I live in a small town. Discharging a firearm within city limits is highly restricted. Even if restrictions are met I am responsible for ALL collateral damage. I have been attacked 3 times in 20 years. Twice walking out on the street, once in my garage. I have five doorways leading...

Well here I go again. I have given away a couple of Savage model 24, one in 308/12 and the other in 223/20. I have given away 8 revolvers, 4 bolt action rifles half a dozen H&R single shots. Since I got out of the Army in 1969 I have been hunting almost every year with a brother in law. In...

I live in Az high desert plateau. I have never seen a bear in 20+ years but I have been followed by mountain lion on occasion. Biggest problem is startled canines dumped by people who no longer want their pets. Most of the abandoned ferals are no problem but some are aggressive. I have kept a...

I am 74 this year. Heart attack and stint 2 weeks ago, pacemaker yesterday. Wrist problems have made me give away everything over 22mag. 20 gauge is just a little more than I can tote or shoot with comfort. I still like to go walking in high desert plateau, 5000'. Being realistic I would like...

I prefer a Buck 279 in horizontal sheath for everyday carry. That said, I live in Az. and have noticed more than a few rodeo competitors carry an Anza. I suppose that there are times in such a lifestyle positive retention would be of less value than cutting loose with a razor edge. In...

Thank you Dave but I still truly enjoy walking creeks draws and arroyos here in high country Az. Largest possible critter out there is probably a Mt lion. Bear is very rare. I am hoping a 410 slug is the answer I am looking for as I buy my meat at Safeway. thanks again blindhari

To add to my original post, I have given away quite a few shotguns, revolvers and rifles to get down to 22lr and 22mag. The first gun I ever had was a Winchester 20 gauge auto loader from 1960. If I could still shoot it without discomfort I would still own it. I would still have the Diamondback...

I have had to cut back to 22lr and 22mag due to arthritus creeping into wrist and shoulder joints. I have a chance to pickup a Savage Model 42. I was wondering if anyone had noticed increased recoil pushing slugs through them. I understand there are people for and against this caliber. I am...

I have about 8 of these as I recall. First I got years ago from a comic book ad. It was advertised as a "Roy Rogers Trick Knife".About 2 1/4 long. I believe you bump the hinge end and the blade will release. Scales have paper slides in them and they were ad promos/giveaways for large...

White Mountains in AZ. Stopped on the road, wife and I still in the car, Apache police pulls up behind me. LEO asks why I am stopped and I point out the finest bull elk I have ever seen on the other side of the road. Asks why I didn't get out, my reply " the state owns the road but the...

As an Infantry company armorer in the late 60s I found that with the company comanders approval I could order in personal knives for soldiers to be held in the arms room pending departure. AG Russell & Blade magazine could get Randall, Dozier, Gerber etc knives to me when no one else could. A...

Back in 1956, advice from a WWII Carlson Raider. "If you can't think of any thing else to do, stay low, move quiet and go to where you here the guns". Civilian version: think first, stick with your decision, Never,Ever Run. blindhari SGT 3rd Btn, 6th Inf

Hello West Kentucky, Look up AG Russell on the internet, go to all knives and type Canoe into search. Best buy for everyday carry is War Eagle. Guaranty has no limits. blindhari

My solution for a 94 Win trapper in .357 mag was three long latigo leather strips braided with 8" slack. Tied off to brass rings and hooked to sling attachments. Less than 6oz extra weight, flexible and self adjusting for any carry. blindhari
