I bought a king tuck. Yep. There are some places I will have to OC in New Mexico if we stay here and I eventually am able to acquire my CC permit. I prefer open carry for many reasons, but you cannot open carry at Wally World, Albertsons, Smiths, any gas station at all in existence here, and those last are some of the places where I encounter the least desirable characters. For that reason I am legally exercising my right to carry an unloaded concealed firearm.
Let me preface this by saying... ugh. So much easier to OC. No I'm not trying to gain brownie points, it just is. It's more comfortable, and I feel like if I'm ever in a situation where I'll need my weapon I will have access to it. But the fact remains.
So I have a Galco IWB. Not a bad holster all in all. I have successfully managed to conceal, despite being a smaller frame (160lbs lean ground beef) and wearing not so loose shirts. I did a bit with a shirt tucked in, despite having a bad taste for tucked in shirts... holy... hated it, but it is what it is.
Problem is my takedown lever keeps getting caught on the leather backing of the holster, and has after only a few days started to pull the black piece away from the beige main piece. I have a feeling this will get worse before it gets better. I'm carrying a service model XD .40 btw. Is there any attachment I can use on my dremel to buff this piece, or should I try supergluing them back together? I've taken to being more careful when I return the XD to it's holster, but I'm also trying to speed up my draw times given that I have to load a magazine and rack the slide in order to make the weapon effective.
