    knives made from files

    I made this one the other day with black and white micarta handles. Sold it to a coworker for her husband’s birthday. Kind of wish I could keep it.

    knives made from files

    I’ve made a few dozen out of Farriers rasps. Mostly save-edge brand that I get from my farrier. (When you have horses you see him regularly.) He gives them to me rather than throw them away. If you make people a knife along, they’ll keep you supplied. Put them in your forge until they get to...

    That is the one I have for my G22. It works.

    Drop in 9mm barrel for G22 question?

    I often drop in a Storm Lake 9mm conversion barrel in my Gen 3 G27. I don't change the extractor, and it runs fine. Most of the time I use a .40 caliber magazine as well. I have a Gen 4 G22 that I put a threaded Swenson brand 9mm barrel in, and I did change the extractor to 9mm, mostly for a...

    Is Wholesale Hunter a good/legit outfit?

    I have been in their store in Wetumpka. What you see on google is exactly like real life. I haven't bought from them online, but did buy powder while I was there. Inventory of guns wasn't real large, but the counter guy told me that most of his volume is online sales.

    Glock 26 or Taurus G3c

    It was a revolver. I don’t recall the model number, their rendition of a J frame. It was chambered in .357 magnum. It would run .38 Special fine, but would lock up on .357’s.

    Glock 26 or Taurus G3c

    I bought a brand new Taurus one time. It worked sometimes, sometimes it didn’t. I gave it away. I’ve bought Eight Glocks since then, and carried a few others Glocks that belonged my employer. I can’t imagine trying to decide between the two.

    Custom rifle didn't sell; take best offer?

    I, along with many, many others would never have known it was for sale, because we filter auctions with a reserve.

    Chamber Re-Lining.

    Before you go cutting chambers with a reamer, PM me your info. I might have some .444 brass that I could donate to the cause. You know, for science!

    Do you own a Glock?

    I currently have 4 of the double stack iteration, and recently sold the G48. (I”ll probably roll that money into a Gen5 G26.) After all these years of a Glock feeling a certain way, the slimline ones just don’t. I don’t have very big hands, but sometimes think my hand has conformed to hold a...

    Cowboy Load versus Half Cock

    Surprising and funny things that happened while hunting

    When I was a teenager I sat on a little folding stool right in trail between two big briar patches. A doe came running toward me on the trail and right as I thought she would clobber me, I saw her eyes get huge, she then sidestepped and kept going. I waited all afternoon for a buck that might...
