Thanks guys -

It rides at 3 o'clock in a Galco owb thumb-snapper holster.

It is a great carry option coupled with the backup Colt .380 XSP in a pocket with a sticky holster.

How do you like the sticky holster?

I like it - easy to carry in a front pocket, or in a cargo pocket. It somewhat hides the profile of the piece, and does work to keep the holster in the pocket when you draw.

For the money, it's a no-brainer for pocket carry.

yeah, i've been looking for a holster still for mine. i'll have to take a look, thanks.....
 
Who makes the "sticky holster"? My next is probably going to be a Sig 290 (after I part with a couple antique long guns). I haven't bought a new gun since 2012 and I have an itch for a small pocketable summer carry gun.

Edit: nevermind. Google just told me Sticky is a brand :o.

I had a Sig P290RS, it was ok, but I after trying a Glock 43, I traded it off. If you get one let me know, I have a DeSantis owb holster you can have for free.
 
What all metal sub compact 45 acp options are out there for under $1000? Any? Do I need to find an old Star PD?
 
A lot of Kimbers and Springfields are available for a lot less than $1000. Speaking of Star PD, I had one that I bought from George years ago. If I remember right, it was one of Charlie Askins favorite guns.
Go to Big R on 159th and Bell Road (the old K Mart building), they have a good selection of compact .45's

I bought my Gold Cup online and got a discount over list.

Colt does have some history with the 1911, I have never fired a compact from them though.

Ya got my attention! (bradanglers@aol.com)

Brad, I inherited two shotguns and a rifle a while ago. They're not in the best shape but two have some potential to be fun guns with a little imagination and a couple dollars. I need to get appraisals before deciding on an asking price but I'll let you know as soon as I do.

Which 'burbs are you in?

This is one of the less expensive ones:

No disconnect but it has that funky select-choke and some buggered up steel. The wood is in surprisingly good shape.

If it were 12 or even 20 I'd have the bbl cut to ~22"/crowned, add a bead, do a self applied CeraCoat in dark grey and make it a truck/trunk gun. :D
 
Ah, a good ol' Model 12 16 ga. sure used to see a lot of them in S.Dakota chasing after pheasants! These 16 gauge guns were built on the same frame as the 20 ga. and weigh nearly a pound less than the 12. Them polychokes work real well! If they had never existed, and were just now revealed at the 2017 shot show they would be the hottest thing going! Imagine changing chokes in less than 2 seconds, and no choke tubes to carry, keep track of or loose!
I'm in Lansing, a few blocks from Indiana.
 
Lansing. Not far from that "Wow. What a hole" quary. I have a customer just west of there on Halstead north of Joe Orr. Right on the Chicago Heights/Homewood border.

The other two are a Browning Auto 5 "humpback" made by FN wit the polychoke as well and a Remington Model 8 (if I recall correct) in .300 Savage.
 
Thornton Quarry, drive past it every day, the are preparing to flood the north side, to be used as a flood reservoir for the deep tunnel project.

My first "GOOD" shotgun was an Auto 5 20 Ga.

Model 8 Remington's have the super, vintage cool factor! Another one of the gun genius's designs (John Browning)
