Here’s a bunch of stuff that doesn’t really deserve it’s own post, but is cool nonetheless.
Shootin Illustrated’s new website is pretty awesome.
Part 5 in a series on holster discussions by Richard Mann. With bonus hotchick.
New concealed carry holster from my boys at Galco for N-frames. On that note, I’ve discovered that an N-frame really isn’t that hard to conceal, you just have to dress around the gun.
Dan Wesson “duty” coating on their new Valor 1911.
And finally, if you have a carry/combat gun with one of those “XXXXXTREEEME SUPER DURABLE COMBAT TESTED FINISHES’ and you just let it sit in a safe, you’re doing it wrong.
Hey, is your wife OK with you calling my wife a “hot chick?”
You ordered your Ruger yet?
Nice to know I’m not the only one that uses my wife as a guinea pig/model!
Not having an entrant in the hotwife contest, I’ll just opine on the N frame carry aspect.
My 4″ 28-2 (Highway Patrolman) is often rendered nearly invisible by a tradtional OWB pancake holster. Given a longer shirt or winter coat, it then just disappears. Comfortably too, I hasten to add.
The only impediment is the tacky nature of the Pachymer Gripper Pro grips. I’d love to have a set of smooth wood grips done in the exact same countour, in every detail. Would keep fabric (like shirttails) from bunching up around ’em.
What’s hard to carry are the N frame speedloaders.

Jim,
I’d recommend some of the Miculek style grips. You can get them from Brownells; I use them on all my n-frame guns, including my carry gun which is a 4 inch 625.
Caleb, I’ve tried the Miculek type grips. Not bad, but nowhere near the “made just for meeeeeee” fit of the Pachymer Gripper Pro.
My (very miniscule) Kingdom for a wood or non-tacky synthetic version thereof!
(thank you for the suggestion though.)
