Today as we're leaving the local pizza joint. Guy goes to pay and OOPS, drops 2-1911 mags, that were in his back pocket.
The cashier grabs them and says you dropped these. 3 other patrons standing around. Not 1 screamed, dialed 911, or started yelling at the gun owner.
I'm like, you don't happen to be selling that gun, since you're throwing mags away, are you? HaHa, no i'm not, was the reply.

I was going to say about 20-25 degrees ...
He probably dropped them because of the sweat in his hands from the 110 heat.

110 Degrees? Must be a cool day
That’s what I would expect in some rural parts of CO too though, but that sounds like a good place to me. In Boulder or Denver, you probably ought to get your mags back and leave promptly while saying thank you. It still wouldn’t necessarily result in the police being called, but best to not stick around to find out.

I don?t believe it?s super hot where GK is at (he can correct me if I?m wrong), down here is a different story, fortunately we?ve had a ?cold? snap the last few days, 96 was the high today.

Same elevation as the denver metro area. Windsor CO was 4797', Washboard alley is 4760' at my house. Prescott is 5280 - 6300' They even have snowplows in Prescott, that have seen some use last winter.
Now the valley is a tepid 100+ ish most of the summer.

Summer temps here mimic Denver for the most part. July is almost exhausted and I've seen 97 maybe three times, and the winter is much more milder than that of Hicken/cock/olis land.

Yesterday, in the parking lot of a busy gas station/convenience store in Altus, I had a gentleman hand me a wad of cash. I handed him a very nice AR-15. Nobody cared...except the two of us and we were both happy.
Oh...and it was hot out.

Similar incident occurred a couple months ago here, except it was in a Walgreens parking lot, and I was the one handing the cash.

Nice!
Who knew that individuals could sell their Constitutionally protected property to another citizen? An amazing concept.

Either way I'm jealous....even though it sounds hot

Yeah...it's freakin' hot here. But I'll take hot and (relatively) free over mile and (relatively) oppressed any day.

OP, what material works best in your opinion for IWB carry?
Ever have kydex/plastic worn OWB get affected by heat?

Not OP, but I carried my G19 OWB in a kydex rig during 111 recently with no issues.

I don't think most Kydex softens until it gets near 300?. But don't quote me on that.
I've heard from my family that 105F there is not like 105f here , because it is really dry. Still hot.
Our 100F recently feels like 100F in Houston. (maybe little less humid than that)

Really just depends on the time of year, Tucson isn?t that much dryer than the Front range in my experience thus far, and likely on par with Southern Colorado, in fact during monsoon season (which is just getting started), it is QUITE humid. On my way to work last week, day after a good rain, it was 86% humidity.

I expect to do something similar here in Kansas (although I'll be buying, not selling).
I lived in Tucson from 1968-1984. I still have family/friends in both the Tucson/Phoenix metro areas. I always laugh when I hear the ?but it?s a dry heat?! It?s still fucking miserable. Now I only visit late November through early March.
In my ?poor college student? days I got around mostly on a bicycle or motorcycle and it was like riding through a blast furnace haha. Monsoon season was always a ?fun? time. In ?83 we had a 75 year flood-houses just disappeared into usually dry Rillito River. The desert can be as beautiful as it is deadly. Hard to beat look when the cacti bloom.
Obviously those were pre-kydex days and my holsters were leather and I quickly learned I got what paid for.

That is basically same as living near equator...[Sweat]
I've been to many hot areas during summer, but I haven't lived there. Hottest I've visited was Baker CA. WOW. That place at least felt hotter than hottest I've felt in Las Vegas.

Yeah it was muggy to say the least, I?ll take 100+ with low humidity over 80?s and high humidity any day. Baker is terrible, and the Mojave desert isn?t nearly as colorful as the Sonoran.

Today as we're leaving the local pizza joint. Guy goes to pay and OOPS, drops 2-1911 mags, that were in his back pocket.
The cashier grabs them and says you dropped these. 3 other patrons standing around. Not 1 screamed, dialed 911, or started yelling at the gun owner.

Doesn't matter, pizza still sucks.
