Silent Thunder UPDATES

Posted by Rob Longenecker on January 29th, 2010

OK, I know; it’s been a while since I posted. The main reason is the tremendous number of orders we’re taking for the Silent Thunder line of holsters.

The Silent Thunder IWB continues to rock. People seem to love it – buy one and come back for all their carry guns.

Silent Thunder IWB for 1911

The Silent Thunder Champion for IDPA is growing because people at matches talk about it and their friends want one, too.

Silent Thunder Champion for 5 1911

Silent Thunder Champion for 5" 1911

The Silent Thunder STX super-concealment belt holster has really taken off. If you want to carry on the belt and really conceal your pistol, the STX will do it.

It really tucks the butt of the gun in so it’s much easier to conceal.

Limiting beliefs
+++++++++++++++++++

Have you become addicted to limiting beliefs? Do those limiting beliefs soothe you and comfort you while at the same time holding you back?

In the short term, it can be much easier to tell yourself you can’t do it. Yet when you look at the big picture, it’s much better to go ahead and do the work of achievement.

You can comfort yourself today by believing that your lack of progress is not your responsibility. However, you’ll soon be paying for that short-term comfort with long-term regret.

It is difficult work to acknowledge and follow the best of your possibilities. And it is well worth the effort.

For your dreams are calling to you, and they’ll never be satisfied until you do something about them. You have what it takes to reach them, and they know it.

Break free of your dependence on limiting beliefs. And achieve the great things that only you can bring to life.

What are they teaching your kids/grandkids?

Posted by Rob Longenecker on December 16th, 2009

This hit me hard. The progressive left is sure smacking the kids early with propaganda making the U.S. out to be a bad place.

Hollywood celebrities and education gurus have teamed together to distribute to schools across the country a dramatic new curriculum that casts American history

as an epic march of victims seeking to shrug off the shackles of the warmongering, racist, capitalist, imperialist United States.

Details here.

It’s all about what an awful place this is.  Howard Zinn, source of the Zinn Education Project, which is in schools in every state, says,

“We’re dreamers. We want it all. We want a peaceful world. We want an egalitarian world. We dont’ want war. We don’t want capitalism. We want a decent society.”

His vision of a decent society is not what I want for my country – or my grandchildren. Why?

When you socially engineer society, you increase the power of government and limit personal freedoms.

The real down side is someone gets to impose their view of utopia on you through government – whether you want it or not.

Goodbye, Jim Rohn

Posted by Rob Longenecker on December 15th, 2009

You may not have known Jim Rohn. He wasn’t part of the shooting community, he was a motivator, successful public speaker, well-known author and business mentor.

Jim Rohn, one of my favorite teachers and mentors, passed away this week after an 18-month battle with pulmonary fibrosis. Jim was a brilliant and inspiring business philosopher and one of life’s true gentlemen. I’ve heard him speak in person and listened to many of his recordings. Even though Jim is gone, you may wish to get to know his work, especially in these challenging times.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from Jim:

“It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go. ”

“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.”

“Work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”

“The major reason for setting a goal is for what it makes of you to accomplish it. What it makes of you will always be the far greater value than what you get.”

“Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.”

“If you go to work on your goals, your goals will go to work on you. If you go to work on your plan, your plan will go to work on you. Whatever good things we build end up building us.”

“One of the major reasons why people are not doing well is because they keep trying to get through the day. A more worthy challenge is to try to get from the day.”

“Affirmation without discipline is the beginning of delusion.”

“For every disciplined effort there is a multiple reward.”

“Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.”

“Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better.”

“Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day.”

“Success is not to be pursued; it is to be attracted by the person you become.”

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Posted by Rob Longenecker on November 26th, 2009

Despite the trends in Washington, D.C., we have many things for which to be thankful. Those of you who’ve traveled afar to other lands know the blessings in which we abound.

Most of all, I appreciate the people in my life who support what I’m up to and stand for the best within me. I am grateful for their love.

Thanks, too, to all the customers that have made us successful and allowed our families to prosper. We appreciate it.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

“November Special” extended – Save 25% on 2nd Silent Thunder

Posted by Rob Longenecker on November 17th, 2009

Due to the success of our “November Special” we have extended the special until the end of November.  (Originally it was to end on the 15th.)

Just order a Silent Thunder IWB, belt holster, Champion or STX and you can get 25% off the second Silent Thunder.  (This applies to the least expensive of the two.)

When you order online, I will manually change the final total and deduct the discount at my end. The software won’t do it automatically.

Best not to use Paypal for these orders, but I have a work around for that also. Ask me if you want more details.

Current lead time on Silent Thunders is 2-3 weeks and we’re running on schedule.

Thanks for making the Silent Thunder one of the most successful holster designs ever!

Magnified thoughts
+++++++++++++++++++

Your thoughts are more powerful than you can ever realize.
For there is a part of you that faithfully puts each thought into action without question.

Your thoughts affect every part of you in ways much too numerous to ever keep track of. Each thought sets off a cascade of responses within you that cannot be stopped.

What you think affects where your life goes. For each thought is magnified and manifested through the whole of your existence.

Positive thinking empowers much more than your thoughts.
Negative thinking can dismantle every part of your life.

You always have a choice of what to think. When making that choice, always remember each thought has great power that continues long after the thought has passed from your consciousness.

Though thinking does not make it so, thinking makes you make it so. What you think becomes what you live.

NEW – Silent Thunder STX (OWB)

Posted by Rob Longenecker on November 4th, 2009

The new Silent Thunder STX is the most concealable Silent Thunder belt holster yet.

STX - Front STX - Back

1911’s are easy to conceal because they’re relatively thin and flat in profile, but the butt is large and can sometimes “print.”

The STX does a magnificent job of hiding the butt. (Shown above with 4″ 1911)

How?

Silent Thunder STX rotates the butt inwards toward the body and also provides a rock-solid mount close to the body like a leather pancake holster.

Wow! The STX has beta-testers totally impressed!

The Silent Thunder STX conceals a full-size 1911 incredibly well and is comfortable to boot.

The STX has a fixed FBI cant and rides behind your strong side hip.  It has two tension screws and it’s leather-lined like all Silent Thunder holsters.

If you like to carry a full-size 1911 – any 1911 – on your belt, you may have just found your holster.  (CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ONLY FOR 1911’s)

What’s the DELIVERY TIME?

TWO WEEKS now, but it may be longer once the word gets out.
