Why do people so often assume the worst of our intentions?  Just listen to the talking candy bar blues.

Oh... sorry if you got an error message when you tried to download my last release.  Just after I published episode 25, I re-posted episode 23 and blew out the bandwidth on my free hosting service.  Dang! I should have taken Mark Vanderberg's good advice to upgrade my account just a day earlier.  My bad.  It won't happen any more.

Episode 10: Start Making Holsters

Cheap holsters are too cheap, and nice holsters are too expensive. Get yourself these books: How to make Holsters, by Al Stohlman; CCW: Carrying Concealed Weapons, by Jerry Ahern; and Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry, by Massad Ayoob. Find some cheap leather and tools, and get started. This section just gets you going, but I'll keep you updated as I make my first tuckable holster for my Taurus PT709.

Introduction to the Frugal Shooter

Hi!
Hi! I'm cheap. Some polite people may say I'm parsimonious, frugal, or thrifty. Nope! I'm a cheap bastard.

... but I like to shoot. There's a conflict of interest, especially these days. This blog is dedicated to saving money, but developing shooting skills and getting in as much trigger time as financially feasible.

Wish me luck, and wish you money saved.
