    Ammo supply catching up with demand?

    Gander Mountain had a TON of everything. Of course WWB 9mm was $30/100 and .45 was $50/100.

    How good is 440C?

    I have a Blade Tech Pro Hunter Lite. It seems like a good knife, but how good is the 440C it is made of? It has a great edge and is rock solid otherwise.

    Fixed Blade

    I get the whole more than 3" is a deadly weapon thing, but I see nothing about not being able to carry it openly. I asked a police offider and a sheriff deputy, and they said as long as it isn't a Crocodile Dundee knife they wouldn't care. Honestly, I never see anyone on the trail where I go...

    Fixed Blade

    I have a great oak stick I picked up 2 years ago on the same trail I run. It is about 4.5 feet long and my hand barely fits around it. It mainly just swats down spider webs as I'm running, but still misses half of them. Right now I carry my griptilian, but just felt the need for a fixed blade...

    Fixed Blade

    I needed a good folder and got a Benchmade Griptilian. Now I need a good fixed blade for less than $100. I was looking at the griptilian fixed blades(154cm), the Benchmade Rant(440C), and the SOG Sealpup Elite(AUS8). I want a blade length of 4-5". I guess the question is, which would serve...

    What is wrong with AUS8?

    Maybe the 9mm isn't very effective!

    So he says he sees more 9mm's and .380's than anything else on the AUTOPSY TABLE, and states they are not effective?

    Door security

    That door club thing works pretty good. I work maintenance for an apartment complex andcouldn't get in an apartment that had that installed. The woman was asleep and couldn't hear her doorbell.. She called several hours later to complain her water heater was still not working and I told her I...

    Springfield IL hit by tornados

    I'm in Decatur and the storm only missed us by a couple of miles. I was smack dab in the middle of the tornado of '96 here in Decatur. Was sitting in the house when the roof lifted off. Scared the hell out of me.

    Minimal amount of ammo?

    I found the best way to stockpile when I had less money was to buy 2 boxes of ammo each trip to Wal Mart. 1-100 box of WWB 9mm, and 1 50 round box of Blazer Brass or Blazer .45acp.No more than $22 each time. Add that 2-3 times a month over a long period of time and it adds up. however for a...

    What sacrifices do you make to pay for your firearms habit?

    I too don't drink or smoke. I work in apartment maintenance for a 43 acre development and live on site. The pay is good, but with 2 kids its not great. I love when it snows, because that is overtime. Last Thursday night I worked from 11pm to 5am on the Gator plowing snow. $135 easy bucks...

    Very Scary experience at the range today!

    Back in 96 I was shooting am old dead tree with S&B 00 buck and had one come back and hit me in the stomach. Considering I was only about 15 feet away, and wearing only a wife beater, it left a good welt. My shooting buddy laughed for about 5 minutes after he realized I was okay.

    SHTF and chronic diseases

    I psoed this exact question to my dad last week. He is on several medcations for Congestive HEart Failure. I know one is a blood thinner, not sure about the others. He only gets a prescription once a month for a months supply:( He is on disability, so there isn't any way to get more.

    No 'speed shooting' at range?

    I wound up not being happy with the range overall. At the rifle range, you have to shoot through a large concrete tube. The reverb was horrible.:scrutiny: Jeez, I know what you mean. The range I go to in Springfield IL you can shoot as fast as you want, as long as you can control it...
