    I did see a hellva deal on a Kimber there yesterday. These two guys got to it before I did. Very nice.

    40 glocks range more like in the $400-500 range usually, unless you can find them used.

    That's just it, his brothers wanted "glocks". A high point is certainly not a glock.

    But you're right I do believe you can get a high point for that. Hell, yesterday they had Lorcin 9's for less than $100. I have a 380 and 2 25's of those too.

    You know, I haven't gotten one of those postcards in a long long time. They get your name from when you sign up to win the door prize, so probably after a while they cycle you out of the system if you don't do it again.

    You're right.

    I always laugh when I watch a police show or something and these real hard gangsta hood guys get some POS pea shooter or half broken down 32 revolver out of their waist band.

    Jaime, normally I carry with a pancake holster and my suit jacket over it, but I wanted to see if I could find a IWB holster that I liked.

    [Edit]My carry weapon is a Browning Hi-Power, so a belly band is somewhat out of the question. [/edit]

    Yeah, that's too big for the belly band.

    I had an OG Uncle Mike's that was inverted and it went in the small of your back that I used for my big bore guns. It wasn't very "concealed", but in the winter with a big jacket you couldn't see it.

    Pancakes are pretty close fitting. The high ride paddles are good too.

    That Fobus I got has a version just for yours:

    https://secure.fobusholster.com/cata...9787e02afaf7b7

    It's pretty tight up against you, so it may work.

    This is mine:

    Very nice. How's the retention on that? I tend to find that I have problems with retention systems on hard holsters.

    I may end up getting something like this to hold it a little higher:

    Of course, I may just wait until I get my next handgun to buy another holster.

    The retention is actually very positive. It literally "clicks" into the holster. You have to draw pretty strong, but nothing that can't be pulled out even in full panic mode. Put it this way, my kids couldn't pull it out, but I can w/o a problem. I have the extended slide release and oversize mag release and neither interfere at all with drawing the weapon out.

    Actually, I have a Galco for one of my 45's very similar to the my new Fobus rig pictured above and it rides much higher than my pancake ones. I like that because it makes it easier to get in and out of the car with it on. I like Galco rigs though. As a matter of fact you can adjust the cams to tighten the retention on them. Cool feature. Only drawback is that since it's molded, it's model specific so you can't adjust it to fit your other guns like you could with regular thumb break ones most of the time.

    Of course, I may just wait until I get my next handgun to buy another holster.
    There you go. That's one way to solve the problem.....get another hideout gun.

    That's how I justify it to myself all the time.......
