Got my PTC

[XDM45]

Forgot the details of my early days... Carried an XD45c in a High Noon Holsters Bare Asset, a simple, thin, and convenient holster. Loved it. Still do. It was very easy to unclip and stash in a glove box. The single clip was was easy to position but it did tend to move around a bit. I tried a Galco Kink Tuk, it felt bulky in comparison, but held my XD in place better. Not worth it IMHO. Ended up selling the King Tuk. Now if I carry IWB, it's my PF9 in a Remora. Oh, and talk to Srigs about a nice OWB, he makes purdy leather goods

Forgive me... who is srigs and how do I reach him?

I've thought about open carry, but I just don't want the attention and things in entails.

Thanks. I think this may be the way to go even over the crossbreed.

I 100% agree. From my research, I think that off0the-shelf, the Crossbreed Super Tuck is the way to go, however, I'm not sure that it's the best way to go all-around. I have a feeling that I'm going to be only 100% happy if it's exactly what I want....and the only way to do that is a face-to-face meeting with someone local who does custom work.

UPDATE: 2 people just recommended SGH to me. I've emailed SGH already this morning. so it looks like I'm on my way. I'm going to get one IWB and one OWB.

I got the Switch Guard that can go IWB or OWB with removable snaps. Works well both ways but I still mostly use it OWB.

Well, I took my PTC class on 08/25/2012 and a mere 16 days later on 09/10/2012 (or 11 business days), I received my actual PTC card dated 09/06/2012. Pretty dang fast actually. I'm only writing about it now because I was on vacation (left 09/07/2012 and returned 09/27/2012).

Now the work continues with practice, safety, holster work, (once I get my holster(s) to replace the cheaper Blackhawk generic OWB one I currently have) and so forth.

Scott County since I live in Shakopee.

Freind of mine got his PTP in Farmington, took 2 days....some places are better than others I guess for gun things.
