New Holster from Dragon Leatherworks

OK, I have the 1911 Government and now thanks to Dragon Leatherworks I have the holster for it.

I know JayG has done a review of the Fugly holster and I had the chance to meet Dragon at the last Blogger Shoot last summer.  When I sent out a bleg for info on holsters Dragon was one of the folks that sent me info and so I went with his Fugly holster, for IWB on the right side.

Let me start with the first impression I had when I opened the box. . .  WOW, nice holster!  It is a very nice leather holster with rivets to make sure it stays together.  Here is a good shot of the rivets holding this thing together:

And a nice view of the front of the holster:

Now I am use to the cheap collapsible nylon holsters.  They are great to start but not really good for long term.  They don't stay open so you can't put the gun back easily.  All that is over with this one.  Just to see how it would work out I put this on with my belt tight and the holster stayed open no problem.  Even with jeans that were a bit tight, no problem with draw or reholster. . .  It keeps it shape.

I wore it around the house as I worked for the better part of the day and it was great.  It takes a bit of getting use to the creak of the leather that I am not use to but it blends in good and did not print at all with my tee shirt on, though I would put more over it just to be safe going out in public.

Overall I am thrilled with it and plan on using this for my 1911 once I have a bit more practice with it and the comfort to use it as my carry gun.  Two thumbs up, go visit Dragon Leatherworks for a great holster at good holster prices!

Holster Help

Ok, for you gunnies out there. . . ..

I am looking for an IWB holster for two guns. . . I need one that fits a full size M&P 9mm and another for a standard government 1911. . . .

What holsters do you suggest that won't break the bank? 

I have a basic nylon one that will fit both guns but would like something a bit better. . . . easier to re holster when I have it on ya know?

Range Help

OK you MA shooters, question for you:

I have a friend that wants to get a gift certificate for her husband so he can go to a range and shoot. He does not own any guns but has been in the Army so is not untrained.

Can anyone suggest a range for me to tell her about where they/he can rent a gun, range time and if needed get instruction so he can get some trigger time?

I would just take him to my range but we are still closed (Scituate) due to issues with a ricochet and a house a half mile away. . . no it was not me and I don't think it even came from my range but that is a different story. . .

She is looking for a range in the Worcester or Boston area but any in "eastern" MA may work, they are willing to drive a bit to find one. . .

Thanks for the help!
