Detonics, the top left knife in your first picture there, can you give me some kind of ID or information on that one? I was given one by my grandfather years ago.

Kansas here, but I was in the same boat a few years ago. I ended up doing a private party sale. Chances are there is a local gun trading website where you can probably find something you'd like. When I got my first handgun at 18 I told the man I purchased it from my age, and had the laws...

That... is gorgeous. Very nice job! If you don't mind me asking, what did it cost you to have the GunKote applied?

Here's a video if anyone hasn't seen or heard of this before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3MPSx_TQpY Looks interesting to me.

I think one of the most beautiful things in the world is an old Remington 870 with good-looking wood furniture and a hacked off barrel.

Beautiful! I'm jealous. I'll have one some day too.

I wasn't talking about praying to the Norse gods and drinking chicken blood before each shot. Thanks for the constructive posts.

What, if anything, do you do every time before you shoot handguns for target/competition/etc? Dry fire, mantra? I need some ideas of things to do mentally before I take each shot. Had a disheartening day at the range this afternoon :barf:

Joerg that sounds really interesting. I'd love to read/watch that! I'd probably just use a baseball bat and as big a knife as I could carry concealed. Honestly, my first choice for HD would be the bat. I know how dangerous a person can be with a knife, but I'd prefer to keep what range I had...

I did a similar trade as you. Had a Glock 19, kinda liked it, but had a trade opportunity to get a S&W Mod. 66 (4 inch) and didn't think twice about it. A little different than your situation, but still. Although my next handgun purchase will be another Glock 19/17. :) I'd get both if you...

I picked up a cheap leather holster from Cabela's yesterday for some OWB carry when I'm out in the woods, etc. The thing is stiff as a board! What is a good way to start breaking it in? At the moment, I'm not even able to clear leather with one hand. The front site is getting caught on...

Based purely on my experiences with mine: 1. Magazines - Over a thousand rounds through my Kimber Custom II, only time it ever hiccuped was with the standard magazines it came with. 12 FTF/FTE out of over 1000 rounds with the base Kimber model, I can't bash Kimber in any regard. Grabbed a...

Jbkebert, I like your style. Especially the Boulevard Wheat :) Kansan here as well.

I'm 21 years old and my two loves are my S&W 66 and my 1911. In that order!

Looks like an animal!! I wish you the best of luck, Eric. Certainly seems like a quality piece.
