Weight of Loaded Carry Guns

[BirdsThaWord]

Couple of years back I finally stopped wearing my 1/4" x 1.5" bull leather belts and switched to Kore belts. I'll never go back, until I stop carrying.

You know, I’ve never had a belt that is specific for carry. My leather belts, along with the jeans waistband has always seemed to work out fine. Even when wearing shorts they seem to stay put well enough. BUT, now that I am thinning up, I don’t have as much of a “Dunlop” to push my iwb gun as tight against the shorts. Also, me and la familia’s “get outta Dodge” set ups are all big ol Glock 17’s, with compensators (heavier). They are all sitting in owb’s for easier than iwb access. SO, been thinking about getting 3 belts. Going to do some internet surfing soon to look at them. I’ll check out your Kore brand. I’m a cheapo, so hopefully they fit my budget.

They're not badly priced at all Bird. And they make carrying so much more comfortable.

Oooooh weeeeeeh! Just looked ‘em up on ebay. To buy 3 of those, man I don’t know. I want something that works well, but I’d REALLY have to want one of those bad. I might try some on that are available at local shops and see what kind of pricing those run for. No doubt you got a good one, but did I ever tell you I’m a frugal, cheapskate!

The one downside to them is that they don't fold. So unless you change your pants everyday, or remove the belt your pants won't fold nicely to be set aside for the next time you put them on. Other than that they are great belts. I think I must have paid less than what they're going for now, because they were very reasonable, costing less than one of my good bullhide 1/4" single ply leather belts.

I think I’d be ok with that. I have a rack in my room where, so long as I didn’t get sweaty or dirty, I hang my pants to wear again. Funny story… my wife is a clean/neat freak. Never will allow enough dirty clothes to sit in the hampers to fill up the washer the way I would if it was my duty. I was surprised at what she said one day. She was putting on her favorite pair of jeans and mentioned it might be time to wash them. I asked how long it had been. She said she had not washed them in maybe 6 months!!!! I had no idea. But, those dang jeans sure do look new still.

Ahhh laundry....

I need me one of them Jeep! Well, maybe not. My incompetence with the machine is what “separates” me from ever having to do the laundry.

From working on the road a lot. I learned to buy colored under ware, socks, and t shirts. Just throw it all in and go for general purpose wash. Still do it after I retired. Plus, now that my wife has passed, I have a lot of unused closet space, so I hang up my t shirts, beats folding any day.

Lol! I stopped buying “tighty whities” years ago. The racing stripe is a real thing!

I know you're frugal (me, too), but a heated Toto Washlet bidet toilet seat . . . no going back. It's not just life-improving; my life divides into 'before the bidet' and 'after the bidet'. It's proof that God loves us and wants us to have happy wives.
When PG&E killed the power for 48 hours a couple years ago, my kids didn't complain about no phones, laptops, or television; doing homework in-the-book by flashlight instead of on the Internet; wearing more clothes and snuggling under blankets to keep warm; or anything else EXCEPT: "ugh, the toilet seats are cold".
