Depends on how you want to carry it Michael.

Kydex are great but in my opinion not too comfortable against the skin.
Bianchi has a pretty nice inside the waist band clip on

I'm actually considering a shoulder holster but cant decide which one. Since I am usually wearing my shirt tucked in I don't think I could conceal it in my waist.

I have an inside the waist bianchi for my Makarov that lets it sit low enough its barely visible. Yes this impedes my draw speed but concealabilty is great. My XDM I just ordered an Alienware that will let my laser fit in it too.

How does that holster attach to the belt? I'm usually a fan of loops with snaps rather than many of the talon shaped clips used by most holster makers.

It has a belt clip on the other side, not loops. The side that is facing up goes against the body. Personally I prefer the belt clip for the ease/quickness of removing it. I believe one of RDR's options are snap loops though.

Okay. Some of those clips are pretty positive, and hold up well. Naturally, width/thickness of your belt plays a part too.

I have several of their holsters, each with the clip and haven't had any issues with the clip itself.

[Full disclosure, I do not have any direct connection to this company. Remo turned me onto them a couple of years ago and I have been a satisfied customer with several purchases.]

Swapped off an "extra" AR-15 at the show this weekend, for a barely used Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 9mm pistol, the full size version. S&W claimed that all the 2.0's have better triggers than the originals. (I sort of think they're fudging a bit there.)

Well, this one I bought, they definitely got the internals right on it. Darn near as good as installing an Apex kit.

Brian D. · 03-16-2018, 02:07 PM

The last month or so S&W or their distributors must have offered some great rebates on the J-frame five shot .38 special revolvers. Was able to get a model 442 for $340 out the door, taxes included last week. No external key lock on these, even better.

Picked up my six year old a new .22 to teach her how to shoot. She hit the two inch metal target at twenty five yards on her first shot. She did great!
