New Site design is live

The new site design when live last night around 1am MDT. Hopefully it'll present a better view of what I'm trying to accomplish with the site and "get to the point quicker". Time will tell.

We've got forums

It's fairly important to get some feedback on the web site as we progress, and as part of that process I've added in forums to the stoppingpower.info web site this last weekend. Of course I'm the only poster on there right now, but hopefully that will change over time.

Additionally, I've added a feedback page that will email me your comments, suggestions, or complaints. I don't mind having a critique of the web site, but please offer a suggestion of how you would fix it if you do have some criticism.

Both feedback and forums are now available on the site menu.

What holster do you use?

Some friends and I have been looking into holsters a lot lately. I mentioned that holsters seems to put us into more of the gun nut crowd, to which Jon replied "we're already shooting cantaloupe, I think we're already there."

There's a decent article up on Defense Tech basically of the tune "why you don't want a thigh holster," which seems like it was worth the read. We hadn't really talked about them all that much, other than "they look cool". However, the more I read up on them out on the net, the more I see people say that's about all they do. So we're back to the old classics:

Hip holster (strong side or cross draw)
Shoulder holster
Belt holster (side, back, etc).

The belt holster has a lot of advantages going for it. Jon's trying it since it came with his Springfield 1911, and we'll see how that works out over the long term. You can't deny it makes the gun more handy at the range. I went with a shoulder rig because my revolver is a 6" long GP100 and I didn't want to have it banging into my hip. I'm just going to have to try it out for a while and see what I think.

Anybody else have a favorite?
