I really liked the DeSantis Tuck This holster for my XDS 45 - the attached mag pouch and nylon body made ideal for comfort and ease of on/off, especially after I added a sweat shield. Saying that, I really wanted a CT laser for the XDS, but DeSantis said they had no immediate plans to make one...

Just noticed an add for this new holster: I Tuck, Conceal Carry , Everyday Carry Holster, Heavy Duty Clip, Tuckable Design, Smart phone, Firearm Looks like a great idea. Anybody have any reviews on it?

In various forums, apparently some are luckier than I have been in the elusive search for an interested lawyer. I've written about my frustrations in the past regarding finding an attorney that I can keep in my wallet should I need one in a self defense shooting. EVERY ONE of them either...

An FYI: While scavanging a bunch of brass at the range, I ran into some Blazer 45ACP brass that was loaded with SMALL primers. I only noticed it when the usual large primers wouldn't seat. Seems that Blazer makes their non-toxic & frangible stuff with the small primers. Just what we need...
