wunbadweel Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Dear SSers - mea culpa for taking so long to display my lifemate's backside, but we've been busy plowing snow up here in Ideeho. And rest assured: for every moment of the two-hunnert-thirty-eleven hours of overtime I've earned in the last couple weeks on a 924G loader, my 1911's been on my hip the whole time. Such severe duty woulda broke a merely mortal man or pistol, sez me. PS - click on the pic for a larger image, and again sorry for the poor photo quality. My meager skills are focused elsewhere. Yes, that's a ClipGrip, and it works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wunbadweel Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Fellow SSEC skinny-gun devotees: I am thankful to carry a gun afforded the honor of membership in such an organization. I can only hope to keep my training acumen sharp enough to do the old girl justice; she still shoots much straighter than my eyes can see. What's really cool: folks who recognize the place for Mexican-style carry. Here's the reason why my girl stays so close.... Many moons ago, I busted my foot up something terrible. It was during a moment in which I mistakenly thought a badge conferred powers of flight upon the bearer. Anyway, several years and surgeries later, I now have a lovely electronic appurtenance, about the size of a stack of business cards, sewn into my left hip under the subcutaneous layer. It tells the nerve damage in my bad wheel (hence the moniker) to shut the hell up and does a fine job doing so. Unfortunately, it's in a location that makes wearing a belt damned near impossible for more than about an hour. The issue became proper holsters....I tried numerous IWB and pancakes but found none that were reliable enough for regular concealed carry. So, I tried the Mexican carry mode with a Clip Grip, and still train to this day with the 1911 so carried. Yes, I must religiously watch for cleanliness and fuzz-fouling, but I do that anyway. Not for everybody, but it works for me and my Colt. And to answer the obvious question: how many rounds can I fire before I have to clean the old 1911 ? ENOUGH TO GET THE JOB AT HAND DONE, or so my own experience has been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
