I've carried since 1972. Govt issue .45 from 72-74, my Colt from 1974 until an unfortunate divorce settlement in 1987. Then my Glock 17 until recently when I got my DW Vbob. That's my Kramer IWB #3.

Long time and nice pic, Ron.

I'm intrigued by the grips, but can't grok them from the cell phone pic.

What are they?

Gabon Ebony from Sarge. Black on black. Belt and holster also black.

The wife and I are taking our CC class later this month. Hopefully I'll have the permit soon.

I'm on my second permit, which was issued in 2009. I don't remember when I got the first one.

This is my current carry rig...only one day old...

Goes in a cargo pocket.

I carried a Charter Arms Bulldog first, then tried carrying a full sized 1911, but that didn't work. So I got a Sig Fastback Carry, but then downsized to the Sig Ultra Compact.

Have CC'd for a year and a half; rotate between a Kimber SIS Pro, Eclipse Pro, Raptor Pro (all in .45ACP), ECO, and hopefully soon, a Baer HW Mono Commanche.

Carry in these OWB holsters: BiancheriUSA black elephant pancake style holsters with matching belt. These are awesome, good looking well made, and the best bang for the buck that I've seen on the market. Turn around time from placing the order to having them in my mitts: one week! For my less often CC'd full-sized 1911's I use a Wilson Lo-Profile pancake.

Forgot to respond to this, Ron. Your reply get me to looking around at ebony and I've got Zane making me some Gabon Ebony grips for my DW Guardian Duce.

I think ColMike had some horn grips that look similar. I really like the look of black on black.

I'm a simple sort of guy :)

I've had mine for over 20 years; P228, full size 1911, P229, and my fav ECO.

i started to carry the POLY judge, 2 inch IWB with a talon holster, i read all of these great reviews on how easy it is to carry blah blah, but i am a small guy. 5'5...and not so easy as my kel tec pf9 LOL. i sold the 9 to a buddy in need, to get my new toy. i am going to bump my pants size up a bit and see. i really loved my 9 and will get another, i know i know, why carry a cannon? im moving back to cali, so my tx ccw is worthless now...just want it for backpacking ect. just in case. but i plan on more hog hunting with my G20. hehe. love seeing peoples faces when they see me flip the switch on a hog with a 10mm.

Had my CCW for about 10 years....carried a springfield XDm .40 till I got my Kimber Super Carry both in Crossbreed SuperTuck....wife has had hers for about a year...carries a S&W Shield in a IWB rig
