Militec, Stream light Crimson Trace and a few holsters...The weather was perfect, Monsoon coolness a little welcome rain, good friends, new friends industry folks, LEO Military guys that hadn't ever shot, a gun, & folks that have survived multiple gunfights. Denny Hanson, editor of SWAT magazine has been to Gunsite over 100 times...HE still loves it. I have wanted to do a pistol course at Gunsite since I first became aware of API(original name; American Pistol Institute) back in 1976-77.I have done a couple off site courses and a Carbine course, but, shooting 1911 at Gunsite is just great. The instructors were top notch; No ego, all about the education process. My holster belt and ammo pouches all manged to work just fine. Sitting around listening to Ed Head, Denny Hanson, David Hartman, Jeff Quinn & Rich Grassi swap stories was worth the whole endeavor...Most of you folks have watched this biz grow and continue to support us, THANK YOU!

Sounds like a great time. I would like to go to Gunsite but not likely to happen.
Outstanding.

The original holster design by A.W. Brill of Austin Tx. has always been a favorite. A "strapless" holster that you can turn flips in, and not lose your pistol.(ask me how I know that)
Unfortunately, like all good old stuff, an original Brill holster will cost you a second mortgage these days, if you can find one. A fine idea, Mr. Rob, to bring these classics back, new and improved. FWIW, I can't recommend this holster enough for all around general purpose carry.

FYI, Mike Barranti makes a perfect version of the Brill.

I think Mike's are actually better than the originals. When Madbo showed Mike & Me his Brill collection, he didn't know what he got started.

So what did you think about Militec?

I love the stuff. I have a small bottle they sent me as a sample years ago and I swore I'd buy more when I ran out. I'm getting close...it lasts forever. I've only used it for action parts (hammers, sears, etc.). When I get a new gun I degrease the action parts and only use Militec for a few hundred rounds. It just gets slicker and slicker. Great stuff. I don't know if I'd lube slide rails or that kind of thing with it though. It would be great for eliminating friction but it's thin stuff and sure wouldn't add any anti-battering benefit...at least that's always been my unprofessional opinion. Curious what you think after the class.
Militec? I have been using it for about five years now, &
