Review- HolsterMolds prop pistols

[CaptQuirk]

I just checked out the bluegun store. Free shipping sounds awesome, and N.C. isn't too far away. I kinda like the fact though, that CKK industries is only a couple hours away from me. The only way to get it quicker than priority, would be to drive there. Our Nissan gets good mileage, and I could almost make the drive for less than postage. However, next time it comes time to get a mold, I'll try out bluegunstore. Always good to have other sources.

Have you seen the mags for this one?  Can't be quite the same as the "old" shield...

 

No I have not. And my LGS has not gotten one back in yet. I think they had one and I didn't even bother to look.  However, the only real difference is they are slightly thicker on the frame.  And with the odd shape of the 9/40 mag, who knows.  If I see one I'll try to get some measurements.  

 

As to Rob, great guy to deal with.  That's where the .45 came from.  Even had my computer screw up the order and got it within the usual time frame.  Working on stitching the holster now.

I'm not such a fan of the Rings mags myself.  The guns are fine as a rule, but I like Duncan's mags... cast in the shape of a loaded mag.

As for free shipping, that sounds okay on the surface.  But the shipping is in the price.  If you're buying 1 or 2, doesn't matter one way or another.  But teh more you buy, the more TIMES  you're paying the shipping.  Still, couple bucks one way or the other,

IMO, better to just buy real mags.  Figure I can always re sale them later.  99% of mine are real and loaded.  Yeah, the unloaded rings mags are silly.

Yep.  Not the right shape (on the working end), tough to slide down an already stitched mag carrier (though they work for forming leather over and THEN stitching) and they're a bit pricey for what they are (for a few extra $, you can just buy the actual mag).

That's what I do as well. I only have one blue mag. I couldn't find the real one anywhere, local or online.

Blue Gun was my first choice, but, they were out at the moment. Blue Guns are made in my home town, and I ALWAYS support the home team if I can. I also have to go with quickest turn around time (Which again, was HolsterSmith.com), especially in this case. New customer, and he is a local cop. If I get him hooked, the rest may follow. It has been my experience to keep the local cops happy.

Capt,

where are you located?

@malabar- I grew up in the Melbourne/Eau Gallie area. Living in the woods of Central Georgia now. Your name wouldn't have anything to do with the Malabar area of Palm Bay, would it?

[malabar]

Yep, that's where we're at.

@malabar- We left Fla almost 8 years ago, and that whole area had blown up then, I have heard its even worse now. I remember when you couldn't find 2 houses within a mile of each other, and Palm Bay was "The Sticks".
