Bro, you just messed up CMO logic/pake-ness. Now the 507K will be much cheaper.  :rofl:

But I'll let u know. Thanks.
Brownells has EPS regular in stock.  I would bet they have the EPS Carry in stock soon.

But, try checking with DCT for order.

Might need to rethink carry options. HPD chief is requiring “type 2” holsters (which I think means level 2). So the holster options are going to be much less. And concealment is gonna be a lot harder. I planned on appendix carrying a G43x. But now I am going to change my permit app to my G19. So that I can fanny pack carry the G19 w/ TLR7a in my Safariland level 2 holster within the Fanny pack. Since there isn’t any good reliable level 2 holsters for G43x MOS w/ a TLR7 sub on it.

We hope this is an oversight. Come to the OCt 4th hearing to express your concerns, and if cannot, then submit written testimony. If you don't do either, then no grumble.

Gotta be a man of your word. . .

Hopefully he can get something for you soon. 

I'm def going to get an EPS for one of my 19s or 17s.  Likely another for the 48.  Do a lot of trying/testing.

Yup he got the 507Kin stock. Guess I'm going with that. No ETA on EPS carry.

Cool.  He mentioned a while back he had some EPS green inbound, but probably didn't last long.  When I went to his shop about a week later, nothing in the case. 

Which model 507k you going to get?

I already added Oct 4, to my day off bid for the month of October. Hopefully I get it off so I can attend. Does anyone have the link to submit testimony? I will try and find it on my own, but if anybody has the testimony link please add it to this thread. Thanks

Thank you for doing your part.  I've had some friends call me to ask me whats up and a good number of them won't attend or even submit testimony. Yet they're bitching about the rule/law.  If they weren't friends of mine, I would tell them to stop calling me for this kind of stuff until they participate.   It is understood that there may be reasons why people don't submit stuff, like maybe their jobs, but in this situations, there is no reason.  I asked them why and their reply was "nah, i'm just not into this kind of thing", yet they're calling me for info.

Shot the 43x this past weekend and I would say definite potential for CCW use.  Will need to shoot it a lot more.  Thinking about shooting it in a pistol match for Carry Optics.  Planning to shoot at least 200-300 over the next many months.  I have a few holsters coming in for the 43x and 48 MOS, for both IWB/CCW and OWB/training and competition.  Liking the 43x and 48 grip length a lot more than the 42 and 43.  Looking forward to shooting them a lot more.

This whole "type 2" holster thing is quite a PITA.

If type 2 is considered level 2 then would a leather OWB pancake holster that does not have an adjustable "friction lock" around the trigger guard, be able to pass as a level 2? It has a thumb break tho. I.e. de santis dual carry 2.

 Safariland lists their level 2 holster as being with the sls hood and als nub. All the while having an adjustable tension screw against the light. Wouldnt that be level 3?

I know they list their level 3 with als, sls, and plastic piece thats bendable to protect the nub and hood.

Their is very few iwb holsters with a thumb break. And those with a thumb break (only talking bout leather) doesnt have a tensioning screw for the trigger guard.

So dumb. Lol

In my opinion they are trying their darndest to make CCW carry in Hawaii impractical and so restrictive that it defies all common sense and logic.

Not to mention a type 2 level holster will print like a 14" boto in a yoga leotard.

Holster for my 48 MOS came in over the weekend.  Tried it on last night and it conceals better/easier (though prob not much) than the 19 with a similar brand/make holster.  I may try a sidecar-style configuration holster for the 43x.  Decided to try with the 48 MOS first due to a few recommendations.

The gap bothers me. Ill call CHPWS on monday. Vid says there should be no light coming thru.

Seems like the roll pin is preventing a flush fit.
