screwed up and never finished getting my Concealed Carry Permit in Virginia. Now I have to wait until I'm 25 to get one here in New Mexico. Waaah. I think I might find something a bit smaller before that though. Been thinking about the XD-40(M) but I've heard a lot of mixed opinions regarding the .40 caliber. I wish the Taurus Judge was a smaller gun, because what the heck could be better than having a mixture of .45 and shotgun shells?

Absolutely let's go. I'll PM you my email and sendme yuurs and we can meet up there. I haven't been in about 2 weeks because of various family and work obligations and my wife just had sx but should be back ready to go in free time soon. Good thing is their hours are great so pretty much any day we can get free we can go.

I had been going during lunch quite a bit but I can go whenever generally.

How's the fam and photog biz?

I'll PM you.

Don
